Synopsis

Bill Corde looks down at the face of the murdered girl and sees the horror of sudden death. He cannot know, as he stands there at the trampled, muddy scene beside the college girl's corpse, that his own life is about to slip into terror. He cannot know that everything he holds precious is about to shatter before his eyes. He cannot know that his career—and his family—are about to enter a new dimension of danger.

For Bill Corde, the killer is everything he fears most. For Sarah, Bill's wild, learning-impaired daughter, trapped in a world of frustration and ridicule, he may be just the person she's been waiting for. Someone who understands her worries and loneliness. Someone who signs his notes "The Sunshine Man." Someone she can run away with—even a perfect stranger.

I think Deaver himself said once that everybody can learn to write; by sticking to a certain genre formula any plot could be turned into a swell thriller. Well, with that (poss......more

Goodreads review by Ahmad on May 28, 2020

Was gonna give this a 4.5 due to the slow start the book had and the wayyyy too many characters at the beginning but what made it a 5 star book for me was the plot twist within the plot twist, from halfway through the book I’m led on to believe its Ben and that it was your classical plot twist but n......more

Goodreads review by Pawan on December 26, 2016

I was really disappointed by 'The Girl on the Train' and saw "The Lesson of her death" on the rack. "Another murder mystery" I thought but picked it up nevertheless, as it was by Jeffery Deaver and I was not wrong with the expectations that I had. From page one, Mr Deaver forces you to break your thin......more

Goodreads review by Dodol on November 29, 2011

An okay book, if lacking some of Deaver's qualities in the other books. Too many twists and turns, as if the author had a bet with a friend or something. It starts a little slow and picks up the pace about two third in. A local deputy sheriff larger than the small town he lives in, Bill Corde picks u......more
