The Forgotten

A Decker/Lazarus Novel

By: Faye Kellerman

Narrated by: Mitchell Greenberg

Rina Lazarus and her husband, LAPD Homicide Lieutenant Peter Decker, are shocked by an outrage that cuts close to the spiritual heart of their family. Rina's small storefront synagogue has been desecrated with anti-Semitic graffiti and grisly Nazi death camp photographs. The alleged perpetrator is seventeen-year-old Ernesto Golding, a ""rich kid"" obsessed with haunting suspicions about the origins of his Polish paternal grandfather. Then Ernesto is found brutally murdered, along with his therapist, Dr. Mervin Baldwin, at an exclusive nature camp that caters moneyed, troubled children. For Decker and his wife, unraveling the truth behind Ernesto's violent death becomes more terrifying with each sinister twist. For lethal secrets with roots in the horrors of a past genteration are coming to the surface, propelling Peter and Rina into a ghastly world of ruthless parents and damaged youth -- and toward a dark evil and its ultimate retribution.

Great Series

Would you consider the audio edition of The Forgotten to be better than the print version?

I prefer the audio since my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and I can listen while I work. that's a big PLUS for me. This is a good series.

Good Overall

What did you love best about The Forgotten?

Almost the entire book. I was a little disappointed with a part of the ending even though the ending was good. I won't say which part.

Any additional comments?

I do recommend this book. The auther is one of my favorites.

Another Winner

All of the outstanding Decker/Lazarus features are present: great characters, a complex plot, excitement. Rina’s compassion is especially heartwarming. Jacob is fascinating in this book. I give my usual kudos to Mitch Greenberg for the narration.

Another Great book

Another great book by Faye Kellerman am going to download the next one in the series

Another Decker/Lazarus winner.

I enjoyed the storyline that included the relationship between Decker and teenage Jacob. Additionally, how it weaved a tale that connected characters with the holocaust and historical family secrets.
