Kiss Her Goodbye is the fourth book in the Frankie Elkins series by Lisa Gardner. OH MY! Prepare to be exhausted, because putting down this book is very very hard! The book is written in two voices: One being Frankie and one being Sabera and her early life in Afghanistan. Reading about the fall of Kabul and living in a refugee camp in Sabera’s voice can be difficult.
Frankie is in Tucson, Arizona trying to find a missing person named Sabera Ahmadi, an Afghan refugee. Finding a place to live meanwhile is difficult, but she finds a job house sitting with reptiles in a mansion with two other “misfits”. (The reptiles were anacondas and a very large iguana.) The storyline is complicated and seriously twisted in places. The life of a Afghani woman with the fall of Kabul and later as an inhabitant of a refugee camp really opened my eyes to how difficult their world was. Frankie had to follow the clues that seemed to make no sense, but all seem to add up to a huge secret that Sabrina knew and other people wanted.
Lisa Gardner’s newest book, Kiss Her Goodbye, is a mystery and thriller with spies, secrets and family. Frankie is determined to find her way through the mystery. The book is well written and well paced. Kiss Her Goodbye is a great read.
