    About this audiobook

    Lisa Gardner's runaway New York Times bestseller—a fast-paced thrill ride featuring Detective D. D. Warren.

    Seven years ago, carefree college student Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break. For 472 days, Flora learned just how much one person can endure.

    Miraculously alive after her ordeal, Flora has spent the past five years reacquainting herself with the rhythms of normal life, working with her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes. She has a mother who’s never stopped loving her, a brother who is scared of the person she’s become, and a bedroom wall covered with photos of other girls who’ve never made it home.

    When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime—a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him—she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? And with her firsthand knowledge of criminal behavior, could she hold the key to rescuing a missing college student whose abduction has rocked Boston? When Flora herself disappears, D.D. realizes a far more sinister predator is out there. One who’s determined that this time, Flora Dane will never escape. And now it is all up to D. D. Warren to find her.

      Unfortunately, this was not her best work. It was too similar to her previous book, but not near as good.

      Thank you Bookreporter for the gift of this book. I have not read a Lisa Gardner novel since 2010, and thoroughly enjoyed the suspense of this novel. Flora Dane survives a 14-month kidnapping captivity and attempts to return to daily living, but this task proves more difficult than her captivity. The story alternates between present day Flora and kidnapped Flora. Lisa Gardner delves into Flora's psyche in both situations. The story explores the trauma that a survivor suffers when finally safe, which parallels that of a combat soldier returning home. Lisa Gardner's description of confinement brings the horror of the situation to the reader. I felt that I needed to check all my doors and windows, and not venture to bars, or anywhere at night. Flora’s mother remains a rock in the face of all Flora’s problems. Find Her maintained my interest throughout the story.
    • 4/5
      Lisa Gardner hit it out of the park with this one! I've been reading DD Warren books for as long as I can remember and but I can't remember the last time I got as excited about one like this. I couldn't put it down. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.
    • 5/5
      Story was fantastic, but the narrator really bright it to life.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely incredible! I almost got fired from how many times I audibly gasped at work lol!
    • 4/5
      It kept my attention. The narrator sounded much older than the main character she was portraying though - kinda threw me off.
    • 5/5
      Wow, Lisa Gardner is Back with Find Her the latest DD warren novel she got her mojo back, not that she ever lost it.

      Flora Dane is held captive for 472 days with a psycho before she was found DD is sent in to find out about her after the sudden disappearance of three girls years later the more DD digs into the disappearances the more she is struggling with finding out information about Flora What is she hiding & WHY IS SHE HOLDING OUT ON DD??

      The prep Devon Goulding who is a suspect in the disappearances is found dead so he can't be the killer SO WHO IS??

      What we find out is a lot of creepy information about Flora I would rather go into let's just say she is a piece of work!!

      Lisa Gardner writes an exceptional thriller that will keep you hooked right up to the end.
    • 5/5
      This is the first book I've read by Lisa Gardner but it certainly won't be the last! Apparently this is a later book in a series so now I'm going to hunt down the rest of the books. Find Her was exactly the kind of creepy suspense that kept my mind going back to the story even when I had to step away from the book. I listened to the audio which was perfectly narrated to give it that dark edge that set the tone for the story. Loved it. Recommend it.
    • 4/5
      A real page turner. Loved it.
    • 5/5
      The action starts right at the beginning which really got me hooked! Very suspenseful and horrifying. After I started reading I wondered if it was a good idea to read it before bed or not. Lisa Gardner did a great job of keeping me guessing. I couldn't figure out who the kidnapper was until she made it obvious. This is actually the 8th book in Det. D.D. Warren series but I had no problem reading it as a stand alone.
    • 4/5
      I was expecting a much darker ending. I found it a bit too hollywood happy ending for my taste. The story was interesting though and there were some cleverly crafted characters.
    • 4/5
      DD Warren is back, this time she is investigating the disappearance of several young women. Flora Dane, kidnapped 7 years ago, and rescued 5 years ago, is captured again. Several others are missing, too. As usual, Lisa Gardner's novels are fast-paced and entertaining reads.
    • 4/5
      Clever, exciting, and somewhat twisted, this is definitely a brilliant read. I readily admit, I did not find this one predictable at all, and quite enjoyed the adventure of finding out where it was going.
    • 4/5
      I just love Lisa Gardner books. She never fails to disappoint and she kept up that tradition with this book. This one involves a girl who had been held hostage for 472 days. Her story was pretty creepy and very gross during her captivity. The story also dealt with a Stockholm Syndrome mentality acquired by the abductee. Now, Flora has been found and her abductor is dead. Flora has spent the last five years improving herself in case that happens to her again. And it may just happen, Flora is determined to find a recent girl who did not come home one night.This book was absolutely awesome and I flew through the pages. And, of course, I stayed up way past my bedtime, but it was worth it. I definitely recommend this if your into suspense.Thanks to Penguin Group Dutton and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
    • 3/5
      D.D. Warren won't let up on a victim, this time Flora, a captive for 472 days. Get over it. Lisa. The story is fairly complex and keeps you guessing. Thrilling. Riveting. Boring in places. The reader really felt like a survivor. As always, Lisa Gardner's books jump around and it's sometimes hard to determine who's talking and when. Different voices might help. The whodunit happened about 2/3 of the way through and the last third we spent wondering...still, there was a climax. Next?
    • 5/5
      I could not put this book down. It was one twist after another. Loved every minute of it.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy Lisa Gardner's Boston Detective D.D. Warren series, and this novel, about a woman held hostage but freed from her captor by the FBI, is good, but not quite as riveting as I had hoped... Years later, is the kidnap victim a vigilante or a victim again? And who would dare? Lots of interesting information, including about the FBI's victim services... but it might have been a bit faster pace with more police work and fewer flashbacks.
    • 5/5
      Detective D.D. Warren, called to a crime scene, discovers that Flora Dane, an abduction survivor, is involved in the death of the man who was holding her captive and wonders if the young woman is a victim or a vigilante. But when Flora suddenly disappears while investigating the disappearance of another young woman, the detective has good reason to believe she’s become a kidnap victim once again and the race is on to find Flora and the other missing women before one of them turns up dead.Gritty and disturbing, the ghastly story of Flora’s life at the hands of her captor alternates with the present-day story of D.D.’s investigation. With believable characters, the fast-paced plot, and some unexpected twists, readers will find themselves drawn in by the realistic depiction of the aftermath for abduction survivors. Despite the chilling atmosphere created by the revelations of Flora’s horrific four hundred seventy-two days in the hands of her malevolent captor, readers will find it difficult to set this book aside before reaching the conclusion and discovering Flora’s ultimate fate. Highly recommended.
    • 5/5
      Lisa Gardner has done it again. I devoured this book! I love the main character, Flora, who was held captive for 472 day and survived, or did she? I love D.D. Warren as an investigator, she pushes and pushes. I felt the characters were extremely well developed and I came to know them. I felt what they felt. This book is filled with twists and turns and oh, the suspense of it all. You never knew what was going to happen next. This is the kind of book that you can sink your teeth into. It flowed well from beginning to end with alternating chapters and voices. I so wanted Flora to be okay. The characters are strong female leads. I highly recommend this read to anyone who loves a great psychological suspense. This one may keep you up at night trying to figure out what happens next. Unputdownable book!!
    • 4/5
      The story of Flora Dane, kidnapped and held hostage for over 400 days. This was the best audio rendition I hav listened to so far. Narrated by Kristen Potter, she imbues Flora with terror, sadness and hope.
    • 5/5

