Come Home (Special)
Come Home (Special) | Lisa Scottoline
Lisa Scottoline has delivered taut thrillers with a powerful emotional wallop in her "New York" "Times" bestsellers "Save Me, " "Think Twice, " and "Look Again." Now, with her new novel, "Come Home, " she ratchets up the suspense with the riveting story of a mother who sacrifices her future for a child from her past.Jill Farrow is a typical suburban mom who has finally gotten her and her daughter's lives back on track after a divorce. She is about to remarry, her job as a pediatrician fulfills her---though it is stressful---and her daughter, Megan, is a happily over-scheduled thirteen-year-old juggling homework and the swim team. But Jill's life is turned upside down when her ex-stepdaughter, Abby, shows up on her doorstep late one night and delivers shocking news: Jill's ex-husband is dead. Abby insists that he was murdered and pleads with Jill to help find his killer. Jill reluctantly agrees to make a few inquiries and discovers that things don't add up. As she digs deeper, her actions threaten to rip apart her new family, destroy their hard-earned happiness, and even endanger her own life. Yet Jill can't turn her back on a child she loves and once called her own."Come Home "reads with the breakneck pacing of a thriller while also exploring the definition of motherhood, asking the questions: Do you ever stop being a mother? Can you ever have an ex-child? What are the limits to love of family?

I only understood the mystery of this book as it unfolded and that‘s a good thing. What I liked most was the story supporting the mystery - an ex-stepmother living a good life is 3 years out of touch with the two girls she helped raise but when one of those girls knocks on her door - can you really ever be an ex-mom?

Started getting annoying when the main character Jill, kept going on and on with questions to people she had no rights to when trying to find out the death of her ex-husband's death and her missing ex-daughter in law...her questions just dragged and dragged to the point of flipping through the pages

What a great book. Had a wicked turn that through me right off. Best kinds of books do that. Definitely need to read more from Lisa Scottoline.

KathyWheeler I‘ve read all of her essay collections that she writes with her daughter and loved them, but I‘ve never read her fiction. I‘ll have to check it out. 4y

New book light!!!

ljuliel Isn‘t that nice. Is it magnified too ? 4y
Krystle13 @ljuliel it isnt magnified. I believe there were some with that option though. First time I used it was tonight. Love it! 4y
ljuliel Can I ask where you got it ? I was just wondering where they were available and if it‘d help to see the regular size print better ? I bought one awhile back from Amazon but it was made pretty flimsy and didn‘t help much. This one looks much sturdier and nicer. Thank you. (edited) 4y

Krystle13 @ljuliel I got it from Amzon actually. The light is quite bright. I read for about 2 hours with it lastnight. Didnt hurt my eyes or cause a headache like the other light I had did. I give it a 5⭐ 4y
ljuliel Thanks for the info. I‘m glad it‘s working out well for you. Could you post the link in here ? I tried looking for it yesterday with ho luck. 4y
Krystle13 @ljuliel it's not working for me... type in easyinsmile book light. It's a couple lights down. I'm in Canada. If you are in the states it may not work. I have found things on American site but not on Canadian and Visa versa it's annoying lol 4y
ljuliel Ok, thanks. Yes, I‘m in the US. I‘ll take a look and see if I can find it. 4y

Sooo... it was okay.

I don‘t want to say skip this one, but I have read much better by Lisa Scottoline.

Bottom line: Pediatric doctor Jill discovers her ex-husband died from an overdose, and his daughter (her previous stepdaughter) swears it was murder.

Not sure where this novel took a wrong turn for me, or if it was that rushed (and a bit confusing) ending, but this would not be a recommendation for most people.

Overall, too drawn out.

My first Scottoline was a lukewarm success. I quite liked Dr. Jill Farrow: a doctor who wants to treat her patients & not focus on the soulless business structure of the practice, a woman with an ex-husband who just died, & 2 "ex"- stepdaughters she was cut off from.

There were many intense chapters as it concluded, but I wondered if I actually believed this woman would have really done what she did for her ex, if she really had it in her.

jbhops But have you read her books about Bennie and Mary and Judy? The Vendetta Defense? Her Rosato and Associates books are the best! 6y
mrozzz No this is the first I‘ve read by her! @jbhops 6y
