I enjoyed this so much!!!! It's a great story, and well worth listening to.
A very fresh mystery story. Very different premise and suspenseful telling. I like Lisa Scottoline very much and this book is a good one. I'll never tell how it turns out.
This is the first audiobook I've listened to by this author and I liked it. The story held my attention, and the characters were believable. I'd never given much thought to this subject because I never recognize anyone who's listed on the little white postcards in the mail showing missing children. The twists toward the end came as a surprise and that was refreshing. Mary Stuart Masterson as the narrator was a perfect choice. I look forward to listening to more audiobooks by this author in the future.
Excellent! I was surprised by the ending!
A mother see a picture of a boy on a milk carton. The boy looks exactly like the boy she adopted.Is it it him? She has to know ,how can both boys look so similar? Being a journalist she has to know the truth. Enter detective mom. If it is the missing boy what to do give him back or keep him? The tail untangles with an unexpected ending.Does she give up her son? Yes and no.
Look Again Reviewer purchase Audio book 5+ stars
By Lisa Scottoline Narrated by Mary Stuart Masterson
I loved the suspense! Oh! And the twists! Wow! Exciting book! I totally recommend it!
The story starts when Ellen gets a missing child flyer in the mail that looks just like her 3 year old. How is that possible? He's her son; she rescued him from the ICU. He was abandoned by his mother; had a heart condition and required a lot of extra care; the nurses assumed it was too much for the young mother.
Ellen met Will when he was a year old while she was doing a story. She loved him from the moment his beautiful eyes met hers; she was drawn back to the hospital to visit every day, sometimes more and once a day. It didn't take long for her to start the adoption process. The biological mother and father signed away their rights and he was hers. It was almost too easy; as smooth as an adoption can be. My father used to tell me "if something seems too good to be true, that's probably because it isn't;" I know simple advice, but true on so many occasions.
Once Ellen see's the flyer, she can't get it out of her mind; she loves her son so much; she can't imagine life without him, but she knows doing the right thing isn't always easy. The toughest decision a mother will ever have to make is weighing on her shoulders. Should she go to the cops? Should she learn all she can about the lost boy first? Should she just say nothing and keep him to herself?
Luckily, this mother was also a reporter, and her reporter instincts took over; she researched, regardless of where to or how long she had to travel for answers, she would stop at nothing. However, some questions are better left unanswered. Ellen uncovers a truth that is unbelievable. The suspense, action and mystery blew my mind.
Overall, this was a great story! I had the audio version, narrated by Mary Stuart Masterson; so you know the narration was perfect! I found myself leaving early for appointments so I could listen to more while I waited. Finally, I had to bring it in and listen to it while cleaning. I had to find out what happened and could NOT wait! This is a 5+ boundless star book. I absolutely loved it!
On a personal note, even being in the process of starting an adoption, I still loved it! LOL! It didn't scare me away.
