Publisher's summary

WHO DO YOU LOVE?

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?

AND HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO . . .

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 trooper’s mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?

. . . TO SAVE HER?

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.

Love you more . . .

Critic reviews

"This book had me at the author’s name. Lisa Gardner…no one owns this corner of the genre the way she does - And Love You More might be her best ever." (Lee Child)

"Tessa Leoni is a dedicated single mom when she is swept away by a man who turns out to be the wrong guy. Emotionally true, harrowing, and unputdownable. Brava, Lisa Gardner!" (Lisa Scottoline)

"A heart-pounding tale of family drama by the Mozart of thriller writers. I could not tear myself away." (Tess Gerritsen)

Loved it

This was the first Lisa Garner book that I have read, but it will not be my last. The action started right away and kept going throughout the book. A lot of twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out, another twist to the plot. I can't wait to get her next book.

Exciting Listening

Plot twist, need of a mother to find her daughter. I felt I was there trying to assist the dectives.

The Best Yet!

This book is wonderful. So much not said until the right moment. When you think it's over, it's just starting. Amazingly entertaining. A must listen to or read.

It was not one of the best in the series

With all the others I couldn't wait to get back to the book, with this I had a hard time finishing. I never connected with the characters.

Once you get into it...

Since this was my first time with a Lisa Gardner book, I wasn't familiar with the maine female detective character. It was a bit confusing going back and forth between the 2 female characters. One was a detective and one was a state patrol officer - so they seemed a bit similar when listening instead of reading which character was which. Once the story really started though, it was very captivating. Great food for thought and story line. I would definitely recommend.

Addictive!!!!

This is the very first Lisa Gardner book I've listened to and have become a big fan! Her plot and twists throughout the book kept me wanting to hear more and more. The narrators did an excellent job of portraying the characters in the storyline as well. I recommend this book!!! You will not regret it!

A must listen

A top notch thriller with a narrator(s) that is excellent. You will not be disappointed!!

Great Listen

Great narration. If you like stories about strong women who get underestimated and not afraid to do what it takes then this is the book for you.

I could not stop listening!
