Fear Nothing: (Detective D. D. Warren) by Lisa Gardner -- Sidekick

by BookBuddy

The seventh installment of Lisa Gardner's Detective D.D. Warren series, Fear Nothing is a dark fusion of thriller and mystery. While on the hunt for a serial killer with a gruesome motif, D.D. sustains a rare and painful injury, one that puts her on the sidelines. Looking for some relief and a way to deal with the emotional turmoil that comes with being in constant pain, she starts seeing a pain therapist who herself can feel no pain. When the killer strikes again, D.D. finds herself drawn back into the chase, alongside her therapist, Dr. Adeline Glen, who has a dark connection to the events.

In Fear Nothing, Gardner uses a mixture of first- and third-person perspective with a casual, engaging writing style. Let the chapter-by-chapter guide in this sidekick of Fear Nothing guide you through the twists and turns of the novel, and help you make sense of the major themes and character motivations. D.D. must learn to come to grips with the pain she feels, while Adeline is haunted by her biological family's grisly legacy, one that ties her to the killer in an intimate way. Who is really killing the women of Boston by skinning them? Fear Nothing brings up interesting notions about nature vs. nurture and the role pain plays in life. A fast-paced conclusion brings the story full circle and is sure to leave readers satisfied.

Phenomenal book by a phenomenal writer. I docked it a star because the whole narrative had geared me up for a flash bang, blood rush, several-marvelous-twists type of conclusion (as Gardner is wont to do), but the actual ending was totally anticlimactic, even depressing. Others may see her ending as a fitting resolution to a long and complex story, but I could have thought of several other more exciting and coherent ways to end it that would have tied the whole story together very well. Then again, she is the multi-million, best-selling novelist, and I'm not haha. Still, her main character, Dee Dee Warren is a hoot throughout the entire book, and I never get tired of Dee Dee or Gardner's wit and cleverness in writing great, emotion-laden human scenes.

c'est vraiment leeeeeent purée, je me suis un peu fait chier mais la fin rattrape un peu le truc

[Beverley]

OM Goodness! What a fascinating read! This was some kind of Silence of the Lambs meets something out of a Stephen King novel. This is a must read or listen. I'm on to the next D.D. Warren.

[Cindy B.]

Author always gives an enthralling read with a bit of weird to add to the flavor - this one’s no different. As usual an excellent narration,

[Steve Wratten]

A bit more complex that some Gardner books, and the final chapters are quite a surprise.

[Marge]
