"Love You More" is part of Lisa Gardner's Detective D. D. Warren mystery series but it is the first one I've read. I think I must have picked it up on my library's new books shelf and I'm hooked. This is the fifth book in what appears to be an eleven book series so I have a little catching up to do since I like to read series in order for continuity.
Detective D. D. Warren is called in reluctantly on a high profile case. State Police Trooper Tessa Leoni's husband has been shot dead on their kitchen floor and her six year old daughter is missing. Although Tessa admits to shooting her husband in self defense and she has the bruises to prove she's been beaten, something doesn't quite add up and where is her daughter?
Tessa ends up in jail accused of murdering her husband and daughter because the improbable story she tells isn't believed. However, as a reader, we know her story is true so how will she convince D.D. and the other investigators that she didn't kill her husband or her daughter and how will she find her missing daughter from jail? The investigators are convinced they're searching for the young girl's body even though they've put her picture out and an alert for her. This story has so many twists and turns and is so well written that it really is hard to tell in advance what is going to happen. It is solid writing that leads to a satisfactory conclusion for all. pazt
