"After Anna" by Lisa Scottoline
We all have defining moments in our lives by which we
measure time. Some are good… some not so much. Before marriage, after marriage;
before children, after children; before a divorce, after a divorce; before the
child you have not seen in almost 17 years returns to your life and after.
Maggie, Anna’s Mother, is estatic when Anna contacts her.
She has not seen Anna since she was six months old. Not since she had a
breakdown and was hospitalized; during which her husband returned to France
with Anna. French courts, lies and her ex-husbands wealth kept Maggie from seeing
Anna or even receiving a photograph all this time. After the death of Anna’s
father, step-mother and step-brothers in a plane crash, she wanted to reconnect
with her mother and soon moves in with her.
Soon, Maggie’s idyllic life with her husband, Noah, and
10-year-old step son Caleb begins to fall apart. Anna, now a multi-millionaire,
spends lots of money without asking and stays out late without calling to let
anyone know where she is. When no adults are watching, she mistreats Caleb. Soon,
she begins to accuse Noah of inappropriate behavior and even files a Protection
from Abuse against him.
But who do you believe? Who do you trust? Your husband of
two years or your new found 17-year-old daughter? And where do you turn when
that daughter turns up dead on the porch of your husband’s new rental house and
all evidence points to him as the killer?
Lisa Scottoline’s novels are always, well-written, fast-paced
and full of twists. “After Anna” was no exception.
