Touch & Go
by Lisa Gardner
First off, let me tell you that I didn't actually read this book. Instead I listened to it in audio format which happens to be one of my secrets for when I am either in my studio (or my body is rebelling). I do find however listening rather then reading a book does make for a different experience because the narrator is also part of the mix. Oh and this is a book that I purchased myself through Audible.com.
I both enjoyed and was frustrated by this book. Ms. Gardener is very good at subtle hints but I find it rather frustrating how she then feels the need to point out the obvious later. I also felt that the pacing was slightly off. I always felt removed from the action so I didn't feel any real tension as I was listening to it.
I did say that I enjoyed the book and I did. I love how deep Ms. Gardner plumbs into her characters, or at least the ones she chooses to focus on. I really feel that I know Tessa and Libby. Both women who are strong in some ways and weak in others. I loved watching Tessa's quiet competence as she works so save the Libby's family. And I could relate to both which tends to draw me into a book.
Would I pick up other books by this author? In a heartbeat. A good portion of whether I will enjoy a book has to do with the characters. I plan on looking for more books featuring Tessa.
