    The birth of their baby girl has filled Rina Lazarus and her husband, LAPD Homicide Detective Peter Decker, with joy mingled with sorrow, since complications have ensured that they can have no more children. But the situation is grim at the hospital, which has been devastated by severe budget cutbacks and staff shortages. And when a respected nurse vanishes along with a newborn from the nursery, Peter and Rina fear for the safety of their own precious child.

    Story
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Too much material that dragged the story out needlessly. A real bore and disappointment given Kellerman's reputation. It felt like someone had taken a short story and puffed it up until it could be sold as a novel.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Not Kellerman!


    What about Mitchell Greenberg’s performance did you like?

    His articulation is excellent, as is his pacing. Too bad he didn't have better material to work with.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Concept was good, but the execution, in my opinion, turned it into a poor potboiler.
