A baby is snatched from outside a Birmingham newsagents and DI Sarah Quinn is called in to investigate. Reporter Caroline King covers the case and will stop at nothing to get the story.

My Thoughts:

I saw a report on our local news about some sort of a writing group and Maureen Carter was on there. I had never heard of her but the report said that she had wrote 12 books so I went to my local library to get one to try. The cover appealed to me and I thought she looked like an author similar to Martina Cole.

On a positive I liked the idea of two women who clash and don’t really like each other and the reader will find out why. I’m afraid that is it with positive. The rest of the book I felt was bland, not realistic at times and for the content needed to be a lot more gritty. The story was average and could have been better with a weak ending.

I’m afraid that there wasn’t enough in this book for me to rush out and get the next one in the series. Overall good ideas but weak. (
