Relation In Pursuance Of Books Look Again
When reporter Ellen Gleeson gets a 'Have You Seen This Child?' flyer in the mail, she almost throws it away. But something about it makes her look again, and her heart stops; the child in the photo is identical to her adopted son, Will.Her every instinct tells her to deny the similarity between the boys, because she knows her adoption was lawful. But she's a journalist and won't be able to stop thinking about the photo until she figures out the truth. And she can't shake the question: if Will rightfully belongs to someone else, should she keep him or give him up?
She investigates, uncovering clues no one was meant to discover, and when she digs too deep, she risks losing her own life; and that of the son she loves.
Lisa Scottoline breaks new ground in Look Again, a thriller that's both heart-stopping and heart-breaking, and sure to have new fans and book clubs buzzing.

Don't you just hate when you have so little respect for a book that it stirs up all kinds of vile, hostile, feelings in you and you develop a passion for trashing the book? And then you have to feel guilty because there's probably some poor starving author who worked her fingers (and brain cells) to the bone, cranking out this drivel, and foisting it on the unsuspecting public? And then, even so, the book somehow gets a 4 star rating, which makes you feel like you are truly living in theCollecting the mail as she entered the house from work, Ellen Gleeson was keen to see her three-year-old son Will.

I picked this book up somewhere and it's been sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time. I always looked at it and then chose something else, but I was finally out of reading material at home and the library was closed.I should have left it on the shelf.The writing was mediocre at best, but the story was wretched. Adoptive mother Ellen sees a missing child flier in her mailbox, and the age progressed picture looks remarkably like her son, whom she had adopted from the hospital after he was
I really have enjoyed all of Lisa Scottoline's past books...always buying the next book out. This book...is...ridiculous. I have a hard time believing she actually wrote this. Just the premise is hard to believe. Would a mother who supposedly adores her adopted child risk her job ( shes the breadwinner here) and the possibility of losing her child just because she saw a picture on a missing child flyer that looks like her son. Making every kind of stupid decision a mother could make. I would
Do not waste your money on Look Again by Lisa Scottoline. This author has written many good books. And this story sounds good. However, the book has a lot of problems, such as characters that need to be put back in the oven to cook further, unrealistic concepts, and an ending that makes you question why you read the book. This is why I give this book one star. This book was another gift I received. That is the only reason why I finished it.
Intrigued by the ethical premise but fell short in the unbelievable and predictable delivery. Title should be "Try Again". Legal and emotional thriller of an adoptive mom seeing an age progressed photo of her son on a post card and her efforts to discover if her worst fears are true. Didn't hate it so much as didn't necessarily like it either. Noticed some editing errors which for me is always supremely distracting especially in a less than engaging story. ***Spoiler Alert***As for characters, I
I really did not like this. The premise of the story was intriguing until it wasn't.
