After Anna / Lisa Scottoline / 388 pages

Maggie is a woman who developed postpartum psychosis, a severe form of postpartum depression , after the birth of her daughter Anna.  As a result she and her husband divorced when Anna was six months old and Anna's husband got sole custody of Anna.  Anna and her father moved to his native country France to live.  Anna got better after years of therapy.  Now she is happily remarried to Nathan, a widowed single father of a young boy named Caleb.  Suddenly out of the blue Maggie receives a phone call from Anna, now sixteen years old.  Anna is attending a boarding school in the United States.  Her father and his new family have just died in a private airplane crash.  Maggie and Anna set up a meeting and soon Anna leaves school to come live with Maggie, Nathan, and Caleb.  Things do not go smoothly and a few weeks later Anna is found dead and Nathan is arrested for her murder.  The story is filled with many twists.  It kept me guessing until the end!