      The book opens with a terrifying chapter. A young woman is trapped in a pine coffin, only let out to perform unspeakable acts for the monster who has kidnapped her. Meet Flora Dane who, five years ago, made the mistake of drinking too much at a bar and going to the bathroom by herself. She spent the next 472 days being held captive by a long haul trucker. Eventually she was found, and returned to her family. Flora never healed emotionally and was never able to fit into her old life, despite the help of her family and psychiatrists. The new Flora loves self-defense classes, can pick locks and knows how to make a weapon out of any resource. Flora 2.0 is no-one’s victim.

       

      When Flora disappears from her ultra-secure apartment, Detective D. D. Warren can't understand how someone that security conscious could have been taken. Flora is an unusually complex victim and it doesn't take Detective Warren long to discover she might not be trustworthy. Alternating chapters that include Flora's memories from the first time she was taken, her current abduction, and Warren's search for her, dramatically propel this story forward at a rapid pace. This is everything a psychological thriller is supposed to be.

       

      The plot is well executed, and there are many twists and turns along the way. I sped through the story in a one afternoon, eager to find out who had abducted Flora, but also what Flora had done that still haunted her years later. This heart pounding story is both thrilling and disturbing. Even though this book is part of a series, it's easily read as a stand alone novel. Detective D. D. Warren is not really the main character and her background makes little difference. This story is all Flora (and Flora 2.0). If you're looking for a great psychological thriller, I can highly recommend Find Her by Lisa Gardner.

      This audiobook hit everything that I like when I'm driving...it was exciting and it made me want to run more errands than I had! D.D. Warren is a favorite detective of mine and she doesn't disappoint in this book. Flora is kidnapped while on Spring Break in Florida and is found 472 days later. She and the detective meet up five years later in a garage where a bartender is now dead and Flora is naked and handcuffed. You can't go wrong with a Lisa Gardner book if you like thrillers!
    • 5/5
      This is number 8 in the Detective D.D. Warren series and I enjoyed getting to know her character again. Every so often book comes along that grabs you right away, won't let you put it down, and leaves you changed from when you started. This is one of those books. Highly recommended read.
    • 5/5
      Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break in college. She was kept in a pine coffin and held captive for more than a year. Originally she was only let her out of her coffin so that he could abuse her physically and sexually. Gradually her captor realized that he had broken her spiritually and allowed her out more. He even took her with him to work with him. He was a long-distance truck driver. Due to some incredible police work, Flora was finally found and saved. However, Flora, bent on revenge, became not only a survivor, but a vigilante as well. This dangerous path brought her back to her past in an incredible story. I simply could not put this book down. It was riveting from beginning to end.
    • 5/5
      This is a very intense story. I had a very hard time putting this down to go to work or go to bed. This was another great story with D.D. Warren. Is there more to Flora who has been abducted and held for more than a year. Is she a victim again or is she a vigilante. I give this book a five out of five. I received an ebook copy from firsttoread for a fair and honest opinion.
