Publisher's summary

This is my family: Vanished without a trace....

Justin and Libby Denbe have the kind of life you’d find in the pages of a glossy magazine: A beautiful 14-year-old daughter. A gorgeous brownstone on a tree-lined street in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. A great marriage, admired by all. A perfect life.

This is what I know: Pain has a flavor....

When investigator Tessa Leone arrives at the crime scene in the foyer of the Denbes’ home, she finds scuff marks on the floor and a million tiny pieces of bright green Taser confetti. The family appears to have been abducted, with only a pile of their cell phones and electronic devices remaining. No witnesses, no ransom demands, no motive. Just a perfect little family, gone.

This is what I fear: The worst is yet to come....

Tessa knows better than anyone that flawless fronts can hide the darkest secrets. Now she must race against the clock to uncover the Denbes’ innermost dealings, a complex tangle of friendships and betrayal, big business and small sacrifices. Who would want to kidnap such a perfect little family? And how far would such a person be willing to go?

This is the truth: Love, safety, family . . . it’s all touch and go.

great story development

the bad guys are not as bad (sick) as most of Lisa Gardner's. but the story development is deliciously slow and thorough as usual. not her best, but well worth the listen and far better than some other authors.

Touch and Go

Kept me wondering, since I listen in the car while driving, made me want to go for longer drives!

Great book with crazy twists

Lisa Gardner is a genius and this is one of my favorites! There are so many twists and so much betrayal it keeps you guessing and tugs at the heart.

wonderful crime mysyery!

I loved this. Complex and very satisfying! it made me think throughout the book. I will be looking for more from this author. My only criticism is the Boston and NH accents. They are very bad. I would know.

Great listen!

Another great story from Lisa Gardner! While I did figure out the plot quite early, the way she unravels the story never fails to keep me listening.

Couldn't put it down.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I deffinately recommend this book. I usually only listen in my car, but I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Touch & Go?

I think these kind of questions lead to spoiler problems when answered.

Have you listened to any of Elisabeth Rodgers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first one and I will listen to others now.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Riviting till the very end.

Another WOW!

I'm such a fan of Lisa Gardner & this book was exceptional! If you read Love You More, you'll recognize Tessa Leone & know her background. I really liked the strength of Libby in this book, and I'm happy with the continuation of Tessa & Sophie. I kind of suspected who was responsible for the kidnapping, but the twist at the end totally surprised me - I never saw that coming! Awesome book! I didn't want to stop listening - action packed & lots of great twists!

Awesome Story Telling

Excellent reader who kept my attention throughout the entire book. Another great novel by Lisa Gardner. Highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed this book. The narration was excellent!

The plot line on this book was very good. I figured it out about 3/4 of the way thru, but still had enough doubt that I wanted to finish the story to make sure I was right! The narrator did an excellent job with all of the character voices. I will look for her again.

A little disappointed with the end

What made the experience of listening to Touch & Go the most enjoyable?

Loved the narrator and the story is good, but the ending was a little abrupt and unsatisfying
