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?
Kritters Thoughts: An amazing thriller that kept me reading through all the twists turns and ups and downs. I didn't anticipate the final result until it unfolded right before my eyes with 20 pages left to go.
There are times when I fall deeply in love with a character, whether they are good or bad, but throughout the entire book I couldn't put my finger on my feelings towards Tessa Leoni. At times, I thought she was conniving and just plain horrible, but at the turn of a page I cared for her deeply and wanted so much for her to be absolutely and purely innocent.
I loved the relationship between the two detectives - D.D. Warren and Bobby Dodge. What a team and you knew from the beginning that these two cared deeply for each other and were the best of coworkers and friends.
A great book that I would absolutely pass onto both the males and females. A suspenseful story that keeps you reading until the last page.

So glad to hear you liked this one! I admit, this one totally fell off my radar but I plan on getting my hands on a copy ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this one and been intrigued by it. I'm not usually a "thriller" fan, but I think I might have to give this one a try. Great review!
ReplyDeleteJenn - I have a copy on loan to someone, but I can bring it along at the next book club.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by Lisa Gardner but that is a goal this year because I love thrillers.
