Love You More

Love You More - Lisa Gardner

One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a troopers mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened. She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be made to pay.

Well, well, well. Lucky this reader remembered about Detective D. D. Love this character. Love the new Tessa Leoni, too! The only bummer was I read this one book late, and mucked up the order, but no biggie. A 9 month time lapse to be precise!The demure looking Lisa Gardner donned in twin set and jeans that we see on the back cover of her books, is a pretty version of a killer writer. What I mean is she looks so straight laced but what she delivers on the page is crazy kick-ass, for want of a better word.Im going to pepper in many quotes here, in the hopes that it might encourage some more readers to go and grab it. This is D. D, all over. Oh, fuck you, D.D told him crossly. She straightened, more discomfited by praise than she was ever riled by criticism. Another perfect summation I couldnt imagine Detective Warren ever tolerating domestic abuse. If a man hit her, I bet shed hit back twice as hard. Or taser him in the balls. Its true! The good detective did have a way of cutting to the heart of the matter.As for the new character weve been reading about with terror in this book, a State Trooper by the name of Tessa Leonie Reprimand delivered, I gave in to the past ten minutes of terror, scooped her back into my arms, and held her tight. Dont scare Mommy like that, I whispered against the top of her head. Seriously, Sophie. I love you. I never want to lose you. You are my Sophie.I like this authors writing, she has a way of getting to you the way D. D has of getting to the heart of the matter in Boston. When you buried your child, was it like imparting your greatest treasure into the sanctity of nature? Or was it like hiding your greatest sin, instinctively seeking out the darkest bowels of the forest to cover your crime?Also love the character of Bobby Dodge and their kiss. The crux of the matter here is, read this author, series whether it be D. D. or Tessa Leoni. Youre on a winner.
