The Seventh Month -Lisa Gardner

Review by Sindi Kunkle:
"I just finished reading "The Seventh Month" by Lisa Gardner. The title refers to her seventh month of pregnancy. Compared to the other Lisa Gardner books I have read, this one is weak. It is a short-story novella and not as creative as her other books. I was afraid Ms. Gardner had run out of ideas or lost her touch when it came to storytelling. But then, I read "Catch Me". This book is as good as her first book in the D.D. Warren series in my opinion. The story involves a character named Charlie that grew up with two best friends. Two years ago, on January 21st, one of her friends was murdered. The following year, on January 21st, the second friend was murdered. Charlie just knows this year it will be her that the killer comes after. She spends the year preparing to be attacked by learning how to box and shoot a gun. she contacts our heroine, Sargent D.D.Warren, to explain how she thinks she will be murdered. Charlie wants to ensure the detective investigating her upcoming murder has pertinent information so that Detective Warren can find the killer once and for all. As like all good Lisa Gardner books, there are plot twists throughout. One of the things that I loved about this book is that it includes characters from her other book series. I absolutely loved this book and am feeling a sadness that I have read all of the books in the D.D.Warren series.

So, I am moving on to the Quincy and Rainie series. Here are the books in order:
  • The Perfect Husband
  • The Third Victim
  • The Next Accident
  • The Killing Hour
  • Gone
  • Say Goodbye

    The D.D. Warren series:
  • Alone
  • Hide
  • The Neighbor
  • Live to Tell
  • Love You More
  • The Seventh Month
  • Catch Me

    Other books written by Lisa Gardner, but not in a series:
  • The Other Daughter
  • The Survivors Club
  • I'd Kill For That
  • Touch and Go
