When I Wasn't Watching

Christina Baltimore 

I received When I Wasn’t Watching from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
 
 Eight years prior Lucy’s son was murdered by a teenager. That teenager is release and given a new identity. Lucy wants to know who and where he is now. The officer who was on the case of her murdered son brings her older son home after he is caught shoplifting. Lucy has a very tough strained relationship with her eldest son. She is still trying to cope with the loss of her murdered son when the killer is released and given his new identity. Another child goes missing and Matt is the investigator. They believe it is the same person who murdered Lucy’s son eight years earlier. Lucy and Officer Matt are attracted to each other and this develops into a relationship. 

The readers experiences the grief and loss associated with Lucy losing her son and how it affected her elder son’s life direction as he is dealing with the grief and guilt. This is a very emotional book. I gave it 4 stars.
