Lisa Gardner's Frankie Elkin: Searching for the forgotten ones
I am yet to review on my blog any of the books by American crime author, Lisa Gardner, as it's been a while since I've read one of her titles. I'm a huge fan of her books and have read pretty much all of them. That is no mean feat as Gardner is a prolific writer.
