The book is "Until You're Mine" by Samantha Hayes.
This book is told from the perspectives of 3 different people: Claudia Morgan-Brown, Zoe Harper and DI Lorraine Fischer.
The book begins with James and Claudia Brown's search for a nanny to help a pregnant Claudia take care of twins Noah and Oliver and soon-to-be baby sister, while James is off with the Navy. In enters Zoe Harper, who seems like the world's perfect nanny. She comes with glowing recommendations, has studied Montessori method and has traveled. But, unbeknownst to the Browns, Zoe has a strange life that she has left behind, including trying to have/obtain a baby for her former flatmate, the eccentric Cecelia.
Zoe is found snooping amongst paperwork locked away in James' study, including papers pertaining to the inheritance James received from his dead first wife. It leaves one to wonder how far she will go for a baby of her own.
Meanwhile, pregnant women are turning up dead, with their babies ripped from the womb. Married detectives Lorraine and Adam are trying to solve these murder mysteries, while simultaneously dealing with home issues caused by Adam's infidelity.
I won't spoil the ending, but I will tell you that it completely threw me for a loop. People are not who they seem at all in this book. The way that all of the characters in this book are intertwined throughout the story is intriguing. All of the characters seem to have more to them than meets the eye. Each has a unique personality and story all their own.
Overall this book was written very well (in fact most days I couldn't put it down). It does get graphic at some points, but nothing that most people can't handle. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
