Commentary Supposing Books Touch & Go (Tessa Leoni #2)
#1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner, author of Catch Me and Love You More, returns with a heart-thumping thriller about what lurks behind the facade of a perfect family.This is my family: Vanished without a trace…
Justin and Libby Denbe have the kind of life that looks good in the pages of a glossy magazine. A beautiful fifteen-year old daughter, Ashlyn. A gorgeous brownstone on a tree-lined street in Boston’s elite Back Bay neighborhood. A great marriage, admired by friends and family. A perfect life.
This is what I know: Pain has a flavor…
When investigator Tessa Leoni arrives at the crime scene in the Denbes’ home, she finds scuff marks on the floor and Taser confetti in the foyer. The family appears to have been abducted, with only a pile of their most personal possessions remaining behind. No witnesses, no ransom demands, no motive. Just an entire family, vanished without a trace.
This is what I fear: The worst is yet to come…
Tessa knows better than anyone that even the most perfect façades 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 is all touch and go.

Another great book by the infamous Lisa Gardner. It is no secret that I'm a fan of Gardner's. She always manages to keep the suspense at a high level and the unforseen twists coming until the last page. Even though I knew whodunit as I read this book, I was unsure of the motivation and that's what kept me hooked.Gardner introduces us to the Denbe family. They are the quinessential upper-class family. Living in the part of New Hampshire that most can only dream about. Justin Denbe is an heir to aA story of an entire wealthy family kidnapped and held hostage. This was a fantastic thriller with many twists and turns.Towards the end you just want to keep reading to see how it's going to end.If you like a good thriller suspense then this book is for you.
After reading the first in this series of Tessa Leoni, I had to get me some more of that mama bear attitude. Nothing is what it seems in this kidnapping of a wealthy construction tycoon and his family. Tons of secrets and finger-pointing who to blame had me reeling there for a bit. Tessa Leoni, who is now a hired assessor, is on this case, along with the FBI and other outside law enforcement agencies. Tessa's role is subtle when it needs to be and then suddenly packs a punch as this mama bear
Touch & Go haunted me for several days after I finished. It took me well over two weeks to get through this audio book, with it being over fourteen hours long and listening to it only on my commutes. But every time I started again I was consumed and listened with rapt attention wishing my commute was much longer! The time in between readings didnt diminish this story at all, and part of that was due to the excellent performance of the narrator, Elisabeth Rodgers.This story was told in Libby
This book keeps you guessing and second guessing yourself pretty much from the get-go - or at least it did for me.A family is kidnapped! Is it for ransom? Or something else entirely. Who is behind it? A co-worker, employee, or family member?I'm liking this Tessa Leoni character, flawed as she is but as least she is getting past her past! Tessa is able to relate to the victims and comes across as one of the more sound investigators. We meet a couple of new characters - one or two that I like, one
Its official: I am OBSESSED with Lisa Gardners work. She writes movies, for crying out loud!! I mean, her stories literally jump off the pages. Not to mention THE WAY SHE WRITES ... good God! Her characters are perfection. Flawed. Real. Just the kind of characters I love to read about. And the way she keeps you guessing!! You dont know whodunnit till the last few pages ... these kinds of books, to me, are worth every penny. P.S. As one of THE pickiest people when it comes to leading ladies, I am
I am a pretty big Lisa Gardner fan, especially of her DD Warren series. Her newest release Touch and Go is due for release in February 2012 but I was fortunate to receive an early reader copy. Her latest book features Tessa Leoni (who also appeared in Love You More) who is called in after the Denbe family are abducted. Upon arrival at Justin and Libby Denbes home, there are no signs of a break in, and there is no ransom demand. It seems like the couple and their teenage daughter have vanished
