Claudia Morgan-Brown leads a privileged life in Edgbaston with her husband, James, and two stepsons. Heavily pregnant, with a busy job and James at sea a lot, she needs help with the twins. Their ad for a live in nanny is answered by Zoe, who has impeccable references and seems ideal. Zoe has a secret though, and a deep desire for a baby of her own.
Lorraine Fisher is a Detective Sergeant currently hunting a killer who targets heavily pregnant women and cuts the baby from them. She’s working with her husband Adam, another cop. Their marriage is shaky and the gruesome crimes aren’t helping to restore it.
This is very well plotted and the characters come to life. As the story unfolds you see how everything is interconnected and it s very clever. There’s a real twist in the ending of this gripping thriller. I was expecting one story and got another, better one. I love being surprised at the ending as I did not expect how the story wound up. The last line was chilling and I urge people to read it. If you enjoy physiological thrillers and authors such as Tess Gerritson, Jilliane Hoffman, and Karin Slaughter, you’ll love this book.
