Kiss Her Goodbye

A Frankie Elkin Novel

De: Lisa Gardner

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner returns with the 4th installment in her bestselling Frankie Elkin series, in which Frankie is called to Tucson, Arizona, to find a missing Afghan refugee, whose friend suspects she is in grave danger—before it is too late.

A young mother haunted by war, determined to make a fresh start. But sometimes, the sins of the past aren't so easy to escape.

Recent Afghan refugee Sabera Ahmadi was last seen exiting her place of work three weeks ago. The local police have yet to open a case, while her older, domineering husband seems unconcerned. Sabera's closest friend, however, is convinced Sabera would never willingly leave her three‑year old daughter. At her insistence, missing persons expert Frankie Elkin agrees to take up the search through the broiling streets of Tucson. Just in time for a video of the young mother to surface—showing her walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder.

Frankie quickly notes there's much more to the Ahmadi family than meets the eye. The father Isaad is a brilliant mathematician, Sabera a gifted linguist, and their little girl Zahra has an uncanny ability to remember anything she sees. Which given everything that has happened during the girl's short life, may be a terrible curse. When Isaad also disappears under mysterious circumstances and an attempt is made on Zahra's life, Frankie realizes she must quickly crack the code of this family's horrific past.

Someone is coming for the Ahmadis. And violence is clearly an option. When everything is on the line, how far would you go to protect the ones you love?

Frankie is about to find out.

Very interesting, value information

I loved how she went into the Afghanistan life and culture. Since the end of the war I have wondered what happened to the people that were able to get out.

Lisa Gardner Never Disappoints!

As with all Lisa Gardner's books, this work is well researched and thoughtful, while also full of suspense, plot twists, intrigue, and fun. In this particular novel, Lisa highlights and brings to life an issue extremely relevant to the times in which we live, putting a face to the refugee crisis and educating readers on the many challenges faced by individuals experiencing resettlement. Excellent addition to the Frankie Elkin series! Can't wait for the next one!

Boring

I've loved all Lisa Gardner books, especially the FrankiexElkin books, but this was terrible. So incredibly boring, and the narration of Frankie was awful. very disappointing

I love as always Lisa Gardners gift of sharing culture and people with others!

Nothing, as it was always an informative, learning and feeling experience (the whole emotional spectrum and love the humor and laughs because that is always needed in our lives and wellbeing-in my opinion). Thank you!

I’m just fast forwarding at this point

I love Frankie and I really looked forward to this book, but I feel bogged down in some kind of weird college class about Afghanistan. I’m not sure who to root for at this point.

Loved the Culture, Lost in the Plot

As a devoted Lisa Gardner reader, I was drawn in by the rich cultural details of Kiss Her Goodbye. But while the setting fascinated me, the story’s pace lagged, and I struggled to find the narrative’s heartbeat. Still, Gardner’s craft keeps me coming back

another amazing Frankie Elkin adventure

it was a different concept for a story but I absolutely loved it Lisa Gardner never disappoints!

Not her best book

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning but this book didn't work for me. I forced myself to finish. Next book will wait for reviews before buying.

My first return on a Lisa Gardner book.

The narration is antagonistic until it's weary. So disappointed in the story, the narration and the entire book that I've read so far.
I no longer care about any character in it. Tired of the "smart" conversations. Don't care about any of the characters. A big disappointment even though I've read the first books with joy.

what a disappointment

the storyline is too farfetched for me. finished it because I paid for it. Frankie Elkin bomb
