This book will keep you on the edge of your seat through the whole reading. It kept you guessing even up to the very end! Awesome book.

Really well done. I'll be looking into more of her work... I found at times that it was overly predictable and slow, but all in all a good read.

Another entertaining Scottoline! Soooooo many twists in this one.
I love her stuff. If I start one evening, I carry the book around with me until I finish it. Can't beat it for a great escape and gratifying, puzzling plot -- you just have to be prepared to suspend judgment on completely unrealistic resolutions.

I have liked all Scottoline's legal mysteries, but this one had a protagonist who annoyed me no end. The phrase "too stupid to live" comes to mind. One factor that made her even more annoying; her every boneheaded move was attributed to her being a mother, even though she is supposedly a fortyish pediatrician. Not recommended even for fans.

This was one of the worst books i have ever heard. I found myself hating the main character. She was annoying. The other supporting characters were annoying. A teen and 2 young adults acting like 5 year olds. I'm really not sure why I finished listening to it. There were very little clues along the way and when you finally learn the truth, it happens so quickly and with a very cheesy happy ending. It just wasn't satisfying.

There were a few things that were frustrating in this book--when I wanted to say "REMEMBER ___________!!!" but i enjoyed the plot twists enough to overcome that. Sometimes a thriller/mystery with a lot of plot twists just seems too fantastic, but I don't feel that way when I read Scottoline. I like not being sure and usually being wrong!

I enjoyed this book. It is mainly about how a stepmother continues to feel like she's a mother to her stepchildren even after a divorce from the father of the children. A woman is approached by her former stepdaughter after her ex-husband is murdered. Of course, life is turned upside down and they have a crime mystery to solve.

A bit far fetched for me, and some of the dialogue was much too lengthy.

started out fantastic. great story, pacing and background. got a bit weird in the middle. end wrapped up waaaaaaaaay easily. that disappointed me. I've loved other books by scottoline, but this one left me a bit unfulfilled.
