Kiss Her Goodbye: A Frankie Elkin Novel Volume 4 [Large Print]

By Lisa Gardner

Book Overview

Frankie Elkin is called to Tucson, Arizona to find a missing Afghan refugee whose friend suspects she is in grave danger--before it is too late--in this mystery thriller from a New York Times bestselling author.

"Timely and completely gripping." --Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of Still Life

Recent Afghan refugee and young mother Sabera Ahmadi was last seen exiting her place of work three weeks ago. The local police have yet to open a case, while her older, domineering husband seems unconcerned. At the insistence of Sabera's closest friend, missing persons expert Frankie Elkin agrees to take up the search just in time for a video of Sabera to surface--showing her walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder.

Frankie quickly notes there's much more to the Ahmadi family than meets the eye. The father Isaad is a brilliant mathematician, Sabera a gifted linguist, and their little girl Zahra has an uncanny ability to remember anything she sees. Which given everything that has happened during the girl's short life, may be a terrible curse.

When Isaad also disappears under mysterious circumstances and an attempt is made on Zahra's life, Frankie realizes she must crack the code of this family's horrific past. Someone is coming for the Ahmadis. And violence is clearly an option.

When everything is on the line, how far would you go to protect the ones you love? Frankie is about to find out.

"A thought-provoking tale that lingers with you." --David Baldacci, New York Times bestselling author of the King & Maxwell series

Slow Burn

I love the Frankie Elkin series, I really do, but this one was a real slow burn for me. A slog that I almost did not finish, which is unheard of for me with a Lisa Gardner book. Let's just say this wasn't one of the best in the series. I especially did not care for the ending because it leaves us hanging in a very dissatisfying way. All in all, I will read another in the series, just like I will read anything Lisa Gardner writes, I just hope the next one is a faster paced thriller.
