The Child

I very much enjoyed The Child by Fiona Barton which is set in England.  The remains of an infant are found on a building site of a new housing development.  Police and journalist, Kate, believe there may be a connection with the disappearance of a baby from a hospital decades ago.  We see the story develop from the different perspectives of the main characters in their own chapters.  Angela, whose baby was abducted; Kate, the journalist who pursues the story; Emma, a young woman with a mysterious past; Jude, Emma's mother, who seemed blind to Emma's pain.  It's takes a long time to realise the truth as the reader follows the investigation.  Recommended. 41/2/5
