Nobody’s Baby is an engaging and eerie thriller about loss, control, and the desperate edge of human emotions.

I really tried but I just couldn't like this book.
It had real promise at first and a good idea for a story, but it became clear very early on that the baby was who we all thought she was and there was no red herring or anything to suggest otherwise. Then when we did finally get to meet the mother there was a bit of a nothing event and the ending was rushed, again all quite predictable.
The way it was written was also unhelpful, quite a few spelling mistakes and missing words even which is unforgivable! I can't imagine how that got through? More than that though was just that it jumped from name to name,event to event with no obvious link between the 2. It read more as a series of random scenes rather than a coherent narrative.
So yeah not a book I would recommend, just an annoyance to get through basically.

When I first started reading nobody’s baby I really enjoyed the first part of the book of her finding the baby and my expectations went high I thought this is going to be great book but as the story goes on I seemed to lose interest and thought the story dragged on abit.
The only reason I continued reading was because I really wanted to find out what happened to the baby and her parents

Izzy wakes in the middle of the night to find a baby left on her doorstep, the only clue to who the mother might be is a note attached giving the baby's name. Considering a myriad of possibilities from a random abandonment to a child fathered by her ex-boyfriend, Izzy calls the police and then goes on a mission to find an old friend, however, she puts herself and the baby in danger.
This book read very much like an episode of Tales of The Unexpected, that used to air in the late 70s/early 80s. I was hooked into the story but I did find it a little predictable. The version I read from Kindle Unlimited was littered with typos and errors and desperately needed a decent proofread. However over all it was an interesting read but far from exemplary of the best in the taut psychological thriller genre.

A very eerie book though a completely plausible story.

Didn't particularly like the story and I have never read a book with so many spelling mistakes.
