Anita C. (idahobookworm) reviewed Fiction can be strange as truth! on 6/16/2009 + 17 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

It's said that truth can be stranger than fiction. Lisa Gardner has done a masterful job of weaving fiction on a par with the (true) story of the D.C. Sniper, where motives went much deeper than it appeared. Without ruining the story, I will only say that the plot goes much deeper than what is visible on the surface - three women from very different socio-economic classes joined together in the quest to bring justice to the man they and police believed to be a serial rapist/murderer. Complicating the plot was her development of the lead detective's personal and professional challenges from the past. What I rank as masterful is how Gardner gathers up all the strands of the individual stories and weaves them together into a cohesive unit with a surprise ending that is very well justified.

Brilliant. Just BRILLIANT!
