Review: Come Home by Lisa Scottoline 4* 12/03/2022

I love this author's writing and the development of her characters. I feel this book is up to Lisa's standards. However, I enjoyed the story and it was fast pace so it didn't take long to read the book. It starts out by telling some background on Dr. Jill Farrow and how she is in the situation she is in now. She is a professional pediatrician with a 13-year-old daughter from a deceased first husband and is now divorced from her second husband who had two older daughters she wanted to stay connected after the divorce but their father told lies to his girls that they didn't want anything with Jill. Jill is now in her third relationship living with Sam Backer who has a son who lives in Texas.
As I read I found some inaccuracies throughout the book which I feel the author could have tightened up the flaws but she is a good writer. The character Jill tried to hard to be the perfect parent to her daughter and the other to girls and it just wasn't going to work out. While dealing with a new guy and her daughter she finally did her from one of the other girls after a long separation. Jill is off once again trying to keep everyone happy; turmoil just took over, and even her relationship was in trouble. ( )

My First read by Lisa Scottoline....and my last. The book was just okay. Not impressed with the "voice" or characters (tho' she was good at writing bitches). ( )

An excellent read. Very suspenseful with many twists and turns.
I devoured this book. ( )

If the characters in this book could whine anymore, I'd be shocked. It became annoying very quickly. Story was ok. Definitely not one of this author's best. ( )
