Come Home by Lisa Scottoline
3.0
I won this book as a FirstRead.
In Come Home, Jill is shocked when her ex-stepdaughter Abby shows up at her house one night, drunk and claiming that her dad was murdered. Jill's natural reaction is to jump in and help Abby and her sister, Victoria, stepping back into her role as their stepmom. However, Jill's fiance, Sam, is less than thrilled about the girls showing back up in Jill's life. Jill decides to help Abby out and look into whether her dad's death was a murder and focuses on it so much that she doesn't give the attention she needs to her daughter, her fiance, and her work.
The story itself was very exciting; I didn't want to put the book down so that I could find out whether Jill's ex-husband had been murdered and if so, why. However, I did not find any of the women in the book very likeable. Jill seemed to think that rules didn't apply to her. I did like Sam, though; his character seemed the most realistic.
In the end, things worked out as happily as possible, and I was satisfied with the ending.
