Look Again


We met for our August meeting at Karen's house. We enjoyed seeing her addition. Hopefully next year the weather cooperates and we can enjoy her new patio. We had a yummy dessert bar with a few salads thrown in!
Our book to discuss was Look Again by Lisa Scottoline.

FFrom Booklist

Ellen Gleeson was balancing life as a single mother and a feature reporter as well as could be expected. She had taken on single parenthood voluntarily, having fallen in love with her adopted son, Will, now three, when he was a very sick infant. A have-you-seen-this-child postcard featuring a child who could be Will’s twin catches Ellen’s attention, and while she should be pursuing her assigned story about the emotional effect of Philadelphia’s high teenage murder rate, she instead becomes obsessed with the missing child and with pursuing more details about Will’s background. Her questions multiply when she learns that, just three weeks after she adopted Will, the attorney who handled the proceedings killed herself. Where is the birth mother, and why doesn’t her family seem to know that she was pregnant? The answer only leads to danger, but Ellen, her reporter’s instincts on high alert, is hell-bent on finding the truth, no matter the cost. In a departure from her wildly popular Rosato & Associates series, Scottoline still sticks to what she knows in this taut stand-alone: female drama, family ties, legal intrigue, and fast-paced action. A sure-fire winner. --Mary Frances Wilkens
We enjoyed the book and had a great discussion!
Beth and Jill clearly LOVED it!!
It's hard to tell what these two villians thought.
These two certainly had other things on their mind.
The book club queens were in attendance.
AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!

  2. My goodness! I had a great time, loved the dessert/salad bar and the great conversation! If I'd have known what I was missing, I'd have retired and join the Merry BBs long ago...
