The book was an interesting premise with twists and turns. But the ending was quick and stupid and unbelievable.

'After Anna' is a very different psychological drama from Lisa Scottoline. The timeline of the book is written backwards from the husbands point of view and forward from the wife's. That worked well. However, and it's a great big…

This was a fast and enjoyable read. I found Maggie, the mother, to be a little gullible always believing Anna, her daughter over what her husband was telling her. The ending was somewhat abrupt and a little unbelievable considering the…

Well, now that I've read the review section - From the Critics - I have no need to read the book. it's all in there. I would have appreciated a spoiler alert before I started reading them.

Didn't really care for this book at all. It did have a good plot twist but ending was pretty unbelievable. Not my favorite. I would give it a pass.

The tone of this book was strange, the dialogue was a little juvenile, and the characters fell flat for me. Also, the author uses a lot of exclamation points! The whole first half of the book had sentences like this! The plot twists…

Not as good as many of Lisa's books, but I still enjoyed it and had a hard time putting it down. I especially liked the courtroom scenes and reading how those convicted of crimes can be made to look undeniably guilty.

Mostly I love her books and this started out good but then it took some weird turns..like they would really let someone tag along on a swat raid? And i've never been in the back of a squad car, but I thought the doors don't open from the…

I was disappointed in this book. I found the characters to be very naive. But if you want to read it, hang in there, the story improves about 3/4 of the way through the book.

When I first began to read Lisa Scottoline's novels, they were well written. This novel, After Anna, appears to have scraped bottom. It is over 600 pages long and filled with repetitive and confusing dialog. The characters behave…

Predictable. I figured most of it out early on...

I have read a good majority of her books which I found very good....but I have to say that this one I was very disappointed....it had it's moments (very few) but overall I'm glad I didn't buy it.

I really enjoyed this novel. It is true that some things are left unresolved and that always leaves a nagging feeling. However it was interesting to read a plot that seemed very unlikely and still was made believable by the author. She…

From a writer I have previously like, this book is literally unreadable. The story line is absurd and unbelievable, the characters just horrible in the sense that you couldn't care less. I got half way in, and felt like I needed a shower…

Not as a good as some of Lisa Scottoline's other books.

I liked the book and the characters. However, I had just finished "Sometimes I Lie" when I read this book and the ending is definitely not on par with that book, so it was a bit of a disappointment. Everything wrapped a little too…

Another good stand-alone from Scottoline. I like her tendency lately to include a man as a main character. This story is about a woman, Maggie, reuniting with the 17-year-old daughter she has not seen since infancy. It's told in…

Loved this book. Kept me guessing until the end.

I loved this book as I do all of this author's books. This one kept me "glued" because I knew it had to have a different ending. I thought I knew the "twist', however, I was so wrong. Totally enjoyable and intense read!!!!

Feb 15, 2024: I knew I had read this book and it was the best book. Must have been if I read it before. Another one of Lisa's wonderful novels. Have read them all and can not say I have found one I did not enjoy. One of the books…

To quote USAF1969 " My one criticism is one that I have expressed in multiple reviews of multiple books by multiple authors. That is, really great story lines that are then rushed to very short endings that leave lots of loose ends (mostly…

Reading this book made me realize why Legal Thrillers are my favorite genre. Maggie, Noah, and their stepson/ son Caleb live a happy and peaceful life . This is shattered. When? After Anna. Yes, the arrival of Maggie's long lost daughter…

Good book. Good plot, strong characters, good story line, needed to make book. Read about the turmoil a seventeen year old girl can cause in a family of 3. Stepfather gets accused of sexual abuse, then gets arrested and goes to trial…
