A debut novel that was filled with turns and twists. I always thought I knew what was going on - but I was wrong here and there! Anne and Marco share a common wall with Cynthia and Graham. Anne and Cynthia were good friends but the relationship has cooled since Anne became a mother to baby Cora. Cynthia and Graham can't stand babies. So when Anne and Marco are invited over for a dinner party they hire a sitter - problem solved. Except that the sitter cancels at the last minute. Marco convinces Anne that it will be perfectly fine to leave the baby at home with the monitor turned on and the two of them taking turns to go check every half-hour.
It was 1:30 in the morning when the parents (who have heavily imbibed) return home to a front door that is ajar. And no baby Cora. Thus begins a nightmare with the police trying to find the baby, the parents trying to ignore the directives of the police, and the public being hateful toward the mother who would leave her baby alone. A good psychological thriller!
