Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica

This is a new author to me, and I really enjoyed her writing.  This book is a great psychological thriller.  You don’t have a clue what is going to happen or what happened until the author reveals more details as the story unfolds until the bitter end.  The story is told from the three point of views of the main characters.  Willow, Heidi, and Chris all tell their parts of the story, how they are feeling, what’s happening with them . I enjoy books written in this manner.

Heidi is a kind-hearted woman who is always taking in strays, so when she spots Willow (a homeless teenager with a baby), she takes her into home and offers her aid and kindness.   Heidi’s husband, Chris, and daughter, Zoe, are not too impressed.  Who is Willow?  Has Heidi done the right thing?  You wonder as you learn about the past history of Willow and the baby.   There are many underlying themes to the story as we learn the past of all the main characters.  I didn’t anticipate some of the twists.  If you enjoy thrillers, this is definitely a good choice.
