it was amazing
bookshelves: psychological-thrillers

Incredible. I could gush over this non-stop but I will let the rest of the review speak for itself. This was my first introduction - and will not be my last - into Michael Robotham novels.

Meet Agatha: Mid-thirties, wants to settle down, and more than anything in the entire world.. wants.. no.. needs.. a baby.

Meet Meghan: Wife to Jack, mother to two beautiful children, Lucy and Lachlan, with another one on the way. She has a picture-perfect life. She has a life that Agatha has always dreamed of. A life Agatha will do anything to get.

This book blew me out of the water. It was engaging, dramatic, and scandalous. It might have been a little unrealistic, but I feel that the best of stories are. Suspending a reader's belief is an author's job and Michael Robotham did an excellent job at that. This book was incredibly fast-paced and plot-driven. I would recommend this to fans of Harlan Coben or Sharon Bolton.

Yes, it was definitely a winner! Thanks Susanne!


Melissa Nice review. I felt the same way, Crumb! This has remained my favorite thriller of the year. I went on to read Life or Death and it was just as gripping as this one!

Thanks, Sharon!


Jennifer Turner (JensPageTurners) Loved this one as well. Robotham does an excellent job of getting into a pregnancy and child consumed want-to-be-mother's brain (Aggie), impressive for a male author.

Jennifer, I was thinking the SAME thing! Male author.. obsessed want-to-be mother? WHAT?!? Crazy right? This was my first book my Michael Robotham and if this was any indication of what his other books have to hold, then I will be reading them all!
