Live to Tell — Lisa Gardner

On a warm summer night, in a working-class neighborhood, four family members are brutally murdered. The father -- and possible suspect -- clings to life in the ICU. Murder-suicide? Or something worse? Veteran police detective D. D. Warren is certain of only one thing: There's more to this case than meets the eye.

Danielle Burton is not only a dedicated nurse at a locked-down pediatric psych ward but the haunted survivor of a shattered life. Meanwhile, devoted mother Victoria Oliver will do anything to ensure that her troubled son has some semblance of a childhood.

The lives of these three women connect in unexpected ways, as sins from the past emerge and stunning secrets reveal just how tightly blood ties can bind.
