pickI listened to this book most of the day yesterday without turning on my television. I worked in my yard with wireless headphones on so that I wouldn't miss anything. It was that good. Now, some parts weren't believable, but I rolled with it. I liked the details in the story about sperm donor process and requirements versus egg donor requirements. This book made me think about what I would do in this situation. I enjoyed this book to the very end.
pickLisa Scottoline is never a disappointment.
Christine and husband Marcus, are desperate for a baby. So they go with a unknown donor, but the man Christine sees on the news as being caught by police as a serial killer, she also thinks is her baby's donor. Now she puts her marriage on hold to investigate if this man is or not.
Fast pace, page turning thriller. Such a great book, I loved it❤❤❤. 📚👍❤
pickQuick and easy read! Kept me interested from the beginning as the storyline was developed early on in the book. Thought the ending was a pleasant surprise. Definitely a great book for a weekend read
pickThis story was about a couple that use a sperm bank to get pregnant. Then she sees a news report that scares her into thinking her baby's real father is a murderer. I highly recommend this book. It is easy and fast to read.
Setting takes place in my hometown! So weird to hear how she describes places around here! Not sure how I feel about her writing style or voice but trying to stick with this one!

pickThe book definitely went in a different direction than expected; however, I enjoyed the journey. I don't think a lot of what happened was plausible, but with a Lisa Scottoline book I've learned to be entertained and not impressed with literary mastery.
"'I wonder if our hotel room has room service. I want to have people bring me food. It's like a hospital for moms.'"
Huh? Or, you know, it's room service and luxurious and nothing like a hospital.
Not thrilled with the editing on this book. Some things are overly explained. Other places lack clarity on who the subject of the sentence is or who is speaking. Mustering through for book club's sake, otherwise I would have given up 60 pages ago.
Time to get cracking on my book club's December selection. Anyone read this one?
I've been really trying to make myself love audio books as it will make my commute to and from work better and Most Wanted kept me interested! And to top it off, borrowed it from library via Overdrive! ❤❤❤
pickHad to borrow this one twice from Overdrive to finish, but it was worth the double wait! A couple uses a sperm bank in order to get pregnant. When a man who bears a resemblance to their donor is arrested as a suspected serial killer, the newly pregnant woman sets out to uncover the truth...no matter how devastating it may be. (This one didn't pan out the way I thought it would!) I enjoy the psychological aspects of her novels that I've read.
Awaiting my third flight of the day, I spotted this gem while walking through the Philadelphia airport! This little free library was surrounded by six wooden chairs. How incredibly cute is this? And what a fabulous idea! So many people read on flights and could probably use extra space in their bag when they're done. (Listening to the audio of this book on my flights and am really liking it so far.)
bailedCouldn't get into the story. I guess I was expecting something else, more suspense.
pickScottoline is always a solid bet... This stand-alone suspense novel features a pregnancy, tensions between a couple, a serial killer and secrets. I listened to the audiobook - good narrator!
pickLiked the premise. Can't imagine living thru it. Kept me engaged. Loved Christine. Hated Marcus at times. Loved Griff. Another good one from Scottine!

panI almost bailed on this one. I hate when a story is introduced, is somehow completely derailed, and completely changes course. Somehow this went from killer may be my sperm donor, to suing people, to teacher turned detective. Never liked the mc and she got more annoying and nonsensical. Not for me
Ahhh, as soon as she starts talking about Philly I gotta pull out some of their finest--Peanut Chews!
Today's sick reading. Trying to kick the worst of this cold before a long week at work.
Starting a new book. Wonder how many pages I can get in before I crash! Been a crazy week.
Lisa Scottoline did extensive research before writing this fast paced novel. What would you do if your sperm donor was a serial killer? Perfect summer read.
pickMost Wanted was a thrilling, entertaining and thought provoking novel. Full review & synopsis on our blog http://bit.ly/26atBbZ
