Are there things worse than death? Well Katherine Howell has shown us that perhaps there are. The plot is a fast paced race against time to find the kidnapped son of a paramedic.
Having been called out to a birth that went horribly wrong, she believes that the patients husband has taken her son in retribution. But, there are more elements to this story which Sophie will learn to her peril, and which keeps the reader guessing until the end.
The writing style is simple, with no wasted words or waffle. The settings and characters are realistic, but I did think that Howell was merciless towards one character and although Sophie's extreme actions show just how far a mother will go to protect her child let's hope in the real world someone with Sophie's training would not really take matters into their own hands in opposition to the police investigation.
This is a quick read, but if you enjoy the medical-crime genre you will be impressed with this debut novel from a home grown author.
