After Anna by author Lisa Scottoline will have you on the edge trying to guess who killed Anna! This is a family drama with suspense and mystery. I do not want to post spoilers but the twists in this story are thrilling. The plot of the book is set in the courtroom as Dr. Noah Alderman is waiting for the verdict to be read which will determine if he goes free or goes to prison for the murder of his step-daughter, Anna. The format of the story goes in reverse as the events are remembered. If you are reading the book or Kindle format, this is great, but if you are listening with Audible or a TTS reader, it gets confusing.
Maggie is married to Dr. Noah Alderman and has a very happy family life with Noah and his son Caleb. Maggie had been married before when she was younger, but six months after her beautiful baby daughter was born, she had a breakdown with an extreme postpartum depression and psychosis. She lost physical custody of her daughter, Anna, when she was deemed unfit to care for the baby. Her former husband Florian took baby Anna and went to France. Now seventeen years later Maggie receives a call from Anna and she wants to meet her mom! Maggie is ecstatic with joy but also has misgivings about how Anna will react to the information that Maggie had been in a mental institution for the depression and psychosis after giving the baby to Florian years ago.
Now the book really gets interesting and the layers of mystery start to unfold about Anna, Maggie, and Noah. Hold on to your seat as you read because it gets a bit bumpy along the way!
No, I just cannot tell you more...but read for yourself and be surprised!
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
