Book Review: Touch & go - L. Gardner


“Violence, the great equaliser. Cared nothing for money, class, occupation. One day, it simply found you.” 

My first Lisa Gardner's book and I loved it! Such a suspense filled, fast moving detective story!
I really liked all the main detective characters and, even if I didn't read the first book in the Tessa Leoni's serie, it was quite easy to catch up with her personality and to like her. The character I really liked though is Wyatt Foster, a lied back, easy going, smart sergeant in New Hampshire, very down to earth and likable I really hope the promises of a relationship between the two gets concrete in the next chapter of the serie! I just bought Love you more, the first novel with Tessa Leoni, as I am curios to read about her deceased husband and how she went from police office to private investigator.
I'd highly recommend this novel to readers who like books filled with a lot of surprises, plotting, detective work. Brilliant!
