Publisher's Weekly Review

Christine and Marcus Nilsson, the Connecticut couple at the heart of this uneven standalone from bestseller Scottoline (Every Fifteen Minutes), have decided to use a sperm-bank donor after three years struggling to have a baby. No. 3319's identity is anonymous, but, like many donors, he submitted two photographs-one as a child, one as an adult. While on early leave from her job as an elementary school teacher, pregnant Christine becomes convinced that the donor is Zachary Jeffcoat, who's being called "the Nurse Murderer" in a TV newscast after his arrest. Christine begins her own investigation to determine if the biological father of her child is a serial killer, even if it puts her life and her marriage at risk. The plot is strongest when focusing on the trials of a couple desperate for a child and the psychological ramifications of using a sperm donor. But too often the story sinks to the melodramatic, unredeemed by Scottoline's usual verve for character. Agent: Molly Friedrich, Friedrich Literary Agency. Author tour; 400,000-copy first printing.

Library Journal Review

Happily married, Christine and Marcus Nilsson tried fruitlessly for a year to grow their family. After visiting a specialist and determining the source of their fertility problems, they decide to get pregnant with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. Though difficult, this decision proves successful, and Christine is soon pregnant. At her good-bye party at the elementary school where she works, Christine finds her attention drawn to a breaking news story on the capture of an alleged serial killer in a nearby town. When the suspect's face flashes onto the screen, Christine is horrified to realize he looks exactly like their donor. Thus begins Christine's desperate search to determine if she is carrying the biological child of a psychopath. Verdict Scottoline (Corrupted; Every Fifteen Minutes) has mastered the art of writing the story of an average mom forced into extraordinary action. Her relatable characters inspire empathy, which lets readers find themselves sucked into typically unbelievable situations. As has come to be expected, this is a page-turner that will satisfy the Scottoline faithful.-Madeline Dahlman, Deerfield P.L., IL © Copyright 2016.
