I've actually read this before, many years ago, but that didn't detract from the story, especially as the "twist" wouldn't come as a surprise to any regular reader of this genre.

Barclay is always great at creating tension and believable characters and this was no different.

A young woman who shouldn't have a baby suddenly has a baby, a woman is found murdered, her husband was in the city at the time.  What happened, who is the baby?

A great read and an author I always enjoy
