The Survivors Club Lisa Gardner 9780553589450 Books

This was my first Lisa Gardner book (I am reading a second one as I am writing this). I had heard of her and was keen to read what she wrote. I wasn't disappointed. The first thing that struck me as I started reading is that Gardner knows how to write. By that I means that, unlike a lot of crime readers I like for their plots and stories more than for their mastery of writing, Gardner uses a variety of techniques to tell her stories. She shifts viewpoints, she uses metaphors, she alternates between deeply psychological and hard facts... I bet she has studied writing, and she has done that well. As a consequence, the writing is very good. Not only are you reading a great story, but you can also enjoy the writing. Doesn't always happen these days. Five stars to start with. Now, as for the plot, it is excellent too. Three women who have survived being attacked by a rapist form a club, the survivors' club, and they meet regularly. They are far from having recovered, but when their rapist, Eddie Como is arrested and trialled they are ecstatic. His savage murder before the trial will change everything. Was he really the rapist? Who's killed him and why? Is one the club's women behind the assassination? All of a sudden, another woman is attacked and killed. Lots of twists, questions, dark areas and psychological issues in this novel. Well paced, cleverly written,interesting characters, I recommend this book for what it is,an excellent crime novel.

The Survivors Club Lisa Gardner 9780553589450 Books Reviews

Taught, compelling mystery about rape, surviving, and the warped criminal mind. Well-developed characters whom you care about; surprising twists and turns in the plot; and a "happy" ending. What more could you want?
This has all the ingredients of a page-turner a brilliant psychopath that even a" grandmother would love to see die, a flawed law enforcement officer who is inclined to give grandma what she wants, and the love of a good woman to help him heal. And at the end, all you want to do is find out what happens. The phone rings and you curse the interruption. Your spouse tries to talk to you, and you answer yes to a question you never heard. What fun!
I already love all of her suspense thrillers, so this will be an easy review. I have read alot of Lisa Gardner books, there is a certain system you need to follow in order to read them in order though. They kind of "play off" each other. I love the twisted endings, they hold quite alot of suspense and i have a really hard time putting the books down! I can't wait to get back up and read more! You will love her books if you like thrillers and alot of suspense involved! Give them a try...you won't be disappointed! Have fun!!!
It was ok. One of the reasons I thought I'd really like this book was because I read "Catch Me" and fell in love with the progressive, powerful woman characters in the book. I felt like "Survivor's Club" took some large steps backwards in that regard and was disappointed. I still found it entertaining, though. Made the driving easier at any rate, but I wouldn't have sat down and read the book under normal circumstances.
How on earth can Gardner ever come up with so many twist and turns in a story? It was a little slow in the beginning but necessary to be informed about the characters. After that, I could not put it down. My 's battery would die and I had to wait.
Creepy Complex plot; we'll written but dead children and raped young women made it a depressing read. Not much triumph of the human spirit.
This is the second book I've read by Lisa Gardner and both have been very good. This is the story of three women who've survived brutal attacks/rapes by a man about to go to trial, but after a disturbing prologue about two men planning crimes, the action begins with the arrival of the prisoner at the courthouse and his subsequent murder. The detective on the case is Roan Griffin, a man just back from medical leave after he hurt two officers in attempting to attack a murder suspect. His wife recently dead and his career damaged, Griffin is a tormented and complicated man that you can root for as he gets to know the three women survivors-turned-suspects.

The puzzle is worthwhile and believable and the characters are interesting. This is a good story, though I had some trouble getting started, partly because of the brutality and disturbing nature of the rapes; once we got down to detection and character development, the book moved better for me, and came to a satisfying conclusion.

I look forward to reading others by this author.
