Proving the obvious is never simple

Since you know the what from the very beginning you're left with finding out the who and confirming the why. Morgan throws in just enough plot twists and turns to keep you turning the pages. Well crafted characters and a subject that needed to be addressed. This short novel can be read in one sitting but won't easily be forgotten.

A splendid and compelling first novel, but no mystery

This novel captured my interest from the start and kept it throughout its short 244 pages. Mary Morgan explores the complex interplay of the legal and medical professions both sensitively and even-handedly. There is no mystery, because what might have been so, the death of a black child in hospital, is revealed right at the beginning, but the actions and emotions and the players, parents, nurses, doctors, lawyers, and the rest, keeps the interest level high until the last dramatic scene (not to be divulged in a review)
