I couldn't get over the style of MOST WANTED, which I think of as immature. It's a style I used to like when I was a teenager, so my review of MOST WANTED would probably have been different then.
If you like her style, for you MOST WANTED deserves a slightly higher rating than I give it. Still, though, it's missing the thrills that Scottoline books normally begin at the beginning or close to it. If you're looking for thrills, you can skip a couple hundred pages that describe the lean and muscular husband, the wonderful best friend, trips to the doctor's office, disagreements between husband and wife, and manipulation by an innocent or guilty man.
After a couple hundred pages, although thrills begin during an investigation into that man's innocence or guilt, I was so sick of the stupid main character allowing herself to be manipulated, it was too late for me. Whether it turned out she was right or wrong, she did one stupid thing after another so I didn't even care by then.
I loved this book about infertility and donor issues. I thought it was interesting and I read it quickly because I had to know what happened to the main character. now I want to read all her books great book club pick!
Christine and her husband are desperate for a baby. Unable to conceive, they decide to use a donor. Two months pass and Christine is pregnant. But one day she is shocked to see a young blonde man on the TV news being arrested for a series of brutal murders. He bears an undeniable resemblance to her donor. Christine feels she must delve deeper to find out if he is indeed her donor. What would you do if the biological father of your unborn child was a serial killer? A major thread in this book is infertility and the issue of testing for sperm donors. Good information. but I did find the character of Christine unbelievable. Seriously......you would pick up everything and go to a prison to meet the arrested alleged killer in an attempt to find out if he was innocent and our donor? then you play detective because you do believe he is innocent? And her husbands reaction to all of what is going on is over the top.
