I remember enjoying this book when I read it a decade ago and rating it a 4*. Unfortunately knocking it down to a 3* for this current read, as I find myself disliking the protagonist - she's constantly wailing and making smart remarks, it became quite tiring to read through. Also found the actions of the villains quite illogical, I don't see why or how Nurse Hemingway moved into two locations, helped Freni so much even after they'd gotten the baby, made friends with Susannah, and basically seemed able to be everywhere doing everything except kidnapping babies
