Tips and Resources From Your Lisa Gardner Book Club Friends:

Lisa Gardner is known for her page-turning psychological thrillers, although she began her career writing romances. Whether it’s Detective DD Warren, the vigilante Flora Dane, Frankie Elkin, Tessa Leoni, or Pierce Quincy and Rainie Conner, Lisa writes strong, complex characters who tackle chilling crimes. Many of her books explore the minds of the detectives and the criminals, adding depth and suspense to her plots. She says, “I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present.” She adds, “What romance taught me was that the ‘who’ will always matter more than the ‘what.’ It’s fun to come up with plots, but I want to make sure the reader cares about who it’s happening to.”
