Mel is a doula dealing with some backlash after a client and friend's baby died last year. Mel is now pregnant and has had to move due to the harassment and threats toward her family. Mel decides she has had enough and reaches out to Alice to try to make peace about the past, While it seems like Alice is ready to move on, Mel's parents catch her in a lie. Meanwhile, Mel's new neighbor is a little too involved with her husband and daughter. This had a lot of good suspense and kept the reader guessing who was behind all the threats. Shocking ending. *It is a little tragic and may be hard for those that have lost babies.
I loved this book, but I will say, I had it figured out quite early who was behind everything. I figured out the plot, the connections between the characters, but did not figure out who would come through in the end. Mel is a doula dealing with a pregnancy, a move, and backlash from a client's baby dying. I do find it a little far-fetched that every single person believes Mel is at fault. You don't see a dr, have a home birth, and your baby is overdue by at least two weeks? You are asking for trouble. The suspense in this book is good, leading up to a great ending.
