Thanks to NetGalley and HarperNorth for giving me an advance copy.

Ooh what a read. What a fantastic book I couldn't put it down. Very easy to read and kept me gripped

Thanks for the opportunity to review

Katie, Erica and Sue are used to being heroes, not villains, as colleagues on the labour ward, so when one of them is arrested, the others must protect and reassure the pregnant women in their care that the danger has passed.
But has this danger passed. how do you convince anyone that you are not there to harm anyone and only there to help. Eyes are looking at all staff, a trusting profession, surely one of them has not turned rouge.
A really interesting read. Not sure what I was expecting from this book but as it turns out I really did enjoy it. A gripping yet horrifying story to follow.. Really did keep me guessing and wondering.
Very well written and a book that tugs at your emotions while reading.

I feel,like I’m the odd one out with this book but I just found it too predictable. I can’t say that I bonded with any of the characters and it was so obvious what was going on almost from the beginning.

Katie is arrested for attempting to drug labouring mothers with the intent of stealing a baby. But she’s claiming innocence her colleagues Sue and Erica are devastated. They can’t understand how their close friend could do such a thing.
But soon things aren’t adding up who is the real monster and who is innocent.
Brilliant physiological thriller that had you guessing from the start. First time reading this author but will be looking out for more.

Such a good book!!! As a student midwife this had me feeling all kinds of emotions and at some points holding my breath. Highly recommend giving it a read you won't be disappointed.

Thank you to Netgalley and HarperNorth for allowing me to read and review this arc.

This book grips from the first page - which doesnt happen for me very often I absolutely could not put it down.

There are 3 POV's - but they are very easy to follow.

Ive never read a book by this author before, but I would consider reading more!

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and the publisher for approving my request to read this book.

I tore through this book at a rate of knots after quickly becoming absorbed in the story.

The Midwives is a fast paced, twisty thriller which focuses on Sue, Katie and Erica who are all midwives at the same hospital working alongside each other who become embroiled in a scandal after one is accused of drugging young mothers whilst on the wards but which one of them is telling the truth?

Gripping, suspenseful and at various points creepy with a side order of betrayal this book had everything I enjoy in a book-I've already recommended it to a friend and will continue to do so.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 24th Oct. I devoured this book in two days as I was engrossed in the plot with many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat!

The three characters Katie, Erica and Sue are all bound together after a baby is taken from the hospital and evidence points to one of the midwives.

The plot had everything from secrets, betrayal and suspense. It’s a perfect book for psychological crime thrillers alike!
