Summary: Suspense at its best
Review: A teenager and the baby she was babysitting disappear. Oh God, nothing could be more scary than that except finding the teenager dead and the baby is still missing.... This book taps the fear every mother in the world has..a child missing. Maddy Blake is the mother of a 3 year old daughter and married to a self centered husband. After getting in a car accident with another car, Maddy felt responsible to help out and invited the victims in the other car to stay at her house. A mother and her 6 month old son stay with Maddy while the mother's husband is still in the hospital. While this is going on other plots are twisting and turning. Maddy's husband gets accused of seducing one of his students and worse the police think he might be a part of the baby and babysitter's kidnapping. All the characters in the book all are related to the storyline and the climax ties together all the stories to make for a good ending.

Summary: A worthwhile read...
Review: The book does not drag, has a sufficient # of characters without being overwhelming and the plot is not overly complex. I stop short of giving it 5 stars only because of 1 overlooked detail (that of blood without giving too much away). This overlooked detail does not invalidate the suspenseful plot and its resulting finale. This was my first read of this author and I was not at all disappointed. It was also nice to see my home province of Nova Scotia mentioned in the novel.

Summary: A twisted tale of mystery & suspense!
Review: This was a great book, like all the many I have read by Patricia MacDonald. The author brings numerous characters into her book and you never can figure out how they can all be brought together until near the end of the book. It's not easy to guess "who done it" which is what I like in a good book.
