Thebestselling author of Hide and Gone draws us into the venomous mind games of a terrifying killer.

Come into my parlor . . .

For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true—but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.

Said the spider to the fly . . .

As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren’t exactly Kimberly’s specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant—she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work.

And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it’s all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder . . . or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.

Kimberly’s caught in a web more lethal than any spider’s, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she’s trapped. What she doesn’t know is that she’s close—too close—to a psychopath who makes women’ s nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won’t be long before it’ s time for Kimberly to . . .

What the critics say

"Just when you thought Lisa Gardner couldn't get any better ... she does. Say Goodbye is a stunning, chilling, up-all-night thriller that will leave you shaken."—Lee Child

“A spider-obsessed killer is hunting Atlanta prostitutes…. He’s seriously scary and the flashbacks to his abusive past achieve a ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity.”—Entertainment Weekly

" Haunting.... Gardner has consistently delivered entertaining and suspenseful novels in recent years, but she's gone one better with Say Goodbye, perhaps her best book yet."—Chicago Sun-Times

“Should have a warning label: ‘Read only in a well-lit room that has first been thoroughly checked for spiderwebs.’ Then, you can settle back and get caught up in a story that is truly a stunner of a suspense novel.”–Tulsa World

“Gardner continue[s] to write fascinating, dark characters…. [She] surprises you right up until the end.”–Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star

“For all readers who likes their thrillers suspenseful, fast paced, and just a little creepy (OK, a lot creepy).”—Booklist

"Lock the doors before you open this book, and hope that the only web being woven around you is Lisa Gardner’s mesmerizing story."—Tess Gerritsen

“Engaging if highly disturbing.”—Publishers Weekly

Wow! I couldn’t stop listening! Lisa Gardner actually pulls you into this novel in such a unique and intelligent way. Detailing the stalking and killing characteristics of spiders, which actually draws you into the tangled web and psyche of a serial killer. Brilliantly creepy!!

Captivating and well written.

Very well written, kept me wanting to keep listening. An eye opener of the awful things that happen to young children, so sad for them. A great ending to this story with the victim getting satisfaction in the end. He made a difference.

Very interesting story

I persisted in reading “Say Goodbye” because of the calibre of Lisa Gardner’s previous books (all of which I rated as 5 stars). “Say Goodbye”, however, was very disappointing - often confusing (attributable to both storyline and production itself); incohesive at times; and way too much detail about spiders (combined with unnecessary literary references about spiders. I’m short, this is a terrible book, not because of the storyline but because of its execution. I hated it.

Disappointing
