Product Description
This is a high-octane thriller from “New York Times” top ten bestseller writer. Ellen is a single mother, and a feature writer for a local Philadelphia newspaper, recently taken over by a new hot editor, Marcelo, who though gorgeous, has not been fleeting in letting staff go. Ellen knows that, like others, her job may be on the line, and she is more vulnerable than most, for she has a three-year ancient adopted son, Will, who is the like of her life. As she goes to collect her post one morning, she picks up a ‘Missing Child’ card, and is struck by the mysterious resemblance between Will and the small boy, Timothy Braverman, who was kidnapped from his home in Miami two years ago. Timothy’s parents have a website for their child, and the tale is grim: not only was Timothy kidnapped, but his childminder was killed. The ransom was paid, the child never returned to his home. For Ellen, the tale is heartfelt: she first got to know Timothy as a tiny baby, when he was in hospital undergoing heart surgery; his adoption was hard won. As she searches further, something niggles at Ellen, and she starts to delve into the tale of Will’s birth mother, and uncover a horrendous tale that, as the novel goes on, has far reaching consequences.

A newspaper reporter, adoptive mother to a small boy, uncovers evidence that suggests her son might really be a missing child who was abducted as a baby. She battles her fears over losing her son in an attempt to find out the truth and do the right thing.
Scottoline has written a winner, a suspenseful, tense tale of what a mother will do to protect her child. Unlike too many thrillers featuring children in jeopardy, but, this one never goes too far. It’s unsettling in parts, but permanently refined.
This book will resonate most with parents, but any reader looking for a excellent thrill is urged to give this one a try.

Lisa Scottoline’s “Look Again” is a excellent novel in many ways. The tale is unique and immediately resonates with any parent out there. What if the child you adopted and grew to like suddenly turned up to be a name else’s missing child? Would you tell the truth and lose that child, or would you take in it up and live like nothing had ever happened? It’s a very powerful thought that seems like it would be a sure winner. Sorry to say, there are many moments in this book that keep it from being so. The characters were never really that likable, and I establish myself about middle through just waiting for the tale to end. This was my first introduction to Lisa’s work, but I know she’s more legendary for her officially authorized thrillers than for this type of tale. While I applaud any leader willing to step outside the boundaries of their genre to give their readers a taste of something different, I reflect this one could have used just a small more trimming to make it go quicker throughout. Still, it’s not a terrible book by any means and I reflect it’s a excellent place for a new fan (like me) to jump on. Just don’t judge her every tale by this one if the reviews of her additional books are any indication.

Although this book has a captivating tale line, it was to some extent disappointing in the way it was open

With LOOK AGAIN, Lisa Scottoline departs from her previous suspense novels that featured the likes of officially authorized eagles Mary DiNunzio, Bennie Rosato and Cate Fante to give her readers another intrepid, resilient lady. This ones name is Ellen Gleeson and she is journalist for a Philadelphia newspaper whose only acquaintance with the officially authorized profession occurred when she adopted her three year ancient son, Will, eighteen months earlier.
Ellen’s problems in this novel are four-fold. First, the local newspaper she works for is facing another cutback in staff and Ellen fears her head may be the one on the chopping block. Second, she has a back-stabbing co-worker named Sarah Liu with a “survival at any cost” attitude taking “pot shots” at her. Third, there is Ellen’s widower dad who is preparing to marry a woman Ellen has never met. Finally, there is the flyer that has just arrived in the daily mail that features the age enhanced photo of a kidnapped Florida child named Timothy Braverman, and that photo bears a arresting resemblance to her adopted son Will.
Not every aspect of Ellen’s life is negative. On the plus side there is her tall, dark and “sexy as Antonio Banderas” boss who answers to the name of Marcelo Cardosa and seems to have a special affinity for Ellen, and of course her son’s ever devoted and loyal babysitter, Connie Mitchell.
Questions regarding Will’s parentage plague Ellen and she chose to place her job on the back burner while she investigates some of the mysterious coincidences and similarities between her son’s background and that of the missing Braverman boy. What she discovers challenges the direction of her moral and ethical compass as well as jeopardizing her life.
In the past Scottoline has permanently delivered engrossing thrillers with plenty of courtroom action. With LOOK AGAIN, she gives us an up close and personal look at the cutthroat world of newspaper television journalism, a realm whose inhabitants are struggling for survival in a world that relies more and more on the Internet for its news. She also presents us with a situation that invites us to answer the question “How would I react and what choice would I make if I were Ellen Gleeson”.
