Review:
"A nail-biting, nuanced whodunit." --People "Intriguing, downright frightening. . . . [It] will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last sentence." --Las Vegas Review-Journal "A thrilling story that affects complicated and nuanced people. . . . Fragile delivers everything that Lisa Unger's readers have come to expect." --Laura Lippman, author of I'd Know You Anywhere "Unger keeps the energy level high . . . [and] the tension taut." --Sun Sentinel "If you're a fan of Jodi Picoult's family chronicle storytelling, you'll enjoy Fragile, too. . . . Unger balances nicely the suspense of her missing person story . . . with deeper sentiments." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"In the style of Jodi Picoult, Fragile tells its tale through the real-time action and freighted recollections of a diverse cast of characters." --Boston Globe "All of Unger's characters in Fragile are keeping secrets, some of them truly dangerous. The ending is gripping, almost painful to read." --Fredericksburg Freelance Star
"Unger skillfully builds suspense. . . . Much of the emotional weight and considerable tension of Fragile have to do with families." --St. Petersburg Times "[An] entertaining and extremely readable mystery." --Florida Times-Union "Lisa Unger brings this little town alive with flourish. . . . [She] has a rare talent for exploring the vast pallet of human emotions, and she wraps that talent around a highly intriguing story." --Bookreporter.com "Unger specializes in thrillers involving family life, and she steps back from her suspense roots this time to tell a slow, simmering, tragic tale. Fans of authors like Jodi Picoult will want to read this one in a nice comfortable chair." --Associated Press
