I received this book as part of the Goodreads First Reads program. I am a fan of Lisa Scottoline, and have read most of her books. In this story, a woman with a young daughter and a fiance suddenly gets sucked back into the affairs of her ex-husband, when he dies, and one of his daughters contacts the woman, Jill, to let her know and also to ask for her help proving that her father was murdered. The former stepdaughter, Abby, shows up one night drunk to give Jill the news, and from that point on, she is involved with Abby and looking into her ex-husband's death.

This is happening at a time when she is also concerned about one of her patients (Jill is a pediatrician), a baby who keeps getting sick, and whose mother thinks he just needs tubes place in his ears because her family members have convinced her that will take care of it. Meanwhile, at home, Megan - Jill's young daugher - and Jill's fiance, Sam, are facing their own challenges. Sam in particular tries to convince Jill to leave things alone and pay more attention to her own daughter, rather than two stepdaughters from a previous marriage where her husband walked out on her with the stepdaughers. As the story goes on, Jill and Sam grow apart, Abby's sister Victoria tries to keep Jill out of their lives, and Jill begins to have serious problems with her office manager at work. Towards the end of the book., the FBI even shows up!

I liked this book well enough, but not as much as I have liked some of Lisa Scottoline's other work. I did find the relationship between Jill and her former stepdaughters to be interesting, though, since they did have feelings for each other.

The book is well-written, and the characters are interesting and entertaining enough, but it just didn't have the appeal for me that a lot of the others have had.
