Publisher's summary

Detective D. D. Warren has four days to stop a killer in this “shocking…‘must read’”* from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner—one of Library Journal's Best Thrillers of the Year.

Charlene Grant believes she is going to die. For the past few years, her childhood friends have been murdered one by one. Same day. Same time. Now she’s the last of her friends alive, and she’s counting down the final four days of her life until January 21st.

Charlene doesn’t plan on going down without a fight. She has taken up boxing, shooting, and running. She also wants Boston’s top homicide detective, D. D. Warren, to handle the investigation.

But as D. D. delves deeper into the case, she starts to question the woman’s story. Instinct tells her that Charlene may not be in any danger at all. If that’s true, the woman must have a secret—one so terrifying that it alone could be the greatest threat of all.

Solid Thriller--Sensitive Subject

A gritty psychological thriller, well written, well narrated, well researched. The action is immediate and had me captivated from early in the listen. The story is inventive with plenty of twists that don't seem awkward or contrived. Gardner handles the repulsive problem of child abuse reasonably, although it is a very sensitive subject and particularly violent in this story. The chilling details necessary to build the plot are alarming and should be taken into consideration if you are planning to listen.
My first Gardner novel--chosen because of other readers' reviews--and I was not disappointed. I can understand why Gardner has a loyal following.

Kept me listening

Kept me guessing, kept me interested and will keep me listening and or reading more Dee Dee Waren stories. Janet

Enjoyed from start to finish

What made the experience of listening to Catch Me the most enjoyable?

Enjoyed the characters, the story kept my attention thought the book, narrator was good.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, It kept me guessing what was going on. I was able to deduce some of it, but not all of it, which kept my interests.

What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

Enjoyed the performance. Made the story pop

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Lifetime TV script

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It was fine as filler listening material for awhile. But nothing out of the mainstream, a bit predictable, and characters that weren't very interesting.

What aspect of Kirsten Potter’s performance would you have changed?

Her sarcastic, under-the-breath cop voice was so monotone, I truly got tired of hearing it. Some variation from the gritty seen-it-all cop stereotype would have been refreshing.

Any additional comments?

Overall it was entertaining enough to get me through my long commute for a week or so. But not something I would have sought out.

Bit draw out

It was great but took a bit long to get to the end without thinking omg get to the point, love the narrator

Loved it!!!

What made the experience of listening to Catch Me the most enjoyable?

Totally has all the twists and turns I have come to expect from this author, definitely worth the credit!

Have you listened to any of Kirsten Potter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I always enjoy her vocals.

Never dull, but always surprising

What an engaging and surprising book! It had me guessing from start to finish. I noticed that it's the 6th in a series, and maybe if I'd read the other ones 1st, I wouldn't have been so positively surprised and impressed, but I have every intention of going back and reading the 1st 5!
I had heard of Lisa Gardner (the author), and I had heard good things. My one book experience tends to confirm the overall positive impression! Good character development, and no unreasonable surprises; the characters don't change their overall spots, but that doesn't mean that it's overall boring and unsurprising! Excellent book!
