WOW!! This book was a great book, but beware it is very graphic with the sexual abuse of children. I would have to stop and put it down a few times just to get the images from my head. I did finish the book however, because it is a good story and it does show how real(unfortunately) child abduction and sexual abuse is. The author even touches on it in the back of the book. She did use true life situations in her book. It is just so sad that this is the kind of world we live in.

This book is amazingly written. Be careful, though. If you are a survivor I strongly caution against reading this book. It's so well written that you definitely feel you are inside the monster's mind, reading his thoughts. She doesn't exaggerate, but doesn't soften or downplay any scene. If you skip over the graphic scenes you'll miss the bigger story.
I believe she's earned her rank among the great in authors, but I still wish I'd skipped this book.

When my husband asked me what I was reading my answer was "A nasty book about the Burgerman who snatches little boys, then turns them into sex slaves as well as kidnaps hookers and tortures them before murdering them". The bad guy also collects and keeps deadly spiders. Definately not the kind of person you want to run into! But the good guys or in this case girl is after him. Kimberly is a pregnant FBI agent who starts getting calls for help on her cell phone. Only friends, family and a new hooker informant have the number so she immediately goes on the alert and the hunt for the caller who sound like a young boy. This is definitely a page turner and not for those who don't like to read violent books.

I just want to say this was the first book I ever read where I had to put it down and go check on my 6 yr old, give him hugs and kisses and say a prayer thanking God he was safe and to keep him safe. This was a very heart gripping book.

First let me say that I have read every book by Lisa Gardner and she is an excellent author and this book is no exception. It is well researched, well written, gripping and heart pounding. However, I am a new mom and found the whole theme of pedophilia and child molestation very hard to take (the spiders did not bother me as much). I can see that other reviewers felt the same way. But it really says a lot about Gardner as an author that she can provoke this type of emotional response. I did enjoy revisiting Kimberly and to a lesser extent Rainie and Quincy (who are two of my favorite all time characters). So if you are a Gardner fan and can prepare yourself for a hard read then go for it!

Very good book that I enjoyed. Learned a lot about spiders, which I never found so interesting before. It was a good book for people without a weak stomach about spiders.

FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy lost her mother and her sister to a sadistic killer. Her father was one of the FBI's best profilers, and her FBI Agent husband was rapidly moving up the ranks. When Kimberly refused to step back from the harder cases due to her pregnancy, some thought she was still trying to prove herself. She wasn't. Kimberly tried to back off for the sake of her baby, but following leads and tracking killers was in her blood.

It started when a young prostitute named Delilah Rose contacted Kimberly with a story regarding Mr. Dinchara (an anagram for arachnid). He was obsessed with spiders and would have them crawl over the prostitutes, and had them do `things' while the spiders watched. Now one of the girls he frequently hired was gone. Delilah Rose was convinced that the girl was a victim of foul play. While the situation was creepy, Kimberly had no evidence of wrongdoing. She gave Delilah Rose her phone number and sent her on her way. Later when comparing notes with Special Agent Sal Martignetti, Kimberly realized something was afoot. There were several prostitutes missing and it looked like Dinchara was in the middle of it.

Kimberly teamed up with Martignetti. They didn't have a `case' but spent their free time tracking leads. When the leads started piling up, they started tracking the arachnid loving serial killer in earnest.

Say Goodbye is an incredible suspense novel. Dinchara is not your average garden variety serial killer. He's like a spider, spinning its web, drawing you in, and then leaves you dangling. It's creepy in places and downright scary in others. Reading late into the night, I had to stop and check the locks on the door more than once.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I must offer a word of caution. First off, if you're scared of spiders, forget this book. You won't get past the first chapter. Say Goodbye also covers several social issues such as kidnapping, child pornography, and rape, in graphic detail. If you have trouble reading about those topics you might want to pass on this book.
