Great writing style, tricky plot...you won't be able to put it down. This is the story of 3 women (Jillian, Carol & Meg) who were all brutally attacked who formed a "Survivors Club" who helped lead the investigation that captured their attacker. Then another woman is attacked - did they finger the wrong man?
Helpful Score: 5
A chilling story of revenge and betrayal with one of the creepiest villians I've ever read. Murder, mayhem, investigative procedures, it's all good stuff.
Helpful Score: 5
This book was impossible to put down! A great thriller with a plot twist I didn't see coming. Don't read this at night if you're a single female living on your own...every little noise could start to spook you! I recommend this if you're looking for something fun and exciting to read.

The first in this series. I like Gardner's work a lot and this was no exception.

It's said that truth can be stranger than fiction. Lisa Gardner has done a masterful job of weaving fiction on a par with the (true) story of the D.C. Sniper, where motives went much deeper than it appeared. Without ruining the story, I will only say that the plot goes much deeper than what is visible on the surface - three women from very different socio-economic classes joined together in the quest to bring justice to the man they and police believed to be a serial rapist/murderer. Complicating the plot was her development of the lead detective's personal and professional challenges from the past. What I rank as masterful is how Gardner gathers up all the strands of the individual stories and weaves them together into a cohesive unit with a surprise ending that is very well justified.
Brilliant. Just BRILLIANT!

This book is about 3 women affected by rape and murder. They band together to seek justice against the man that committed the crime. It has some twists and turns and keeps the reader interested. I highly recommend it. And after reading it I am seeking other books by the same author.

Three women, three survivors, their lives taken by a rapist, but are there more victims?
Helpful Score: 2
The Survivors Club...that's what Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call it. They won't consider themselves victims. They are survivors. They faced blazing headlines and helped lead the investigation that caught the man who changed their lives forever. And now that Eddie Como, the College Hill rapist, has been murdered, shot down outside a packed courthouse moments before his trial was about to begin, all three women are openly ecstatic that he's dead. They are also the prime suspects in his murder." "Detective Sergeant Roan Griffin knows all too well what can drive even the best people to cross the line. But he has never seen a case quite like this one. No one doubts that the murder of Eddie Como was a professional job, especially when the gunman is killed only blocks away from the shooting." "But questions taunt Griffin: Who ordered the deaths of Eddie Como and his killer? Could three ordinary women have been driven to do the unthinkable? Had someone in the Survivors Club become a killer?" "Griffin seeks the truth - and finds himself confronted with the leader of the Survivors Club. Jillian Hayes is beautiful, successful, cool as ice, and she harbors a pain that mirrors Griffin's own. Did the horror of what happened to her push her over the thin and desperate line that separates survival and revenge? And if it did, could he blame her - or anyone in the Survivors Club?" "Then another woman is brutally attacked." Suddenly, with the city on the ragged edge of panic, gripped in a media and political firestorm of controversy, cover-up, and conspiracy, the hunt is on for a ruthless and cunning killer. For Griffin, this may well be the case that shatters his career. For Jillian, the harrowing nightmare is beginning all over again. Someone is out there. Someone who wants to finish what was started. Someone who wants to make sure that no one survives the Survivors Club.

Lisa Gardner is great! In this book she creates characters that are not only real, but ones the reader can actually care about, from the 3 victims to the detective to the prime supect Eddie. While the survivors seem dependent upon each other for support, there is an underlying need for independance from the group that shows as the story progresses. I did not figure out or even come close to guessing the plot twist at the end. Maybe Ms. Gardner will do another novel featuring Roan Griffin. He was a very interesting detective, dealing with the problems of others and his own personal demons.

Gardner writes some kick ass suspense books that defy gravity. Full of twists, turns, surprises and spine tingling edge of your seat thrills, it's like a roller coaster ride in a book. The pages fly by and before you know it you've been up all night.
Eddie Como has been convicted of the rape of 3 women and the rape and murder of a fourth. The three survivors' have become friends and their own support group which they call The Survivor's Club. On the day of his sentencing Como is murdered during the transfer to jail. And the alleged assassin is killed in a bomb explosion minutes later. Soon thereafter a series of rapes occurs, all appearing to have been committed by the dead man, Eddie Como. Detective Roan Griffin, recently returned from bereavement leave after the death of his wife, is handed the case. Are the three women somehow involved in Como's death? And who is behind the subsequent rapes? The ending is a real nail biter, heart in mouth race to the finish, and well worth the ride.

Fantastic
Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call themselves The Survivor's Club. Each woman survived an attack by the College Hill Rapist. With their help and a lot of DNA evidence, police arrested Eddie Como. But on the day of his trial, Eddie Como is shot down on the courthouse steps. Detective Sergeant Roan Griffin leads the investigation into the slaying. He is looking at the women of the Survivor's Club as the prime suspects in Como's murder. Did one of them take matters into her own hands? When another woman is attacked, Road begins to wonder if Eddie Como was the actual rapist, or did he have an accomplice who is taking up where Eddie left off?
This book started off slow. I was a bit confused by what was happening. But as I got to know all of the characters, it became very interesting and I was hooked. Another great story from Lisa Gardner. My rating: 4 Stars.

Another great book from Lisa Gardner, quick read, you will enjoy it.
Good read.
I really enjoyed this book. I had never read anything by Lisa Gardner before so it was a pleasant surprise. I ordered another book by her immediately after finishing the Survivors Club. I thought the plot, while a little far fetched, was engaging. It definitely kept me guessing until the end.

Her Books or full of suspense ,provocative plotting , great characters fast pace. love them
Great! On the edge of my seat at some moments!
This is one of the BEST books I've ever read. Starts off kinda iffy, the heroine isn't someone I particularly liked at first, but in spite of those things, it was a great read. I've read and enjoyed all her books but this was, by far, the best.
Three women wont consider themselves victims - they are Survivors and help lead the investigation to catch the man who changed their lives forever. I wont tell you more except that you will really enjoy how they do it and the consequences.
Love Lisa Jackson...need I say more!
It was a good one!
This is my third Lisa Gardner book and she continues to provide an exciting ride. It's hard to put her books down because the tension never stops.
Good scary book for a fast read.
Good, fast-paced read.

I tried twice to "get into this book" and just couldn't do it. It sounds like a good book though.

Excellent book! My favorite Lisa Gardner book so far!
Great reading
This was an excellent book, I can't wait to read her others.
My advice for anyone who picks up this book is to stay with it! The story ran a little slow for me in the beginning, even though the storyline was intriguing right away. Several times I thought about just giving up, but Ms. Gardner has written other books I've loved from the beginning. The real twists and turns start in about the last 200 pages of the book, and they are unexpected and almost jaw-dropping. I'm so glad I stayed with it!
Haven't read it, but I enjoy this author usually.
