Look for Me by Lisa Gardner

I was 93 pages into this when I realized it was a sequel.  To be honest I'm not sure if it is the 2nd or 3rd book.  I was able to read it and understand without having read the previous book(s).  However, if you've followed this blog for a while, you know I typically don't like to read books in a series as stand-alones, not do I recommend doing so for my readers.  

All that being said...

This was a fairly enjoyable mystery whodunit.  It will most definitely keep you guessing right until the very end.  It is a sad story of the failures of the foster care system, the family court system, and the justice system.  It is NOT an easy read on the emotions.

Roxy Baez takes her 2 elderly dogs for a walk.  Her mother, soon to be step-father, younger sister and brother are shot dead in their home while she is out.  Juanita Baez lost her children to foster care as an alcoholic for a year.  During that year, Roxy and Lola suffered terrible abuse in their foster home, while their brother Manny had a perfect foster family.  When the family is reunited, Juanita starts asking questions about the personality changes in her daughters.  

That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil too much.

Look for this on display with our new books next week!
