The secrets of a picture perfect family are exposed in this "tour de force"* thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner.
Ten minutes after walking the elite Back Bay townhouse and investigator Tessa Leoni already doesn't like what she sees. Signs of an abduction. Clearly the work of professionals. At best, the entire family has been kidnapped. At worst...
The more Tessa learns about the Denbe family, the less she likes their chances. What might have looked like the perfect existence--a powerful CEO, his adoring wife, their angelic child--is not what it appears. Husband, wife, daughter--magazine perfect, but each hiding dark secrets...
Tessa knows more than she'd like to about families riddled with lies. What she doesn't know is where the Denbes are and if any of them are still breathing. She'll have to climb over unbending feds and territorial local cops to find out, and if she's not fast, the Denbes' chances of survival will quickly become little more than touch and go...

Add a CommentAnother entertaining read by Lisa Gardner. This is the 2nd book in the Tessa Leoni series. I like her character and liked the addition of New Hampshire detective Wyatt Foster. Good plot with Tessa and Wyatt trying to find a kidnapped family. Lisa Gardner's writing style is engaging and makes for good page turners.
Could not put this book down. Great story and a great ending. I read the first in the series - Love you More and this is just as good as the first one. Will definitely be reading #3 - Crash and Burn. Lisa Gardner is a great novelist and will read more of her books! Sept 2017
She's been on my list of authors to read for years, but this is the first novel I've read! Very exciting right until the end! Good plot twists too! Looking forward to reading another!
Justin & Libby Denbe have what seems to be the perfect life. A great marriage, a beautiful 15 yr old daughter Ashlyn, & a lavish home in Boston's elite Back Bay neighborhood. Tessa Leoni is called in to investigate when the Denbe's vanish without a trace. It appears they were abducted yet there are no witnesses, no ransom demands and no motive. Slowly the secrets start to unravel and betrayals come to light. An excellent psychological thriller that had me guessing until the very end.
love lisa gardner. good read tho I did figure it out early
I probably didn't give this enough time, but I just couldn't get into it! I tried but it was so boring. I just finished Girl on the Train and heard that this one was even better... wow, just couldn't do it.
Read this after finishing The Girl On The Train and found it much more engaging. Dysfunctional characters in both but more believable in the Gardner work. All you folks waiting to get your hands on the current New York Times #1 bestseller, go for Gardner. You'll be glad you did.
A good read with mother-daughter bonding and mother's courage and ingenuity.

Also, how to you get to only available

This was an amazing book - pretty well the best of her works. Suspense, adventure and intrigue as the plot unfolds.
