Book Description:
What you don't know can kill you.
In Texas a serial killer is executed, taking to his grave the identity of his only child.
In Boston a nine-year-old girl is abandoned in a hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple.
Twenty years later, Melanie Stokes still considers herself lucky. Until...
Until the terrifying visions begin.
Until a has-been reporter starts investigating her past.
Until the first note arrives saying YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.
Melanie had lost all memory of her life before the adoption, and now someone wants to give it back. Even if it includes the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter in Texas. As Melanie pursues every lead, chases every shadow in the search for her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from twenty years ago will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth. And with her very life at stake, Melanie will fear that the family she loves the most may be the people she should trust the least.

Very creepy, with lots of plot twists and turns. Kept me riveted until the very last page; I sat up and read almost the whole book at one time because I couldn't put it down!

My second book by this author. The story kept me guessing until the end. I would definitely recommend Lisa Gardner books and hope to read more.

This is the first book I've read by Lisa Gardner. I loved it! She knows how to create a main character that is really likable, and I found myself rooting for her in the end. Great book with lots of surprises.

Very good....tinges of evil made it hard to keep going at times, but as the mom of two little girls, that's to be expected with a book that deals with violence against little girls. Still a good read, and the ending had my jaw dropped.

This book was excellent! Lots of plot twists and mystery....could not put it down!

Bigger stretch of the imagination than the others of hers that I've read. Even so, the characters are nicely touched with foibles and/or failings that make them feel as if you might have met them at one time or another in your way through the world. Moves along at a nice clip with enough loose ends to keep you turning the pages.

HEATHER P. (I finished the Other Daughter by Lisa Gardner, very twisty and turny but a good interesting read. The Perfect Husband was alot better but it was a good read. I got confused about names in the book often other than that it was a great read.
This is another GREAT book by Lisa Gardner. I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
Another good book from this author, really enjoyed it.
Gaylene G. (Interesting plot that keeps wrapping around itself, leaving the reader a little confused. Pretty good mystery after all!
My book has a different cover than this one, but the same book!! I really love Lisa Gardner's books and this one was no exception! Sheree R.
