Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Come Home comes a riveting thriller about one man's search for his wife's killer.

When Dr. Mike Scanlon is called to serve as an army doctor in Afghanistan, he’s acutely aware of the dangers he’ll face and the hardships it will bring his wife, Chloe, and their newborn baby. And deep inside, he doesn’t think of himself as a hero, but a healer.

However, in an ironic turn of events, as Mike operates on a wounded soldier in a war-torn country, Chloe dies at home in the suburbs, in an apparently freak household accident. Devastated, he returns home to bury her, only to discover that the life he left behind has fallen apart. He’s a stranger to his baby girl, and his medical practice has downsized in his absence. Worse, he learns a shocking secret that sends him into a downward spiral.

Grief-stricken, Mike makes decisions upon returning to Afghanistan which will change his life forever. It’s not until he comes home for good that he grasps the gravity of his actions, and realizes he must fight the most important battle of his life, to reclaim his life and his daughter. Along the way, he discovers that everything is not as it seems, and he learns ugly truths about those he loves the most, as well as the true meaning of heroism.

Stubborn Mike

I enjoyed this book & the surprises. I tried to help Mike make a few decisions, but he wouldn't listen, ha.
good ending, easy to read into story about his love for Stephenie.

great book

I really enjoyed listening to this book and would recommend it highly thank you!! peace

Think I expected something different

I have never read a book by Lisa Scottoline before. This one sounded as though it would be a good, even poignant-sounding story. Began listening eagerly, then noticed that while the premise of a soldier coming home to his wife's funeral after her unexpected death, even with some elements of mystery involved, sounded enticingly good, it, well...wasn't. At least not my cup of tea.

I've surely listened to worse, but it felt flat somehow. The narration bothered me, but Jeremy Davidson could not create a better reading than the book itself allowed. This is undoubtedly as much a matter of my listening taste as anything else. I rather imagine others will like it better, but I found it to be a disappointment. I found it hard to listen to. Kept waiting for it to improve, but it didn't. It should have been good. All the elements were there; somehow it simply did not click for me. Writing too simplistic, too dry, even though the plot line had a lot of promise. Just my opinion though.

This is a good listen

Any additional comments?

The ending was a little too "precious" for my taste, although it was the only one most readers would accept. The book kept me alternately pissed off at the hero and sympathizing with him. Some good twists and turns.

Nice Read

I really liked this story and thought I had it figured out a few times only to be proven wrong. I think the ending was rushed, but overall I really liked the book and the story.

So so so good!!

I’ve loved Lisa Scottoline since the very first book I listened to. What a great story!!

It fooled me...in a good way

Would you consider the audio edition of Don't Go to be better than the print version?

Yes, I would it kept me going until early in the morning...

What did you like best about this story?

I was sure I knew who the killer was boy was I wrong

Which character – as performed by Jeremy Davidson – was your favorite?

Mike

Any additional comments?

I was so involved with this book, as it progressed I was shouting at the kindle on what to do I was ready to write a note to the author I was so mad...thought it was predictable but it was not. I love mysteries and I can usually figure out who the killer is and what will happen next. Lisa Scottoline really surprised me with this one.. If you love mysteries this book is for you.

A Good Read

This is the 2nd time I have listened to this book, and I liked it even more this time. There were times, however, that I was really disgusted at Mike's actions and even gave him.my advice...not that he listened! I was happy that things ended the way they did.

Twists, Turns and just when you got it..

I loved this book. Just when you thought you figured something out, it takes a turn. This book kept my attention and I couldn’t wait to go walking just so I could listen.
The reader did a great job narrating the story as well. It wasn’t too cheesy sounding. I would read it again for sure.

Predictable

This story dragged in until it was obvious long before the ending. Rambled for no good reason.
