I think I said this in my review for Lisa Gardner's last book - Hide - but this author really does get better and better with every book she writes. Say Goodbye was absolutely brilliant!!! Gripping from start to finish with the most shocking and disturbing storyline she has come up with yet!! I thought the antagonist was the most intriguing 'baddie' I have yet to read in any crime/thriller. On the one hand, he is an absolute monster, an abomination of the human race, but on the flip side you feel and understand him. It's these contrasting emotions that make the book horribly eerie. And the use of spiders is also guaranteed to make your skin crawl.
I couldn't put this book down while I was reading it and I just didn't want it to end. It was so emotionally and psychologically arresting and I think it will have a strong effect on anyone reading it. I just can't believe Lisa Gardner isn't more popular then she currently is because this truly is crime writing at it's best!!!
