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 . . .

"This Book was Amazing, I Fell in Love With Tessa Leoni From Page 1 and kept falling even up until the last page I respected her and she just came a live for me it was extremely hard for me to put this book down the first night i read and read and by the time i looked up at the clock it was 4:30 am the next morning. The one thing/person in this book that i have a gripe about is DD yes she did mature in this book ( Finally!!!) but not by much she still had that annoying "dog with a bone" problem going even if she was on the wrong track and it was proven several times she would not let go i really wish this character were more developed and had better people skills instead of assuming everybody is automatically the bad guy"
— Ivana (5 out of 5 stars)
One of the best thriller writers in the business has written her best book to date.
— Associated PressLeads the reader on a breathless search until the final pages.
— The Star-LedgerHaving already produced a dozen successful thrillers, Gardner proves herself not only a very clever storyteller here, capable of pulling together a complicated series of events, but also a writer able to invest her characters (particularly her female ones) with emotional substance. Compelling and unexpected, this tale of mystery and maternal devotion shows Gardner at her very best.
— Booklist (starred review)Gardner’s characters are fully drawn . . . and her taut storytelling and dizzying plot will appeal to fans of Harlan Coben.
— Library Journal (starred review)Gardner hits an impressive new high with her latest taut thriller. . . . Unbelievably gripping and clever, you won’t want to put it down until the final page!
— RT Book ReviewsGripping . . . jaw-dropping.
— Publishers WeeklyThis book had me at the author’s name. Lisa Gardner . . . no one owns this corner of the genre the way she does—and Love You More might be her best ever.
— Lee ChildTessa Leoni is a dedicated single mom when she is swept away by a man who turns out to be the wrong guy. Emotionally true, harrowing, and unputdownable. Brava, Lisa Gardner!
— Lisa ScottolineA heart-pounding tale of family drama by the Mozart of thriller writers. I could not tear myself away.
— Tess GerritsenI dare you to try and put this book down. Gardner does her homework and loads this thriller chockfull of authentic details, giving readers a front seat ride that will leave you gasping.
— Alex KavaCrisp prose, crackling plots, layered characters. A stickler for detail. Lisa Gardner is the best female thriller writer working today.
— Steve BerryLisa Gardner is an amazing writer. Her characters are multi-dimensional and believable, and they tell the kinds of stories that grip you right from the first page.
— Karin SlaughterI loved that this book had not just one but two amazing, compelling, complex, and incredibly strong kick-ass female characters.
— Suzanne BrockmannLisa Gardner’s books come with a built-in set of hands. They reach up out of the pages, grab you by the lapels, and hold you until you’ve read to the final, suspense-filled sentence. And Love You More is no exception.
— Linwood BarclayIt has the chills and thrills to excite, and the heart to draw you in.
— Sandra Brown" Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Pace was fast with twists and turns and although you could sort of guess what way it was heading it still kept you turning the pages. From the way Tessa was portrayed you knew whatever she could not be the bad guy. "
— Fiona, 2/20/2014" Thought I was tired of female detectives, and maybe I am but I really like Trooper Tessa Leoni. Fastest I have read a book in a while. "
— April, 2/19/2014" Little bit over the top in believability but entertaining page turner. "
— Elaine, 2/11/2014" couldnt put this book down! Was awesome "
— Jennifer, 1/30/2014" Mind blowing, suspenseful! I love a novel that wraps you up and you have no idea whether you're coming or going! I was on the edge of my seat, scared that Tessa was guilty, praying she was innocent, and completely and totally upset at D.D. for being so narrow minded, but Lisa has a way with words, you see just how jaded an officer can get, you see just how narrow their minds jump when confronted with a crime scene.. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. I think I found a new favorite! "
— Tjptuvin, 1/30/2014" I tried and tried to get into this book. I am sorely disappointed I wasted an Audible credit on it. I just can't get into the story. "
— Chrystal, 1/21/2014" Lisa Gardner is brilliant! This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I throughly enjoyed it! "

— Jill, 1/20/2014" Excellent book! Couldn't put it down, Heartwrenching, cried literal tears, MUST READ!!! "
— Kandi, 1/19/2014" I don't read mysteries, but I did enjoy this one. It kept me guessing until the end, although I find it implausible that anyone could do what she did and go on to live a normal life. "
— Anna, 1/2/2014" Good Mystery. I did not figure it out until the very end. Kept me very interested "
— Jeanette, 12/27/2013" Another good Lisa Gardner "read"! She keeps you guessing right up to the end. Not her best, but it was good enough to keep me turning those pages :), as always! "
— Pat, 12/12/2013" This was my first Lisa Gardner book. I'm now hooked on her books. This book really twisted in ways I didn't see coming. "

— Psheafryzel, 12/6/2013" I decided, once I started this novel, to read it all in one day and I did. This is a great murder mystery with enough realistic twists to keep me reading. The characters are interesting and well-fleshed out. I would recommend this book very highly--easy to read and suspenseful. "
— Meg, 10/28/2013" Unusual style, the main protagonist is of course D. D. Warren but this story is told in the voice of a third person. "
— David, 7/19/2013" This one was a little slow for me, I felt like it went in circles. I enjoyed it and it is a little haunting, which is often the case with Lisa Gardner. It looks like there are some character changes coming for D.D. Warren. "
— Lee, 4/10/2013" This was another great D.D. Warren mystery. Ms. Gardner knows how to create just the right amount of tension and intrigue to keep you turning pages way past your bedtime! "
— A., 12/4/2012" This novel tosses the reader back and forth, leaving one guess behind as another emerges. Good summer read. "
— VickiLee, 11/17/2012" For one who usually predicts the outcome of books fairly easily, this one kept me on my toes until the last 20 percent of the book. It was an easy and enjoyable read with great character development and suspense. "

— Marla, 5/20/2011" Story was just ok. Lots of twists and turns to get to the end of the story. I figured it out before I reached the end as the storyline became somewhat predictable. "
— Sharnette, 5/19/2011" My first Lisa Gardner book and I enjoyed it. I like some mysteries..but cannot read too many at a time..but this book had a Harlen Coben-ish style that kept my interest and taught me a few things about police training. "
