My fourth novel by MHC - she has quickly become a favourite.

'The cradle will fall' is a fast paced murder mystery. Falling victim to a minor road accident, the main protagonist, prosecutor Katie DeMaio is forced to stay overnight at the hospital. Under the influence of sedatives, she glimpsed a man loading a woman in the back of a car. But she is unsure if it's real. The main antagonist Dr. Edgar Highley suspected that someone saw him and he went on a murder spree to protect his secrets and reputation.

This book is a page-turner and full of suspense. All the characters had bits of clues which in the end came together to expose the killer.

As for the other characters, medical examiner Richard Carroll knew the suicide was odd and followed a trail which ultimately exposed the killer, his relationships with Katie though felt a bit forced. Airline captain Chris Lewis was having an extramarital affair but you can't really blame him as his wife Vangie was an insufferable brat. Edna was fine but she loves gossiping and alcohol a bit too much. Molly and Bill was the comfort duo and last but not least Maureen and Anna's tale was heartbreaking.

The story is captivating even when the concept of abortion to forced fertility was creepy.
