Love You More is a suspense novel written by Lisa Gardener, whom I've
never read before. My wife gave me this one and told me it was good.
Love You More is ruthless in its suspense, having given away some of the
background on this crime mystery in the prologue, we follow along as
the police try to piece together the crime and the motive without the
benefit we have of that critical prologian* information. And the closer
the cops get to the truth, the more we realize that we don't have all
the information needed to solve this crime after all.
It's a tightly woven and compelling story, told by a writer who clearly
knows a fair amount about police procedures and believes in a strong
female lead. In fact, the lead quickly takes on the role of the
reluctant hero, and even makes us wonder at times if we're routing for
the wrong team. As I said, there's a lot going on here and
Gardener does
a good job of meting out the info, switching back and forth from third
person narrative to first person in the case of the protagonist. Nicely
done.
* Yeah, I made that word up.
