Publisher's summary

My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due to a genetic condition, I can’t feel pain. I never have. I never will.

The last thing Boston Detective D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear… She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work.

My sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman.

Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from a previous crime scene: A bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D. D. Warren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.

Our father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about my father he shouldn’t. My sister claims she can help catch him. I think just because I can’t feel pain doesn’t mean my family can’t hurt me.

D.D. may not be back on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose Killer isn’t just targeting lone women, he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down: Fear nothing.

I loved this book. It was exceptional in the performance and writing. Enjoy and on to the next one.

awesome plot twist

What a book, ha d yo put it down. Then when I thought this might be a hard crime to solve , boom and nice twist I never considered. Suspense was awesome and I recommend this for sure.

It was my favorite book in this series .. what a twist ??

Loved the way she portrayed the characters and the gripping suspense .. that you couldn’t stop listening .. her story line is so different from the next .. this Audible will be hard to stop and get back into your real life .. and you’ll be yearning and anxiously waiting to start listening to where you left off .. guessing the whole way !!

Best in Series -

Would you listen to Fear Nothing again? Why?

I would definitely listen or read this again. The development of both the characters and the plot was mesmerizing. The relationship between the two sisters led to surprises, including the ending.
The relationship between a person and pain is a different area to explore, one that is easy to relate with. The contrast between DD and her psychiatrist gives an extra depth to this novel, enhancing the pain relationship to the characters added a different perspective.

Gripping Suspense that won't let go..

"This book swallowed me whole after the first chapter! I mean that literally. I just could not put it down. It was the last thing I thought about as I went to sleep and the first thing I thought about when I got up the next morning. It was just that good." - Incredibly Captivating , Gripping Suspense. highly recommended..

page turner

Would you listen to Fear Nothing again? Why?

I will probably listen to this again - missed a lot of details the first time through. This series is interesting to me as Detective DD Warren isn't necessarily the main character.

WOW! Could not stop listening!

2nd book by Gardner I have read and I have not been disappointed yet!!! If you listen to this book get ready for a real thriller.

Good book!

Great story line. I liked the narrator and the suspense.
I like the detective and want to read more of her stories.

Excellent, as always!

Loved this one! Fooled me right up to the end. One of her best books!

Engaging story, not my favorite Lisa Gardner book

What made the experience of listening to Fear Nothing the most enjoyable?

The manner in which the story lines came together, gradually revealing the illuminating details of the characters. It was intriguing to see Detective Warren in a role where she was vulnerable.

What other book might you compare Fear Nothing to and why?

It has just whetted my appetite for more Lisa Gardner books, particularly those in the Detective D. D. Warren series. The particulars described in the book; i.e., women's correctional facilities, post-mortem mutilation, were interesting in the context of the story, but haven't spurred me to learn more about them.

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

Kirsten Potter performed other books in the Detective D. D. Warren series and her performance greatly added to my interest, as it did in this book. She captures the characters beautifully.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I thought the interviews about the foster care and old neighborhood were the most moving parts of the story. Also, the statement by the woman who described conditions in the correctional facility was very moving.

Any additional comments?

There were a few details I would quibble with in this book. In the early part of the story, Detective Warren is in so much pain she is barely able to get through the day. By the end of the story - chronologically, just a few days on, her pain is barely given any mention. I found this inconsistency to be distracting. Also, apparently Detective Warren was on suspension throughout most of the story, yet this did not cause her any difficulties when the investigation was ongoing. Finally, so much emphasis was given to the Day sisters, that Detective Warren's part faded away. In Live to Tell and The Neighbor, the story lines were more balanced. It was a great book, just not one of my favorites.
