    About this audiobook

    My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due to a genetic condition, I can’t feel pain. I never have. I never will.

    The last thing Boston Detective D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear…. She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work.

    My sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman.

    Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from a previous crime scene: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D. D. Warren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.

    Our father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about my father he shouldn’t. My sister claims she can help catch him. I think just because I can’t feel pain doesn’t mean my family can’t hurt me.

    D.D. may not be back on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose Killer isn’t just targeting lone women, he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down:

    Fear nothing.

      Another AMAZING D.D. Warren title! On to the next one!!
    • 2/5
      Disappointing. Slow moving story, ridiculous ending. Previous book in the series was so much better
    • 3/5
      I read this as it was highly recommended to me, but as one who more enjoys the historical fiction genre, I found this a bit too gruesome and gorey for me. It is packed with action and it was filled with suspense to the very end.
    • 5/5
      I love Lisa Gardner, and once again this book keeps you on your toes. When you think you have it figured out, your turn the page to realize you don’t!
    • 5/5
      Gardner grabs the reader from the first line of the prologue and does not let go. Fear Nothing is absolutely brilliant and a book I could not put down. For anyone who loves exceptionally well written suspense mysteries, pick a copy of Fear Nothing by Lisa Gardner.
    • 5/5
      I read this 2014 rendering of Lisa Gardner's D.D. Warren series novel over the course of about three days. Hadn't read Gardner for awhile but I have much of what she's written in my personal library and just added this one to the collection. Around Chapter 17--about page 175--I was tempted to put the book aside--maybe read later, maybe not. But I didn't put it aside and I'm glad I didn't listen to that little voice because he can be wrong, but not usually. This time he was. The back and forth, "main" character leading chapter then switch to another "important" character leading next chapter (something I don't normally like in a novel) did it's job in the long run--for I discovered that if you are to understand the story you must seriously understand much about the the characters, D.D., Alex, Phil, and Shana, and most of all Adeline. Well done. Good read. It goes on the shelf--not in the find it a new home bag.
    • 5/5
      Lisa Gardner is definitely one of the best ever crime novelist!!
    • 3/5
      Kept my interest and definitely worth a read. Narration was good which makes or breaks an audio story.
    • 5/5
      Life of the children of a serial killer even after the killer is done ans past the resonates of the arts still lives on.
    • 5/5
      This is Gardner at her best! Suspenseful and exciting to the end.

      4.5⭐
      אם שמת לב , לאחרונה אני נופלת על ספרים בינוניים ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️
      אז החלטתי לחזור לסופרת שכמעט תמיד עושה לי נחת ליסה גרדנר ❤️
      וגם בספר הזה היא לא אכזבה
      הוא היה אכזרי, מעניין, מותח ולא צפוי ?

      אני לגמרי מאוהבת בסופרת הזאת ?
      מי שעוד לא קרא ספרים שלה זה הזמן ❤️
    • 5/5
      This was an absolute marvel of a book. Incredible, really. Just the right amount of confusion and suspense with a thrilling (and a little sad) ending. Well done! Love this series!
    • 5/5
      I loved this, from start to finish. It is an intriguing story.
    • 5/5
      Once again, Lisa Gardner amazes me. I am thrilled to start another book again from her.
    • 5/5
      A riveting story - with many twists and turns. Warning - it contains violence. Another well-written psychological thriller, by Lisa Gardner. This one, while part of a series involving Detective DD Warren, can stand alone. In other words, you can read this before any of the other books in the series, without knowing the regular characters. It's exceptional, in my opinion. Lisa Gardner forces us to reflect on the fact that even while people can rightfully belong in prison & have seemingly no redeemable qualities, it's important to recognize they ARE human & not simply a statistic. This is one of the darker of this series (though I haven't read all of them yet) - and might not be bedtime reading, depending upon your tolerance.
    • 5/5
      I don't think I have ever given a book five stars before!! This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it. Spell binding yet rather gruesome in content at times. And the ending really was a HUGE surprise. Fantastic!!!
    • 4/5
      This was a good one. I really enjoyed Dr. Glen's character. Shame she had to go in the end I would have liked to see her in future novels in the series. 4.4 Nice one!
    • 4/5
      Lisa Gardner's books featuring DD Warren are always entertaining and interesting and this one was no exception. DD is injured when this book begins and she has to deal with a murdering while on limited duty. A good read.
    • 3/5
      Lisa Gardner is a superb author. I enjoy the DD Warren series very much. This book was based on an interesting “feel no pain” premise, but sadly I did not feel much in terms of pathos for any of the characters this time around. I also felt dissatisfied by the resolution, wondering if Lisa had settled on a convenient killer rather than plotting toward the perfect killer and then deciding she might fare better as a recurring series character, would love to know. Nonetheless, I look forward to the next book.
    • 4/5
      Great mystery and had an unexpected ending. I've read one other D.D. Warren book before and enjoyed it as well so I'll probably read more! I love that they can be read as stand alones as well!
    • 3/5
      A rare recessive genetic freak of nature Dr Adeline Glen not only had the inability to feel physical pain she was also the product of a psychopathic torturer/serial killer. Unusual suspects, Great suspense. The book is written from three POV's - Dr Adeline Glen, Detective D.D. Warren and the killer. The killer wasn't revealed until the end; the routes we traveled to get there were twisty.

