"Never Tell" by Lisa Gardner

Never Tell by Lisa Gardner is about Evie and her family of secrets. Coming from a very wealthy family whose father was a mathematical genius, Evie at 16 took the blame for accidentally shooting her father while cleaning his shot gun to save the family embarrassment of his suicide. Now, recently pregnant, she faces murder charges for killing her husband, Conrad. Poor Evie! She did not kill her husband, but then the question is who did? She did shoot up his computer because of what she saw on the screen from the dark web when she found him dead in his chair with his gun in his lap. Not only that, but then her house is burned down to the ground the very next day! Her mother takes her in after posting bail, but Evie thinks her mom hates her. Evie really freaks out when she begins learning about her husband’s dark secrets and wonders if she knew him at all! Is he really a predator or a hero?

This is quite the murder mystery with lies, arson, secrets, betrayal and lots of detective work. My favorite character was Flora, a survivor of an abduction who assists Detective D.D. Warren in solving the case and comes to Evie’s rescue. I liked this book because I got into it right away from page 1 and liked how it unfolded. I liked how the author handled the darkness in this story without a lot of gore. I dare you to read this one without feeling bad for Evie!
