Look Again
by Lisa Scottoline is the second book I have read by her. It’s about a Ellen, a journalist and single mother who thinks her adopted son looks a lot like the face of a missing child on a postcard she received in the mail. She becomes paranoid that neighbors may think she kidnapped him and is afraid she may lose him. Nevertheless, she can’t ignore the fact that her 3-yr.-old son, Will, looks like the missing kid, Timothy. She goes on a search for the truth to hopefully prove Will is not the same child that turns deadly. This is a book that starts slowly and an ending that did not surprise me. My favorite characters were Marcelo, Ellen’s boss and Will’s cat, Oreo Figaro. I didn’t care much for Ellen at the beginning but did get to like her by the end of the book. She was smart and courageous.

If you like books about fierce mothers who fight for their kids or books that address moral dilemmas, this is a good one for you. I liked Save Me by Lisa Scottoline better though. My husband starting this one but said it was a woman’s book and gave up on it. I agree with him—it is geared more to women.

"Look Again" is one of the most touching novels that I've read! I enjoyed it to the fullest! It was real and oftentimes made you think. Scottoline's central character is a single mother determined to get to the bottom of her son's true identity, while under pressure from her job. She becomes involved in a more dangerous situation than she expects as she tries to get to the bottom of why "her" legally adopted son looks like a missing child.
