While I was reading "After Anna" by Lisa Scottoline, I felt as if I was watching a Lifetime movie. It kept my interest enough that I did finish it.

Lisa Scottoline's latest is her best book yet. It's a riveting read that is superb. The plot is like a mountain road, full of curves and twists and leaves one guessing. The narrative is fast paced and things are revealed that readers won't see coming. It also has a very satisfying ending. Don't miss this one.

Scottoline at her finest; After reading her every one of her books since she 1st published Everywhere that Mary Went in the early 90s, I think that After Anna is her best book yet! I was blown away! Highly recommended!! Full review to come here and on my blog closer to publication date.

Another Lisa Scottoline winner. Loved the story, and the way it was organized present, past, present, past, etc.
A real page turner that keeps you guessing until the end. Highly Recommended.

I couldn't wait to dig into this one and get lost in a Lisa Scottoline story! It did not disappoint...I don't want to give anything way because it's a bit of a shocker.

I will admit the story starts a little confusing, jumping timelines, but it works overall. It really gives you a feel for the whole story even though one character is further in the past than the other for parts of it. Ms. Scottoline brings the story together beautifully and it's a must read for suspense readers.

I have read all your books and you do not disappoint as usual. What a thriller, did not expect the ending of the book, it was a page turner, shocking ending. Loved it and recommend it.
Thank you netgalley and Lisa Scottoline for the opportunity.

You can expect the unexpected when you pick up a Lisa Scottoline novel. There is almost always a twist that you just weren't expecting and that is definitely true about After Anna. While I definitely really enjoyed this story, my only complaint is that I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. I just wanted a bit more of the story before it went to the epilogue. Unfortunately I can't say more without spoiling the story but well worth the read!

I LOVE Lisa Scottoline and this book didn't disappoint!!! I devoured this nail biting Thriller in one sitting. Can't wait to see what Scottoline delivers next!

While this book started out fairly strong, the premise seems to be the same as many others that I have read lately. The moving back and forth between then and now is starting to get a bit stale in story telling. The mash up at the end seemed forced, like the author was trying to hard to find a "twist". Predictable and a bit disappointing.

Wow! This one had my pulse racing throughout....and the twist had me gasping out loud! The plot was riveting and I swear you will never guess the twist that comes. Maggie lost custody of her baby daughter to her then husband, Florian. This was due to postpartum psychosis after the birth of her daughter, Anna. Maggie remarries, to Noah who has a young son, Caleb. At the age of 16, Anna reaches out to Maggie after the death of her father, and Magie, of course, is beyond happy to have her daughter back. Next thing we know is that Anna accuses Noah of sexual abuse, then Anna is murdered and Noah is on trial for her murder. Ms Scottoline has outdone herself with this one. It is not to be missed!

A cleverly written courtroom drama/suspense story from Lisa Scottoline. Written in two POV's, before forward and after backwards until the two collide make this book very fast paced and entertaining. Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? With well fleshed out believable characters, an interesting court case and a great twist, this book was a very good read.

I’d like to thank Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of After Anna. I have always enjoyed reading Lisa Scottoline’s stories, and this one was just as pleasurable. I consider the genre to be classified as a thriller that centers around a domestic family. The storyline held my interest and was completely believable. I did suspect quite early on the truth about the daughter. I just didn’t know all the details and how things would play out. The part that I didn’t care for was all the judicial scenes but without them you wouldn’t have been able to get the entire picture. Overall, I feel it was a very enjoyable, entertaining story and would definitely recommend it to other readers.

This is one of the best books that I've read in 2017. It's a smart, intriguing mystery, and I could not put this book down until I finished it.

I started reading and I realized that the book is written in multiple POV in multiple timelines. I do not like books like this and stopped reading. I like Ms Scotoline's books however, in every case with every writer I consider this kind of interwoven distinct voice writing to be a lazy way to write a book. To test this idea, read each thread as one chapter and you will see how weak each is.

I am not planning to review this book online.

It was a good beach read. Not Scottoline at her best, but still entertaining.

Have been a Scottoline fan from the start and once again, her stand-alone thriller After Anna did not disappoint. She touches on some almost taboo topics, like post partum depression and human trafficking, much like her other stand alones. After Anna earns a solid 4.5 stars from me - I would have awarded 5 stars, but the twists at the end came so quickly that I did not really absorb them and had to go back to reread a little. A few more pages in the final chapters or introducing the jaw-dropping "what just happened" a little earlier would benefit the readers. Such a complete and satisfying read - I definitely recommend After Anna for your Spring Break reading!

Good fast paced book. Had read several books by this author and have enjoyed them all. Highly recommend.

Maggie is reunited with her daughter Anna after 17 years after having to give up custody due to postpartum psychosis. A few weeks later Anna is dead and Maggie’s husband Noah is on trial for her murder. The book alternates between Noah’s trial and what happens before the murder and leading up to it through Maggie’s viewpoint. I found this to be an easy read and one that I didn’t want to put down because I really wanted to know what happened. Overall, I did enjoy the book and thought it was a pretty good thriller.

Yet, I did think the book dragged a bit at times particularly when Noah is on trial as the questioning by the prosecution seemed to be overboard at times. I skimmed through some of these sections to get to the point. Also, I think it would have been neat to have Anna’s viewpoint incorporated as well.
There are many questions and concerns I had throughout reading the book- such as how quickly things developed with Anna moving into Maggie and Noah’s home and the odd behaviors that Anna displayed at times and no one thinks for one second that she may not be who she says she is. Or how Noah is arrested on such circumstantial evidence. There were a few twists and turns towards the end, one which was predictable but the rest of them I found farfetched and they just seemed to come out of nowhere. I was disappointed in the ending.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Shocking, riveting, brilliant edge of your seat reading.The story and the characters were well developed. It is a great thriller.

I love Lisa and her writing but honestly this one was a bit confusing. I was at a pretty good pace reading until things got weird then I kind of just stopped in my tracks and skipped to the end. Once I saw the ending however I retraced my steps a little bit to find out how. It was just one of those stories that gets you drawn in but then little roadblocks are tossed at you which make you thoroughly confused and wanting more explanation. Maybe that is just me though! Definitely one to read though if you like those stop you in your tracks twist books that leave you guessing but also toy with your emotions!
