Excellent suspense novel! I enjoyed every moment of it, and this book really kept my attention right up the surprise ending. Lisa Gardner is a master suspense writer. I really am impressed with the way she is able to use multiple perspectives/narrators and switch the action between the family that has been kidnapped and the detectives/law enforcement trying to rescue the family. highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful thriller. I could not stop reading it once I got closer to the end. It had great characters, a great plot and subplot that kept you guessing the entire time. One of the best thrillers I have read in a long time.

I've now read almost every book by Lisa Gardner. She generally writes fast-paced thrillers that are low on romance. She sometimes tackles tough, sensitive subjects, and dark themes, but unlike some thriller authors, she never lets her stories devolve into torture porn. She knows just how much to show the reader and when to let the more disturbing details be left off the page. Like any prolific author, some of her books are better than others, but Touch & Go is definitely one of her best. It's very hard to put down once you begin. I figured out the ending earlier than I usually do, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. And I'm definitely hoping we see Radar again in the future.

One of the main characters (Tessa Leoni) is first introduced in Love You More, but it won't matter too much if you don't read that one first.

I have never read a Lisa Gardner book that I didn't like. This one was also amazing, as I expected from such a talented writer. She certainly knows how to keep the reader in suspense - the creativity she possesses in developing the characters involved in her novels is what earns her such high praise from me. I would have to say that the only time Lisa Gardner disappoints is when her book comes to an end. Loved this book!

TOUCH & GO was this month's pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove. And I'm sorry to say I was pretty underwhelmed.

It started off interestingly enough, with a woman and her husband apparently trying to reconnect after an infidelity in their marriage, but then the pace got in a hurry to go nowhere...fast.

I don't think there was enough plot to justify the 400+ pages, so it dragged more than not and I lost interest in solving the mystery about what was going on with this family, and the police investigation to find them. And in the end, the twist felt pretty anticlimactic.

I suggest reading the first 100 pages, then skimming to the last 50. You won't miss anything. This was a pretty average story. I give it a C.
