About this audiobook

In this action-packed thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Midwife Murders, a mother-to-be sees the women in her social circle start to disappear—and she could be next . . .

Emily Atkinson leads a complicated life in New York City. She’s a successful marketing executive who lives in a luxury apartment and enjoys a glamorous existence until she lands in the hospital with a double diagnosis: she parties too much—and she’s pregnant. Her nurse and new best friend, Betsey, helps Emily rediscover how much she loves morning runs in the park and quiet nights at home. But as a series of women in her wealthy social circles go missing, Emily’s pregnancy becomes decidedly high-risk.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a huge James Patterson fan and it takes a lot for me to leave a negative review but this book was so insanely incredibly boring!! Incredibly boring!! I usually try to find longer books to get my money's worth but I lost money on this book as I skipped through at least 75% of incredibly boring nonstop ramblings just to get to the end of it.

Found it a little boring and predictable. The big reveal twist ending seemed rushed and nothing really makes sense. Just wasn't for me.

excellent narrator. we'll written with a nice twist at the end
