About this listen

DS Whitney Walker wants a promotion, but it’s hard when she’s trying to balance motherhood with a career.

When a newborn baby is kidnapped from the local hospital, she draws on her skills as a mother to help. Despite being ordered not to, and when the leads are going nowhere, Walker enlists the help of a local journalist who’s convinced it’s the work of an international baby smuggling ring. Walker’s plan backfires and she fears they’re running out of time.

it was okay, not sure what year this is set in but the maternity units are very secure now there is cctv at doorways and people are buzzed in and out. Also hierarchy of nursing incorrectly described ....and most hospitals have their own communication teams for dealing with the press so that's not correct either. storyline was okay but the poor research if it is set in present day was poor and was irksome

it's okay ....

This is a good story, given extra depth by Clare Corbett’s performance. I want to read more in this series.

Clare Corbett is a wonderful narrator

I started reading book 1 and saw this short story labelled book 0. This is the first outing of the then DS Whitney Walker. Here we see her balancing motherhood with wanting to work through the police ranks which is tough as a woman in an industry dominated by men.

Whitney is on an emotional case of a baby that is kidnapped, in this particular case as she is a mother she taps into her experience to help her case. Whilst doing so a very insistent journalist suggests there is more to the case. Whitney superiors warn her against it but Whitney is not the type to follow orders, will it backfire….

It was ok but so many leads went nowhere, and nothing tied together. Solved in a few moments at the end in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the book.
