What a ride! I thoroughly enjoyed this.
It focuses on the ridiculous, draconian American anti-abortion laws and how the legislators' stupidity completely dismiss the health (never mind the rights) of women at risk in pregnancy. Fanatical, misguided pro-life groups go to extreme, murderous lengths to prevent any pregnant mother, no matter her age or health, getting an abortion. (See About the Book below.)
Shocking, but gosh, what an exciting, gripping plot for a novel it makes! It's the sort of book that makes for want-to-go-bed-early to get stuck into night-time reading!
I'm not familiar with the author, so this is a first for me. I definitely intend to read more by her. Good writing, good characters and pretty good editing (but, it's Laura Ashley, not Laura Ashely!) are the most important boxes ticked. I do hope Lizzie and Murphy get more cases…chalk and cheese though they are, they make a very engaging PI partnership.
