Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash's older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: they are all experts on monsters.

Is he a killer?

Then the call comes in. A double-murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: the shooter may very well be Sharlah's older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun.

All she knows for sure: he's back.

As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah's big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: is her brother a hero, or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you.

SECRETS FROM THE PAST....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters.

Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah’s older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun.

As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah’s big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you.

My Thoughts: The reader is led through Right Behind You You by a series of narrators, alternating between Rainie, Quincy, Shelly, and others…and in between those comes the italicized narrative of Telly Ray Nash.

We think we know what happened…and we are just wondering why it happened after all these years. And why would Telly kill the Duvalls, his very loving foster parents? What could have led him to kill apparent strangers in a gas station? Can a young man who has protected his sister morph into a mass killer? What do these killings tell us, and, if the killer is not Telly, then who? What secrets were Frank and Sandra Duvall keeping, and how does Sandra’s past figure into what is happening?

The characters felt real, with Quincy, a former FBI profiler, front and center in the search, and his wife Rainey, who was also involved, worked to keep Sharlah balanced as emotions ran high. Sheriff Shelly Atkins showed us that “small town sheriff” did not define her: she had skills, and her ability to stay calm in the face of the intense actions made her a great part of the team.

The story kept me engaged throughout, although the numerous processes involved in tracking the killer became tedious after a while. But then I perked up as we began to realize that many things did not add up, and that now there were more questions than answers. As the clues led us to the final reveal, I was on the edge of my seat. Definitely 5 stars for me.

I really enjoyed the characters and felt connected to them. I love to read about Quincy and Rainey and their different journeys. I wanted so badly for Sharla and Telly to be a family again and kept turning the pages to see if that would happen. I recommend this book!

another great thriller, latest in the FBI Profiler series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Lisa Gardner is a magnificent writer and prolific. She has three active thriller series. This is the latest of her FBI Profiler series. In the acknowledgments the author says this series had been fairly inactive but when she polled social media this was the one people wanted.

As usual the writing is phenomenal. The reader is hooked from the first chapter, and chapters jump between a number of interesting characters, so you're always sorry to see one go but glad to see the next one. I've read a number of Gardner's thrillers/mysteries and I don't think I've ever been disappointed.

Quincy and Rainie, both retired profilers who still consult, have a foster daughter who is a lot like them -- kind of antisocial and very quiet. Eight years ago Sharlah's older brother killed their parents when the addicts got rough with each other and things got out of hand. Now it seems he's on a murder spree and looking for his sister. Can the profilers keep Sharlah safe, and catch her brother before he finds her?

The pace never lets up and the story is interesting. The book is filled with fascinating, authentic characters.

The book works as a standalone but as usual you get more enjoyment if you read them in order. The FBI Profiler series is: The Perfect Husband, The Third Victim, The Next Accident, Killing Hour, Gone, Say Goodbye and Right Behind You.

Plenty of twists and turns!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Right Behind You is a great follow-up thriller by Lisa Gardner. Not quite as dark at the others, but still dark enough. In this, FBI profilers Quincy & Raine try to piece together the past abuse suffered by their thirteen-year-old foster daughter, Sharlah. Her brother Telly has not been seen for many years and whose past is so bleak, I couldn’t help feeling wound up and totally wrung out. On the run and wanted for questioning, there’s an underlying menace and nightmarish melancholy you would expect from a book like this, especially when the main goal for Quincy and Raine is to keep Sharlah safe.

What I liked about it was the deep and meaningful characters we have come to expect in Gardner’s novels. Sheriff Atkins was my favorite in this one. Authentic backstory, much of which is narrated from Telly’s point of view, reads in a fast and furious pace which is impossible to put down. Told in alternating viewpoints, the story created enough suspense for me to read it in two days - afternoon and evening of the first day and morning of the second - leaving an after flavor I didn’t expect.

The research, as always, is excellent, although I did feel some of it weighed down the plot for me. I’m referring to the gun chapters involving Telly and Frank, and some of the descriptions of criminal personalities and tracking. I could have done with less of the processes which, although perfect for the setting were a little long-winded.

Overall, the writing is first rate. Characters are complex, plot was riveting and extremely compelling with its backstory of childhood abuse, foster care, trauma and corruption.

Although this book is part of a series, you won’t need to read the previous books to enjoy this one. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you up all night.

Gripping, clever and with excellent characterisation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 29, 2017

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase

In a note at the end of this novel the author says that she asked readers what character(s) she should include in her next novel and that she was surprised when they voted heavily for Quincy and Rainie who were the main characters in some of her earlier novels. I am not remotely surprised about this as I too had hoped that she would revisit this pairing because, having read all the novels in which they feature, I was invested in their lives and happiness. I am so pleased that she featured them in this excellent novel and fans will be delighted - I am pretty sure that readers new to the characters will have no problem following this novel as all her stories are stand-alone but the fans just get that extra enjoyment in seeing how things have evolved since previous books.

Quincy and Rainie are ex-law enforcement and now act as consultants to those who need their profiling expertise. They are called in by a local sheriff to assist following a murder and discover in the process that the main suspect is the brother of the girl that they are planning to adopt and who was responsible for beating to death his parents some years before. What follows is an investigation and a man hunt where the investigators are following the clues to find Telly and discover why he has done what he has done. Of course, it is not straightforward and the author includes Sharlah's point of view and that of other characters to round it out. There are some nice twists, at least one of which I didn't anticipate, and the author writes intelligently about children who have experienced trauma - she doesn't fall into the "just love them and everything will be all right" trap.

I was gripped by this book from the beginning and the author held my attention to the end. It has clever plotting but the characterisation is what makes it exceptional for me. One very, very minor quibble - would a computer in a law enforcement office really not have some sort of password protection so that anyone left in the room could use it ?

This is excellent reading and I highly recommend it and all the books featuring these characters. I would also like to suggest that the author includes Quincy's daughter Kimberley in the next book she writes as we've missed her too !

7 of the best books ive read so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I simply can't wait for the next book. What I !over best about these books is the life story of Quincy Profiler and Raine Detective, from book one from when they 1st meet, to this last book its just amazimg to have the same characters you know and their lives moving on in each book - but then you have the added extra of a new crime for them to solve, and believe me, none of the investigations are quite and easy. This is definitely a set of books that need to be read in order, you won't be disappointed by any means, apart from when u get too thew end of the 7th book. A must read for anyone who likes detective books. Never once did j figure out who 'done' it, as each story has a little twist in each. Best authour I've come across in my 20 years of Reading xxx

Gardner does it again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

Lisa Gardner has manged to avoid falling into the rut of the same story lines with different characters. The books remain fresh and inventive. This one is so full of suspense that you won't want to put the book down. There are a host of perspectives that keep you interested throughout, and relatable to all families out there. A must read by Lisa Gardner, though all of her books are far too enticing to ever miss a new release.

A secret bond after a shocking attack reunited???

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This story starts off with a shock intro from the past, those events made these two main characters separated and into different families. A recent shooting goes towards one of those members but could it be possible? A mystery full of twists and turns, I found it exciting and never wanted to put down. Excellent story 😃😃

Repetitive

I can't agree with any of the good reviews. I read a lot,, but this so, so slow, drawn out and oh so repetitive. The story was far fetched but that wasn't the worst issue. Just, half the words would have told it.
