As I've mentioned before, I'm a sucker for a mystery/detective novel. So when my mom
brought this book with her on vacation to my house, I recognized it as one I've seen on the shelf at Target and considered buying on more than one occasion. I've never read a Lisa Scottoline novel before, but apparently, she's published quite a few novels. After reading this particular novel, I might look up her others when I'm short on reading material. Having written that, I wouldn't put her up there with Janet Evanovich or Carl Hiaasen as one of my favorite authors.

When the main character discovers that her adopted son might actually be a kidnapped child, she begins to questions her duty to act on the information. I found myself on more than one occasion asking what would I do in that (albeit far-fetched) situation. There were a few times I had difficulty getting into the novel and continuing, but I found myself itching to know the outcome of the situation. I would recommend this as a read if you were riding in a plane or sitting in an office.
