A great 'read in a day' debut suspense mystery novel.
If I was a much younger woman with a small child or pregnant, this book would have scared the daylights out of me.
NetMommy is an online support forum for mothers or mothers-to-be. People are not as anonymous as they think they are .. especially when they're doling out personal information in small doses over a long period of time.
Sergeant Clair Boyle, who is pregnant herself, is investigating the death of a young woman. As it so happens, someone has already called and potentially identified her as one of the 'mommies'. And then another 'mommie' is found ...supposedly a victim of suicide, although her husband and family do not report anything wrong in the days leading up to her death.
Someone is gathering the information from the forum and impersonating the missing women ... then leading them to their deaths.
The book started out as interesting, but I kept expecting it to get better .. to develop into something suspense-ful. It didn't. The characters seemed like cardboard .. except for Clair. The ending did surprise me, but it was almost anti-climatic.
