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.

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!

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!
