Love You More by Lisa Gardner
4.0
"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 . . . " (From Amazon)
3 STARS
I am not sure about D.D. being pregnant although her relationship is very interesting. The case was interesting but I felt it lost steam towards the end. Bobby Doge makes an appearance in this one and it is good to see him and D.D. back on a case. I can't wait for the next one! (May 31, 2011)
3.5 STARS
I reread this one in order to catch up on the rest of the Tessa Leoni series. I enjoyed this one on audio so will try to listen to book 2 and 3 on audio as well. After this reading of Love You More I had a greater appreciation for Tessa and liked her character a lot more. I have read the novels after this in which D.D. has the baby and I enjoyed revisiting the moment she found she was pregnant and wanted the baby. (November 14, 2014)
