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 . . .

The speed in which I read this book, while on tight deadline, shows how much I loved it.
Read it in a day because I couldn't put it down (that includes one of my kid's birthdays and running around all day with life stuff.)
Absolutely riveting page turner.
If you're a parent, you'll understand the lengths the heroine goes to in order to save her child.
The constant plot twists ensured the pages flew.
I'm a huge fan of Lisa Gardner and will eagerly await her next book.
Always a fan of a good murder mystery.
Lisa Gardner is a good story teller and keeps the audience guessing till the last chapter.
Listened to the audio book of one of her books for the first time.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved reading about Tessa Leoni's origin story. It made me like her character even more. D. D. Warren however not so much. D. D. is not a good detective in my eyes. She was outsmarted at every turn in this book, however I will extend some grace as she was going through some personal issues of her own. I really enjoy reading the Tessa Leoni series and I hope there is more to come.
