It's been years since I read a Lisa Scottoline book, but so glad I decided to catch up on her backlist. Probably would not recommend this to anyone who's adopted a child. A journalist comes across an age-progressed picture of a missing child...who looks just like her son. A fast-paced twister, this ...

Ellen Gleeson is a newspaper reporter in Philadelphia and the single mother of an adopted son. On page one of Look Again Ellen glances at a have-you-seen-this-child flyer and both her reporter's and her maternal instincts are set to jangling: the child on the flyer looks exactly like her son. She ob...

Far-fetched to the point of crazy. Many "WTF is this shit???" moments. Protagonist is mildly likeable, but doesn't seem rational in ANY aspect of her life. I will remember this one for all the wrong reasons.

Originally published at my blog Chasing Empty PavementsThis book was weird at first because I didn't think it started off that well. She used description in the wrong way, bogging down her sentences and what she was trying to get across. After the first few chapters though, things went much more smo...

Wow - what a great book! It brings me back to The Face on the Milk Carton except from another perspective. The story was intriguing, the writing was great and it was just all together enjoyable.

A wonderful book. Scottoline paints a compelling story with realistic characters, that leaves the reader asking not only what would they do in the same situations, but what is the right thing to do.

This fast-paced mystery with a little romance was recommended to me by my mother because it's set in Philadelphia and concerns adoption.

This book was a mess. Ellen, the protagonist, was frustrating and continually made wrong or silly decisions. It was extremely slow and meandered for the first 244 pages, mostly following Ellen tediously researching things and interviewing people that didn't matter in the end. None of the informatio...

It was good. Heart-wrenching even. But there were moments that made me want to roll my eyes and skip a chapter or two because of the MC being a total brat. (STALKING?!) But anywho, I liked it and other than the over-obsessive stalking thing and the fact that it lasted so darn long..other than that i...

Timothy Braverman was kidnapped from his Florida family two years ago. When Ellen Gleeson sees his picture on a Have You Seen This Child? mailer, she is spooked. Timothy bears an uncanny resemblance to her 3-year old adopted son, Will. The more she tries to push the thoughts away, the more she wo...
