Lisa Gardner writes crime novels and thrillers. She has written several romance novels under the pseudonym Alicia Scott, but I have not read any of those so cannot comment on them. However, I have read most of her thrillers and crime novels and they are excellent! She writes two series and several individual novels.
FBI Profiler series (Quincy and Connor)
Of the two series she writes, my favorite is the one with Pierce Quincy and Rainie Connor. Quincy is a former FBI profiler that now works as a private detective. Connor is a police officer who lives and works in Oregon. Quincy’s daughter Kimberly is a rookie FBI agent who shows up later in the series. The dynamic between the characters is very interesting and keeps you coming back for more. The cases keep you on the edge of your seat and are downright scary at times. Thriller best describes these.
D.D. Warren series
This series is about a Boston homicide detective D.D. Warren. She teams up with a police sniper named Bobby Dodge. I like these books a lot but to be honest, I can’t stand the character of D.D. Warren. I just don’t like her personality. However, the books and the cases are great. I find it strange that I like the series when I don’t like the main character but that’s the way it worked out. I think it’s a testament to the skill of the author.
Individual Novels
I liked all of her individual novels. However, my favorite is The Survivors Club. It’s about three women who were victims of a serial rapist and formed a club. After he (the rapist) is killed, before his trial begins, the rapes start again. She is incredibly creative with her storyline and it’s one of those keep reading no matter what time it is to find out what happens type of books.
Below is a list of her books that I have mentioned in this article. I did not include the romance novels on this list. Enjoy!
