"I had a little trouble with this concept at first. Having been an infertility patient, I know that most patients wouldn't care where the sperm came from. So I thought Lisa was capitalizing on the "everything has to be perfect with my baby" movement that seems to have run wild in the US. But there was more to this story (as always with her). She does a good job with the emotions of a pregnant woman and all the stress that hormones can cause. The plot twist near the end is certainly not one I would have expected. Overall, I liked the book. "

Quotes

“In novel after novel, Lisa Scottoline has proven herself a master of stories that combine familial love―especially that of mothers for their children―with nail-biting stories of spirited everywomen bent on finding the truth. Her new novel, Most Wanted, demonstrates again her skill with this kind of domestic suspense tale.”
— Washington Post -
“What if you used a sperm bank to become pregnant, and you discovered that your donor might be a serial killer? After Christine and Marcus Nilsson engage the services of a sperm bank, that’s exactly what happens. Lisa Scottoline takes us on another wild ride, and Julia Whelan’s narration convinces us to hang on. Whelan creates completely credible male and female characters through pitch differences and complex vocal textures. She effectively portrays deep-voiced Marcus, raspy-throated Griff, and the smooth-talking accused murderer, Zach. Whelan’s portrayal of Christine sounds, by turns, terrified and brave. Scottoline deals with issues of ethics, privacy, regulation of the sperm bank industry, and the ways couples can be torn apart by uncertainty…Whelan makes the listening worthwhile.”
