Noah and Maggie have only been married for a few years when Maggie's estranged teenage daughter calls out of the blue and wants to see her. Not having a relationship with her daughter has caused Maggie a lot of heartache over the years since she has been better, but now her ex is dead and Anna has been left alone. Her husband Noah has graciously shared his son with Maggie, but even cute little Caleb does not fill the hole in Maggie's heart. After that out-of-the-blue call, Maggie makes a trip to her daughter's boarding school and ended up bringing her home. But, that is the trouble really starts. Anna starts to accuse Noah of inappropriate behavior and Maggie doesn't know who to believe. Her husband or her daughter. When Anna turns up dead her whole world is shattered. Could her husband really be capable of murder?
After Anna is a hard-hitting mystery that is told from the viewpoints of both Maggie and Noah. The timeline jumps around which comes in the form of "Before" and "After". (Hint: that is where the title originates) Maggie and Noah seem to have a really solid relationship before Anna enters the picture. It is understandable that Maggie would jump at any chance to have Anna back in her life, but inviting her to live with them without talking to Noah is kind of a big deal in my opinion. That is when things really start to go bad. Because we get Noah's view on things before they happen (while on trial) it is very easy to get a clouded opinion of Anna, too. He thinks so little of Anna that my own opinion of her is quite poor and then I question my motives for disliking her. What *if* the twist was that Noah really did misbehave with Anna? What *if* Noah really did kill Anna. --CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - Lisa Scottoline has not written a single word that I have not liked. Her writing is smart and the topics are relevant and even somewhat hard hitting. After Anna covers both of her genres, legal and mystery in a fast-paced novel that you won't be able to put down.
