This begins with a school
counselor’s mission to adopt a high school girl’s unborn baby. The problem was
to convince everyone on it—the girl, the mother, and her husband.
It seemed Jo could finally get
her baby. But the elation was short-lived with the sudden news of another
teacher’s disappearance. The next one that goes missing is the father of the
unborn baby. Soon, both people turn up dead. Was this a double-suicide? A
murder-suicide? Or what?
The story might’ve taken a
while to get going, but when it does, it really grabs you.
Months later, it seems
everyone has gotten over the suicides of the teacher and student, especially
the significant others they left behind. Eventually, Jo begins to have
suspicions about the biological mother of her baby. This turns out to be a
pretty long story, but its mystery still compels you to read on. Not quite as
thrilling and suspenseful as other books by this author, but this was still a
good read.
