After Anna by Lisa Scottoline FIC Sco

Maggie has not had a great life.  She was married with a baby named Anna. But when Anna was six months old Maggie's marriage is over and worse of all her ex gets full custody of Anna. Eventually Maggie's life improves when she meets a pediatric allergist named Noah.  Noah is a widower who has a son and Maggie becomes the perfect person to fill the void in their lives. And then one day Maggie receives a phone call from her daughter!  Anna, in high school now, is in a boarding school but her life has turned upside down.  Her father, step-mother and two step-brothers have died in a plane crash in Europe where they lived.  With her father gone Anna wants to reconnect with her mother.  Maggie is ecstatic and Noah is very supportive. At the initial meeting between mother and daughter Anna is clear that she wants to come live with Maggie.   But it is not all roses.  Anna is used to spending money (lots of money) when and where she wants.  She is manipulative and doesn't like rules.  Tensions mount as Anna makes accusations against her new step-dad who leaves the family home.  When Anna is found murdered all evidence points to Noah.   Another great book by ScottolinClick for availability.
