Catch Me

This story kept me guessing, which is all I ask from a good thriller author like Lisa Gardner. Charline has had a traumatic childhood. Years later, she's finally made a good life for herself when her best friends are murdered, one by one, on the same date, exactly a year apart. Charline knows she's next. She knows how and when she will die, but she has no idea who the murderer is. This book explores different themes such as child abuse, sex offenders, revenge, and resilience, but in a way that keeps you guessing.

I never wanted to put the book down. Who is killing her friends? What happened on January 21st? What happened in her childhood that she completely blocked from her memory? Meanwhile, Detective DD has to deal with a vigilante who kills child molesters while trying to figure out what the deal is with Charline. Is she saying the truth? Or is she who they are after? I loved the story, it had me gasping in horror a couple of times.
