A whole book written entirely in the present tense. It does not get better from there. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many viewpoint characters to let you get attached to any of them. Like three or four novellas have been shuffled. The killer (or the writer) doesn't have the fortitude to carry through with the gore I inferred in the opening shocker scene and spends the rest of the book delivering babies and then chucking their mothers off tall buildings. And yes. As you will probably figure out by page 40, The midwife done it. If Wendy Corsi Staub sent me a check for the cost of this book AND the time I spent reading it, I would still feel taken advantage of. Blech. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0739454560, Hardcover)

The only thing that high-powered career woman Peyton Somerset misses from her otherwise enviable life is the joy of having a baby. So, after two broken engagements, she decides to stop searching for Mr. Right and opts for artificial insemination. As a single mom-to-be, she joins a support group and develops close friendships with some of the women in the group. But strange, sinister things - abductions and suicides - are thinning the ranks of her group, and not even her handsome new friend Tom Riley is able to ease her growing paranoia. Peytons fear increases when someone breaks into her apartment and leaves a Bible - with passages about unwed mothers highlighted. Clearly someone has decided that shes an unfit parent before shes even given birth...and is planning to turn Peytons dreams of motherhood into a lethal nightmare. -- From the Inside Flap
