I think it's truly such a fascinating story and I think it's more impressive bc I did some research on actual black market surrogacy and people smuggling cases that were the talk of the international media at the time of its publishing. In fact, I have have reread The Night Ferry so many times I know most of the plot by heart. Have been reduced to anticipating each new book as they're published like other fans of many years.and rereading his others, including The Night Ferry. discovered him less than 2 years ago and in less than a year later I had read Suspect-Shatter and all of his non-series individual novels. This may be a 1st among Robotham fans, and I do love every Joe O'Loughlin, I love every single book he's ever wrote. I'll keep reading Robotham, hoping for more stories with the psychologist. The narrator was good in Alicia's voice, but not very skilled with male voices. This naiveté didn't work for me, but there was enough of a good story to keep me engaged.

She too often assumes she will be believed and taken seriously by males in the police world, thinking they'll do the right thing, when in fact, the usual self-interest reigns supreme. He has her behaving like a naively brazen provocateur of bad guys who'd likely kill her instantly. But he wrote her into many scenes requiring too much willing suspension of disbelief for me. She's bright, incisive, aggressive and well trained as a DC. The protagonist is both good and annoying (to me) as Robotham portrays her.

The story tells a grim truth about human trafficking, baby selling, and attendant ugly human realities, and a woman sikh D.C.'s effort to wind her way through the knots of a complex set of agendas. Once into it, I came to enjoy Robotham's writing again. It is taking place some time after Suspect, with Ruis from The Suspect, now retired and friendly ex-colleagues with Alicia, the feisty protagonist. I read The Suspect first, and chose this too hastily, hoping for another O'Loughlin book. Well written but not a Joe O'Loughlin book.
