A husband arrives home late one night to discover that his wife is missing and their four-year-old daughter tucked safely in her bed. He doesn’t call the police for several hours, a failing which immediately raises red flags for Sergeant D.D. Warren. As Warren and Detective Brian Miller go through the house, D.D. feels that something is off. Something is too perfect. In Lisa Gardner’s third book of her D.D. Warren series, The Neighbor, Gardner takes us through a scenario that definitely is not M...

#3 in this series may just be my favorite so far. Sergeant D.D. Warren (she does NOT like being called Detective even though that is the name of the series) finally becomes a major character, and quite a character she is.Although I figured out at least two of the mysteries on my own, there were plenty others to resolve and surprise me. Some I felt uncomfortable with. The neighbor being one of them, and Sandra's story the other. On to #4.

Ok, so I didn't write a review right away. And still wondering if I could do this story justice! Once again, Lisa will grab you by your lapels, collar -or not, right from the start! No kidding! Right?! Story centers around Sandy, a pretty blond with issues! Past, present, and future..there didn't seem to be an end in sight. And where does that leave hubby? Or little one Ree.?There's trust issues, there's abuse-both physical as well as sexual- it was not "in depth" (and I didn't feel any triggers...

4.5/5This was a good and enjoyable read. It kept me turning page after page to see how things would play out. As a reader, I love the unexpected plot twists that hit me like a train. And this book didn't disappoint. The twist ending I didn't see coming in this one was totally mind-blowing. It was clever! Recommended for all mystery/thriller fans.

4.5 (Probably would’ve been a solid 5 if they gave me just a little more Bobby Dodge!💖💖🤣) Im really enjoying this series! This was the 3rd & so far each has been a great book in its own right.. It’s really up there for me.. Standing tall with Karin Slaughters Grant County series- which says a lot coming from me (she’s 1 of my all time faves!) & I’ve been listening to the audiobooks so I can absolutely recommend them if that’s the way you’d prefer to read them!😊

Wow! Detective DD Warren has her hands full with this one! Sandra, her cute little 4 yo daughter Ree and husband Jason, live a seemingly perfect life together in a cosy little bungalow. Jason is a reporter for the local paper, while Sandra is a school teacher. Between them they look after Ree, with no other family around at all.Then Sandra vanishes without trace, while Jason is at work one night, and the only person in the house when he arrives home from work at 2am, is little Ree, sound asleep

I really enjoyed this third book in the Detective DD Warren series. In this story, a housewife from a troubled childhood disappears during the night. The police suspect her husband, but there are other people around that could have done it. Great storytelling and character development.

Seriously, this book averages almost 4 stars? Maybe folks just haven't read as many really good mysteries as I have or else I really missed something in this book.First, okay I get it...the young blonde wife is beautiful. How many times did the author have to bang that over my head? Lest we brunettes forget--yes, yes, the blonde woman is beautiful. Okay I get it. But GMAFB re: her being lonely. Girl made her bed--married rich and he's gone a lot. Suck it up, buttercup. Also, I am a teacher and I...

This strange, awkward little mystery starts off well enough. It's a compelling puzzle, and for a long portion I'm completely invested in finding out what's going to happen and am intrigued by the unusual behavior of several of the characters. But it goes on too long without any answers and after a while I'm wondering if the writer has dug herself too big of a hole that she's not going to be able to get out of elegantly. Sure enough, when the the question we've been waiting to have answered is fi...

While the suspense and drama of this book were riveting, I thought the explanations offered in the end were far-fetched (bordering on the ridiculous). I also felt you had to have read her preceeding novel to fully understand Jason's character.Spoiler alert here** Did anyone else find the reason behind Sandra's disappearance to be unbelievably far-fetched? I mean, I just didn't buy that this woman would leave her daughter ALONE in the house in order to stage her own disappearance? If she was such...

The third book in the Detective D.D. Warren series and the first where D.D. comes out from Bobby Dodge's shadow and plays a prominent role in the series that bears her name. Finally!D.D. receives a call from Detective Brian Miller on a crime that is sure to become a media frenzy. Jason Jones comes home from work to find that his wife, Sandra, is missing leaving behind their 4 year old daughter, Clarissa ("Ree"). Sandra is young, blonde, and beautiful. Jason is compared to "McDreamy" from "Grey's...

3.5 starsBook number three in the Detective D.D. Warren series. Good plot, interesting mystery. Easy to read. More of Warren in this book, but less of Bobby Dodge, the side kick - sadly he barely made an appearance. Many twists and turns, some mysteries easy to solve, others a bit more concealed. On to book #4 Live to Tell.

Sandra Jones, a married middle school teacher and mother of a four-year old daughter, disappears in the middle of the night while her husband, Jason, is working on an assignment. He’s a reporter and returns home to find his wife missing and his sleeping daughter alone. Sergeant D. D. Warren is asked to help with the case and quickly determines that something is “off” with this family. Meanwhile, one of the neighbors has critical information but is reluctant to come forward because of his own per...

4.5 StarsIt's been several years since I read this book and didn't remember all the details, but the story was sooo good! Jason Jones comes home to find his twenty-three year-old wife missing, while their four year old daughter is tucked away in bed, sleeping. As the search begins we discover that Jason and Sandra aren't the picture perfect couple/family that they appear to be, but the secrets aren't as straightforward as you'd think. As the hours tick by and the suspect list grows, with Jason's...

I am enjoying this mystery series from Lisa Gardner. At times the scenarios are unbelievable but her writing style flows very nicely and keeps you interested.This is the third book of the DD Warren series and finally she is featured more predominantly.I'm rating it a 4 1/2

Reading this book was like having a 300+ page long conversation with an annoying friend who hints at something she knows that you don't know and is just DYING for you to ask, but you don't. So many overt allusions to "what happened on the vacation" blah blah blah that I really stopped caring to find out. If not for that little percentage bar on the bottom of my kindle mocking my struggle to finish this book, I would have given in to my disinterest and stopped about 1/4 of the way through.

4 solid missing person starsI am just loving this D.D. Warren series with Marilyn! This one is #3 and pretty dark and suspenseful. Exploring the world of sex offenders, abuse, murder, and cybercrime.Kicking off with a missing woman, this one was quite the page-turner! Sandy is a young, beautiful, middle school teacher who disappears one night from her house. She has a precocious four-year-old daughter and would not have abandoned her willingly. Sandy’s husband Jason is one cool customer, and the...

The Neighbor (Detective D.D. Warren #3) by Lisa Gardner (Goodreads Author), Emily Janice Card (Narrator), Kirsten Potter (Narrator), Kirby Heyborne (Narrator)DeAnn and I are having a blast buddy reading the D.D. Warren books and we have just finished #3. Bobby Dodge, who we saw a lot of in the first two books, made some grumpy cameo appearances from his bed when D.D. called him and woke him up to brainstorm about her latest case. As with the first two books, we spend more time with suspects and

My first Lisa Gardner novel, which I was excited to read due to hearing good things from friends. Whilst I enjoyed this one, I wasn't bowled over. This author seems very on top of her research, which was evident in her detail of the horrible world of childhood sexual abuse, I left the story feeling like I knew a lot about the murky area of rehabilitation and parole, and how these offenders are expected to enter programs, and the vigourous expectations of the attendees. This was interesting readi...
