The truth did not always set you free. Sometimes it bound you to dark, bloody deeds and cost you the people you loved.

Melanie Stoke had been abandoned as a child at City General Hospital with no memory of where she came from. She had been adopted by the rich parents whom she loved. The real daughter of Stokeses, Meagan was murdered before Melanie arrived by a serial killer, Russell Lee. He was sentenced to death for kidnapping, torturing and murdering other six small children.
After twenty-five years, Melanie suddenly has a sense of dejavu, a black void, and voices. Someone who knows what happened to the family got a tip from an anonymous caller saying that she was Russell's daughter and there are a lot of unanswered questions about the death of Meagen.
I am pretty confident that these promising premises could fulfil my expectations. For me, the disappointment of the romance dynamic between the characters itself became an unnecessary element of the story. However, nothing about these characters is to be trusted and I have to go through their 'messy' lives. The Other Daughter was originally published in 1999. I cannot believe it is the first time I've read anything by Lisa Gardner. Somehow, this is my crime fiction explorations and still kept my interest.
