No specific spoilers, but still spoilers!!!



Really liked the beginning and middle part of the book, a lot was happening, fast paced, lots of drama, but because it started of so strong I expected more of the ending, really not as cruel or sickening as expected. Had a nice plot twist tho. Overall a good read, just  really different than I expected both in the (mostly) positive sense and a little in the negative.

When cardio thoracic surgeon, Anna’s, son is abducted, she must kill a patient on the operating table to get him back or he dies instead. Her neighbour has been murdered to make sure that she knows they’re serious. 
Police Officer Rachel is assigned the neighbour’s murder case, but she can’t see beyond the missing child (who the parents haven’t reported as missing at all). 
Nurse Margot suspects that Anna meant to harm the patient, but will anybody trust her now that she’s disgraced? 

The premise of the book is great and it did start out as a page-turning thriller, however by about half way the characters seemed to be jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous, the plot was getting more convoluted and I still didn’t like any of them! Anna’s plucking was off putting and distracting, Rachel was shortsighted and repetitive and Margot was becoming a cliche for her rough upbringing. 

All in all, it was a good thriller though, just don’t expect to like any of them by the end!

An amazing book, genre of book I don't normally read but it was so well put, placed and written it made me gasp, squeal and literally jump around the room especially with the plot twist at the end, I thought it would happen earlier in the book and when it didn't I just thought they were all cool,. But I was so wrong.  (It caught me so of guard). I adored every minute of this book and I cant wait to read more books just like it.
