Thriller Psychological
MOST WANTED by Lisa Scottoline is a story with an unimaginable
dilemma about a sperm donor who is a suspected serial killer.
Her books are always filled with legal drama and questions of
what would you do. In reading this novel you will get a
lesson in how the sperm and egg donor programs work. I tried
to imagine what I would do if I discovered that the child that
I am carrying may be the child of a serial killer. Christine and Marcus Nilsson have been desperately trying to
have a baby and after many tests discover that they cannot
conceive. They have gone to numerous specialists and finally
make the decision to use a sperm donor. Two months into her pregnancy Christine sees a news report
about a young blond man who is arrested for murdering three
nurses. Christine is alarmed because the suspect looks a lot
like their sperm donor. Her husband Marcus originally
dismisses her concerns. Once the evidence reveals there may be some validity to her
concerns, Christine becomes obsessed with finding the truth.
This obsession will cause a rift between Christine and Marcus
and hurtful words will be exchanged. Marcus has some issues
to deal with because of learning that he is infertile. Even
though Christine desperately wants to have a child she takes
some unbelievable risks in order to discover the truth.
During her investigation another murder is committed and her
life along with her unborn child are put in jeopardy. The conclusion had me on the edge of my seat leading up to the
truth. At one point Marcus had become nonexistent. Christine
was on her own seeking to find the answers about whether their
sperm donor is a serial killer. When things become dangerous
Christine and Marcus both learn a lesson in what is really
important. MOST WANTED will cause you to do some serious thinking about
what you would do and how you would handle this situation if
you were in this position. An excellent, thought-provoking
read!
