'COSY CRIME AT ITS FINEST' JANICE HALLETT

I know people say that your hormones can play havoc with your emotions while pregnant - but in this instance I was more inclined to blame the murder.

When Alice and Joe find themselves unexpectantly pregnant with their first child, they decide to be responsible, switching the dangers of London for the safety of countryside living . . . though the dead body at their local antenatal class has them rethinking their life choice.

With everyone in the class considered a suspect and with little to do until the baby arrives, Alice sets out to solve the mystery and clear her name alongside her new friends. Between the discovery of a shady commune and the unearthing of a mysterious death years earlier, Alice is soon in way over her head.

Can she uncover the truth before tragedy strikes again . . . or her waters break?