      Another great audiobook by Lisa Gardner! Detective D.D. Warren is checking a crime scene when someone pushes her down a flight of stairs seriously damaging her shoulder. Even though she's on leave and going through painful physical therapy, she can't stay away from this case. Someone is killing women and the M.O. is very much like that of a serial killer that's been dead for decades. His two daughters, though are not. One is in prison for murdering a young boy when she was a teenager, and the other is a well respected psychologist who is unable to feel pain. Another great read, although not for the faint of heart!
    • 4/5
      A rare recessive genetic freak of nature Dr Adeline Glen not only had the inability to feel physical pain she was also the product of a psychopathic torturer/serial killer who taught her older sister that pain/blood equates love. Shana, the older sister, learned this lesson far too well and has racked up murders outside and even inside prison walls. Police detective sergeant D.D. Warren and her team are investigating a ritualistic serial killer who is obtaining layers of skin as a trophy the same MO as Adeline and Shana's own dear dead daddy did 40 years before. D.D.'s and Adeline's fates intersect when D.D. came to close to the current serial killer and sustained horrific muscle and tendon injuries.

      What is particularly fascinating about Lisa Gardner’s novels is her sweeping portrayal of her characters who are totally different from each other. Think of the main protagonist, and other characters like Adeline and Shana – they are poles apart. Fear Nothing has a serial killer who removes people’s skin and a woman prisoner who is a psychopath. If you loved her earlier books, you will love this one too.

      Detective D. D. Warren comes to see Adeline Glen, a pain management specialist, after suffering a debilitating injury while investigating a crime scene. Despite being temporarily off duty as a result of her injuries, D. D. is hot on the trail of the Rose Killer, a serial murderer terrorizing the city. Adeline Glen and her sister, Shana, are the daughters of a serial killer, a monster who murdered eight prostitutes. Adeline, adopted by a researcher, seems to have survived her early days, but Shana, convicted of killing a boy when she was only fourteen, would seem to have embraced her father’s evil, and has been sentenced to life in prison. But D. D. finds herself a target of the serial killer and may have to put her trust in Adeline’s sister because Shana claims she can help capture the Rose Killer.The revelation of long-held secrets and unexpected twists and turns work together to weave a riveting plot while well-developed characters and ever-building suspense will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final page is turned.Highly recommended.

Because the Rose Killer isn’t just targeting lone women; he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down

      Wow, great psychological thriller! A co-worker was reading it and offered me the book when she finished. I couldn't put it down and read it in two sittings. It captured me from the first page. I was going crazy trying to figure it out, lol. I'm going to check out other books by this author for sure.
    • 5/5
      Lisa Gardner does it again with a gripping thriller that is un-put-downable. The seventh in Gardner's D.D. Warren series, "Fear Nothing" has D.D. on the case but severely limited by a physical injury, the details of which she can't remember. The mystery builds, details slowly become available, and D.D. gets closer and closer to the truth behind a series of murders. In the meantime, other plot elements that seem only peripherally related to the main case reveal themselves to be much closer to the heart of things. In typical Gardner fashion, the plot elements are deftly interwoven, the truth closing in with nail-biting tension and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in two sittings. I'm looking forward to the next D.D. Warren novel!
