    Wow the ending got really chicklit sappy, everything all wrapped up in a bow and Sam’s turnaround was so fast I thought I had missed something, I even went back and re-listened to a couple chapters but I didn’t miss anything it all happened with a blink of an eye.

  • BrodartVibe's Blog | 16 Mar 2012

    While this book is a bit of a departure from Scottoline’s usual suspense-filled works, it is well done and will keep the reader entrenched.

  • Kirkus Reviews | 1 Mar 2012

    As usual with Scottoline, though, the complications are a lot more satisfying than the windup, in which reason and plausibility take a back seat to tearful family affirmations.

    I am a fan of Lisa Scottoline but this book was not one of her best...there are very few likable characters in this book.

  • Criminal Element | 10 Apr 2012

    I have read nearly all of Scottoline’s novels, and while Come Home lacks the depth and intrigue of her legal thrillers, the mother angle works.

  • The Mystery Librarian | 15 Apr 2012

    While Come Home is a bit more sentimental than those legal mystery thrillers, it is a heart-warming tale that combines fast-paced mystery with great writing.
