Publisher's summary

The best-selling author of Hide and Gone draws us into the venomous mind games of her most terrifying killer yet.

Come into my parlor...

For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true - but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.

Said the spider to the fly...

As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren't exactly Kimberly's specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant - she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly's own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it's all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder...or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.

Kimberly's caught in a web more lethal than any spider's, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she's trapped. What she doesn't know is that she's close - too close - to a psychopath who makes women's nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won't be long before it's time for Kimberly, to... SAY GOODBYE

Lisa Gardner nailed it again!!!!!!

Another superb book by Lisa Gardner!!! I can't get enough of Kimberly Quincey. I wish there were more books in this series. This book kept my interest from beginning to end. I was a little creeped out by all of the spider talk. I'm not a big fan of the creepy crawlers and this book was bursting with them. This book scares you if your a parent. It's full of perverts and pedophiles and at times I wanted to go into the book so I could throttle the bad guys.
This book was definitely worth 5 stars. The female narrator at times got on my nerves. The way she portrayed some of the female characters at times was awful. The male narrator was okay.
I highly recommend this book. It is worth the credit.

Confusing time line.

The story itself is good, but trying to track order of events is difficult. Vague names like man/boy/son/child are used for villains and victims throughout the book until the end. The story time hopps through at least 20 years with little clarity as to which time-line is currently being discussed. It does unravel in the end but pay careful attention. I really enjoy all the other books in the FBI Profiler series, I was just glad when this one was finished.

Great story but a little confusing

Loved the story…done very tastefully for such a taboo subject. I found the male victims too hard to keep track of until the epilogue.

Not her best

I really didn’t like all of the spider information. It added nothing to the story.

Not for the faint of heart

This book is an engrossing listen ~ well written and very well narrated ~ but be warned: if you have children, especially if you have a young boy, parts of this book will break your heart. Certain passages are very hard to listen to, and might just make you frightened enough never, ever to let your child out of your sight for a single moment.

Best Read In A Long Time

I dont usually write reviews. After being disillusioned from the last 10 or so audio books I found this one. Great mystery thriller. Listened in one day.

What a tangled web we weave...Very enjoyable story

If you could sum up Say Goodbye in three words, what would they be?

Very enjoyable story

What did you like best about this story?

The twists and turns as well as the characters...

What does Ann Marie Lee and Lincoln Hoppe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excitement of a real life drama....

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

Yes...

Any additional comments?

This is a very good mystery with suspense, romance, and the unexpected twist...

Intense and edge of sanity story but extremely well written!

If you have ever worked in law enforcement or the social work field or the criminal justice system...this story will trigger a lot for you! I purchased this as a second book written by Lisa Gardener and from the very beginning of the story it grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go! If you have a weak stomach or can't handle the harsh reality of the evil that exists in humans, I wouldn't suggest this book because it is extremely graphic. The moral is given by the characters from their perspectives and it is a slap in the face type of reality. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book for those who are into crime thriller mystery type of novels.

dark, brooding, creepy and welll written....

Another good Gardner novel. If you like stories about psycopathic, pedophile serial killers with a spiker fetich, then you'll like this one. I blew right throught it. Lisa Gardner is a great writer.

Said the spider to the fly...

Not one of my favorites by Lisa Gardner but still didn't put it away. Listened to it until the end.
Felt it was harder to follow than other books by her. But because I'm familiar with her writing style I could follow along.
