In the hands of a stellar writer, this book would have earned five stars. The premise is compelling...the legal adoption of a kidnapped child...it examines the definition of motherhood, the love mothers have for their children, and the horrors of losing a child.

If you are taking a trip this summer, this is a very good audiobook to take along. 9 hours of suspense that is about an adoptive parent's biggest nightmare. I found it structured perfectly building up to a very interesting and unpredictable conclusion.

I haven't read Scottoline before, but chose this book because of the subject matter--a moral dilemma. Ellen, mom of an adopted son, sees a flier for a kidnapped boy who looks identical to her son.

The ending was a little too perfect, but overall I enjoyed this book and read it in just a few days.

This was a page-turner. It had a few twists along the way the I wasn't expecting which kept it interesting until the end. As a mother, it really made me think of what I would feel like if this happended to me. It gave me a few tears along the way, but ended well.

Totally predictable and a bit unreasonable, but I couldn't put it down.
