Another thriller from Lisa Gardner. A mega rich Boston family is kidnapped but there are no demands for ransom. Some crack investigations from Tessa Leoni, a former policewoman now doing private detective work, leads to the unraveling of a multi-layered mystery. Why were all the family's valuables left in a big pile on the kitchen counter? Was the marriage as strong as it appeared? Did the teenage daughter have anything to do with this?? Gardner again switches perspectives between the kidnapped wife, Tessa, and a new character - Wyatt, a sheriff in the nearby wilds of New Hampshire - which oh so slowly helps to put the myriad pieces together. We also get a glimpse into Tessa's past and why she is no longer working on the force she so obviously loves - she has a greater love for her fatherless child. And we are treated to a cameo by Detective Sergeant D.D. Warren. I saw a bit of the end plot coming but there was one surprise in which minor character was actually involved. I preferred Find Her to this one, but this one is certainly worth a read. Gardner's book are perfect beach/pool reading!!! Happy Summer!!
