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...

scary

Too real. Very graphic. I was glued to it from beginning to end, but shivered at some of the descriptions.

SAY GOOD BYE

This book is truly terrifying. It's scarier then CRIMINAL MINDS and LAW AND ORDER, SPECIAL VICTIM'S UNIT roles into one!

GREAT BOOK

I really injoyed this book!!It had a great story and keep you wanting more,cant wait to get her next book...

A good detective story

I'm not one for stories whose characters are mostly cops, FBI agents and detectives but for what it was it was a good one. If I'd based this solely on my particular preferences [I prefer a much darkly rooted mental sensibility a la Deliverance or We Need to Talk about Kevin] I may have given this a 3.5. The southern setting and creepy set up [arachnids, a serial killer and the deep south] is was attracted me to this story as I've been looking for good modern southern gothic. The setting, story and characters were all there but it did not have the deep seated eeriness that I was looking for. However, I did get the creepy crawleys and had a good few nights of bad spider dreams! Gardner weaves a fine story and if you like a good mystery this'll do ya.

great story telling; a lot of twists and turns!

This is a great "what's going to happen next?" story. The character development is great and the plot, while outrageous, is still very believable. The narrators do a great job as well. I definitely recommend this audio book. warning: probably not appropriate to listen around young children.

BEWARE child abuse storyline!

Great read/ listen albeit hard to get through at times because of the mentioned above and being a mother of children same age as the victims I found myself pausing and at times fast-forwarding. It was unexpected and a bit much for me.
For performance I prefer Anna Fields rather than Ms. Lee.

Outstanding Performances

The performances in this audible book are excellent. At times so powerful it was hard not to hold my breath. Lisa Gardner of course once again provides a powerful story line.

EXCELLENT

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

enough little twists to keep it VERY interesting

Have you listened to any of Ann Marie Lee and Lincoln Hoppe ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ann Marie Lee - she is always a easy narrator to listen to and makes even bad book enjoyable

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

yes

Any additional comments?

This is one of Lisa Jackson's better books - she does an excellent job in keeping the story going with some nice twist - this could actually be a true story

Very good

Will be looking for other stories written by this author. Enjoyed the narrators as well.

LOVE THIS SERIES

I love this series but be warned that some parts of this book will be very difficult to listen to for most people. I had to skip forward many times.
