Typical Lisa Gardner wit and sarcasm. Love it. I
canβt think of any other author of crime novels who
could have me smiling and possibly laughing aloud while
conveying the story about a missing family of six. And
letβs not forget the dog named Dog.
YOUβLL BE SORRY is the next best tale by this
literary giant, in my opinion. Candidly, I feel that way
each time I open a new book by this very prolific author. A
whole new cast of characters to meet. Mysterious clues
everywhere and yet nowhere, just like the Dixon family. In
one word, awesome. So thanks again to Lisa Gardner for
another adventure penned by her unparalleled imagination.
So a Bed and Breakfast thatβs going to be standing
in the last place where the Dixons were seen so many years
ago.
Mandy Grady is now Chief Grady, stepping into her
fatherβs huge shoes. In her initial meeting with the
couple having the Dixon home renovated, Mandy is extremely
cautious in answering the myriad questions. Her final retort
is Lisa Gardner to a T. So the Dixons were probably dead.
Possibly murdered by a local? Welcome to the neighborhood.
What can I say? Welcome to Lisa Gardner, and YOUβLL BE
SORRY.
Remember these words β appearances can be
deceiving. Put on your best detective hat and jump right
into a storyline thatβs designed to confuse and
challenge. Meet Raquel and Theo, the new owners of that
house. On the surface, they are performing an excellent
fixer-upper on the neighborhood eyesore and gossip piece.
Never judge a book by its cover holds especially true with
Lisa Gardner's stories. Research the word epigenetics.
Sometimes, local legends were something else. Never as
true as in YOUβLL BE SORRY. Ding dong bell, the witch
is in the well. On now, who nowadays believes in witches,
much less witchcraft? But in this little hamlet of sorts
filled with the most intriguing characters, this belief
seems to be alive and well. Well, maybe not so much well as
in a well. Lisa Gardner upped the ante on fabulous in
YOUβLL BE SORRY. Sit down in a comfy chair and get
ready for a marathon read.
For Raquel and Theo Collins, it appeared to be love at first sight. Raquel, a renowned interior designer, and Theo, a brash financial wizard met and married in a matter of months, only to confront a terrible tragedy. Now, unbearably aware of the distance between them, they’ve come to a remote town in New Hampshire to begin anew.
Perched on a ledge with stunning views, the Dixon’s family lodge was once a crown jewel of the mountains. Until late one August night, when both parents and their four children vanished, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, and a mystery that has endured for thirty years. Now, its latest occupants, the Collinses, are arriving, and the former grand lodge is once more stirring to life.
For Amanda Grady, following in her father’s footsteps as the recently appointed Shereford police chief, it’s good to see a fresh start for the derelict Dixon place. However, not everyone is happy about a new family in the old home and its hidden past may have returned with a vengeance.
When a stray dog leads to the discovery of a skeleton on the property, Raquel and Theo face a daunting choice of what to believe, who to trust, and how to survive. Because in the tiny village of Shereford the time has come. The local residents, the new neighbors, and the fledgling police chief must work together to unravel the terrifying events that happened one night thirty years ago, or…
