April 15, 2018 I received this most recent novel in the Dana Cohen mystery series as a gift from publicist Wiley Saichek in return for this honest review.
The fate of two infants takes center stage in this book -- the one who has been kidnapped and the one who is about to be born. This means the suspense is doubled. Readers will worry about whether the kidnapped child will be restored alive and healthy to his parents, but another grave matter of concern is whether Dana's investigation will endanger her and the baby she carries.
Dana must juggle the demands of her pregnancy, her wedding and the kidnapping investigation simultaneously. I think that this represents the superwoman syndrome. Dana wants to be a wife, mother and use her professional skills . This is a common expectation for 21st century women. Some woman readers may feel that Dana's experiences reflect their lives to a certain extent. Others may think that Dana asks too much of herself.
