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.

Plot Line Errors

It was a good read, although like many I was disappointed in their pick for the killer. She could have come up with a much more believable killer. I was hoping it would have been the warden, and she would have been the foster child that had to go back to her mother. One thing really bothers me though. Aren't the editors supposed to look for errors in the plot lines? There was a major plot line where they were talking about the heaters causing carbon monoxide poisoning. Several times they specifically stated that they were "electric heaters." Pretty sure that is impossible.

Another enjoyable book by Lisa Gardner

Where does Fear Nothing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's not at the top but it was really enjoyable and made the time pass quickly as I was cleaning the house!

What did you like best about this story?

It was fun trying to figure out the "true" story.

What three words best describe Kirsten Potter’s voice?

slow, relaxing, deep

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

No, I needed breaks from it.

Fear Nothing

As in 's Gardner's previous D.D. Warren novels, an unexpected twist at the end. Can't wait to hear the next in the series.

Another fantastic DD Warren novel!!!

The performance was riveting, the storyline downright creepy, and the journey one I will not soon forget.

This will definitely reside in my favorite books, right after "Catch Me", will has yet to be beat!

Thank you Lisa Gardner!!!

Hsunting

Very interesting and spellbinding. Very surprising ending. Very fully formed characters. A must read for Lisa Gardner fans

I love DD Warren books

This has become one of my favorite series! Lisa Gardner is superb! I can't say which book has my favorite, because I have enjoyed all of them.

Great

Interesting plot twist . I love this DD warren serIES. I look forward to reading the next ones

Absolutely amazing!

If you could sum up Fear Nothing in three words, what would they be?

I waited eagerly for this book to come out, and it did not disappoint. Lisa Gardner's writing and plot development were outstanding. I was on the edge of my seat while listening to it, and crying at the end. Kirsten Potter did a fantastic job narrating the book. I highly recommend to anyone who likes murder mysteries.

What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Fantastic narration. She has a calm, steady voice, with appropriate inflections and drama added. She doesn't try to create different voices for the characters, which is good.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried at the end. For the injustice to one character, and the loneliness of another.

Any additional comments?

Read the whole series. The development of Detective D.D. Warren as a jealous former flame of bobby, to a hard ass, take no prisoners detective, to the softer side as wife, mother and victim is skillfully done.

Make sure you have some uninterrupted time! Enjoy

I've listened to all of Lisa Gardner's books and especially enjoyed the D.D. Warren series. This book doesn't concentrate so much on D.D., but instead told a great story of someone who cannot feel pain. No, the book is not realistic I suppose - but I wasn't reading True Crime. Yes it has a dark subject, but most murder mysteries do. If you listen for pleasure like I do, you'll love it. I really enjoyed the performance by Kirsten Potter.

Best ever

Amazing, I never saw it coming. Awesome story. From a philosophical perspective: the best she ever wrote. It was intelligent, sweet and sad and explores new meanings for the word love.
