Autor

Lisa Gardner started her writing career aged seventeen. Having caught her hair on fire while working in food service, crafting a novel seemed a safer bet. A mere ten years later she became an overnight success with the publication of her first thriller, The Perfect Husband.

Now an internationally bestselling author and winner of the International Thriller Writers Award for best suspense novel, Lisa lives in the mountains of New Hampshire with her family.

When not glued to her computer, she can be found hiking the mountains with her dogs and/or researching new and interesting ways to get away with murder.

Rezensionen

Praise for One Step Too Far

It s not often that a thriller so deeply casts us into the darkness of both nature and the human heart. . . . Terrifying, primal, and very, very tense. Read it with your heart in your throat but read it.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Gardner s latest series continues to excel; instinctual, tragedy-driven Frankie is one of crime fiction s most intriguing new sleuths.
Booklist (starred review)

The appeal of Lisa Gardner s second Frankie Elkin mystery lies mainly with the meticulously researched science and lore on surviving in the wilderness--and with the endearingly strange Frankie herself.
The Washington

Post

"Gardner's gripping sequel to 2021's Before She Disappeared . . . winds toward a surprising conclusion."
Publishers Weekly

"An authentic Wyoming setting, a tantalizing mystery, and a Labrador named Daisy. What s not to like?"
C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dark Sky

"Master storyteller and avid hiker Lisa Gardner has written the book she was meant to write, an immersive, propulsive, utterly chilling, and yet deeply moving wilderness thriller in which her intimate knowledge of and love for the rugged Wyoming backcountry shines through on every terrifying page. Without a doubt, the best book I ve read all year.
Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King s Daughter

"And Then There Were None meets Deliverance. Gardner s latest will have you flipping pages at breakneck speed, guessing and gasping."
Linwood Barclay, author of Find You First

You ll root for Frankie (and for a diligent cadaver dog named Daisy) on every page of this tense, crackling read.
People

A hybrid combination of C. J. Box and Nevada Barr at their level best . . . this is thriller writing of the absolute highest order, as great a novel as it is a page-turner.
Providence Journal

Gardner can be counted on to send a shiver down the spine, but this one exceeds even her high standards.
Daily Mail

Beyond brilliant . . . A mix of beautiful prose and ingenious, intense, edgy dialogue . . . Perfect for fans of unputdownable, gritty cat-and-mouse mysteries, compassionate underdog protagonists with self-deprecating senses of humor, ruthless killers, and didn t see it coming, OMG endings.
Library Journal (starred review)

A tour de force in suspense and red herrings with a twist ending I did not even begin to anticipate.
Bookpage (starred review)

Riveting. I enjoyed every bit of One Step Too Far.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

As is her trademark, the thrills grow and the storyline gets more complex as the group goes farther into the wilderness. Gardner has another winning series to keep us up at night.
The Florida Times-Union

Everything you could ask for in a great mystery: secrets, suspense, excellent pace, and great characters.
Mystery and Suspense

One Step Too Far takes us on a harrowing journey into the dark wilderness of the human heart, where fear and desperation reveal exactly who we are.

A page turner from the beginning . . . This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it.

I didn t want it to end.
