About the book (description from Scottoline's website,where you can also read the first chapter):
Jill Farrow is a typical suburban mom, who has finally gotten her and
her daughter's life back on track after a divorce. She is about to
remarry a great guy, her job as a pediatrician fulfills her, though it
is stressful, and her daughter Megan is a happily over-scheduled 13-year-old, juggling homework and swim team.
Jill's life is turned upside-down when her ex-stepdaughter, Abby,
shows up on their doorstep late one night and delivers shocking news —
Jill's ex-husband is dead. Abby insists that he was murdered and pleads
with Jill to help find his killer. Jill reluctantly agrees to make a few
inquiries, and discovers that things don't add up. As she digs deeper,
her actions threaten to rip apart her new family, destroy their
hard-earned happiness, and even endanger her own life. Yet, Jill can't
turn her back on a child she loves and once called her own. COME HOME
reads with the break-neck pace of a thriller, but also explores the
definition of motherhood. It asks the questions: Do you ever stop being a
mother? Can you ever have an ex-child? What are the limits and love of
family?
