About this ebook

Twenty years ago, Melanie Stokes was abandoned in a Boston hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple. Gifted with loving parents, a doting brother, and an indulgent uncle, Melanie has always considered herself lucky. Until the first cryptic, threatening note arrives: “You Get What You Deserve.”

Melanie has no memory of her life before the adoption. Now someone wants her to remember it all—even the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter. As Melanie pursues every lead and chases every shadow in search of her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from her past will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lisa Gardner's Love You More.

Ratings and reviews

This is 6th Lisa Gardner novel I've had the pleasure of reading. She's awesome once you start you can't and don't want to put it down. OMG which one will I read next.

I find her books very intricate and just really really good. I THINK the is my favorite ......too much explicit sex and cussing....that will stop me from reading more

Capturing storyline, endearing characters, and villains deserving of the loathing you'll get for them!! Her attention to detail sucked me in completely! I mourned the loss many deserving fictitious lives and can't wait to do so again! Bravo! 5 stars!
