I see a lot a bad reviews for this one and I am not entirely sure why so many were so harsh. I guess we enter into a reading experience with certain expectations... For me, the main premise of what would you do if you suspected your…

Engaging audiobook but really didn't appreciate typecasting the Asian character as the antagonist

An absorbing thriller, lots of plot twists and turns.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews. This book was so good I read it in two days. It really makes you think about what you would do in that situation and it so good!

I wanted to read this when I read the premise - I thought it sounded really interesting and thought-provoking. Then I read it and discovered that no, it was just provoking. Wow. What an incredibly poorly written novel. My fave terrible…

What would you do if you found out your adopted child might in fact be somebody's kidnapped child? 3 yr old Will with his beloved cat Oreo Figaro are the best things in Ellen’s life, how could she possibly let him go? It’s admirable how…

I like this one a bit better than one of Scottoline's other stand-alone novels, Save Me. This book also has a highly unlikely plot but all the pieces fit together (pretty much) and I liked the protagonist. The romance could've been left…

This book makes you think if you were Ellen what would you do?

The plot is solid, but the author really loses me with the constant and stagnant self-reflection of the protagonist (Ellen). It's really unfortunate, because Ellen is a very likeable and real character - she plays to the beat of Average…

I don't normally read this kind of book (it was a bit of a thriller written sort of like a Jodi Picoult novel) but I really enjoyed it although it is certainly a bit over the top at times. The melodrama and silly plot twists took away from…

I couldn't even finish the thing. I think the story had some potential but was so full of holes I just didn't buy it. And WAAAAY too much self reflection by the author. Every page had a paragraph devoted to, "oh is it him? could it be…

A great story that makes you think what would I do. Great twists and a good ending.

Read this book in one day. I've always liked Scottoline's books, but this was my favorite. A real page-turner, with lots of emotion.

I could not set this book down. It was a great read. You keep wanting to know what happens next. You don't have to like suspense novels to enjoy it, it can appeal to anyone. (I usually go for the light, love novels. So this book…

This story is about any adoptive mother’s worse nightmare – the birthparents are searching for their long lost child – which you adopted. This however isn’t an issue of open adoption – the little boy was kidnapped and then when he became…
