Never Tell by Lisa Gardner

A Tense Suburban Reckoning with the Lethal Echoes and Hidden Sins of a Secretive Past

Detective D.D. Warren arrives at a suburban crime scene to find a man dead in his home office, his computer shot to pieces, and his pregnant wife, Evie Carter, holding the gun. It looks like a simple case until D.D. realizes that years ago, Evie’s father died in a nearly identical shooting. The investigation takes a turn when survivor Flora Dane recognizes the victim—a man from her own past as a hostage who should have been behind bars long ago. As D.D. and Flora dig into the Carter family's history, they find that some secrets are worth killing for. In Never Tell, the line between victim and predator disappears as the past catches up to the present.
