Convoluted sudser about the search for the mother of a newborn abandoned on a North Carolina beach, 20+ years after the fact. At times an engaging read, and Chamberlain lays out plenty of red herrings. Most readers will be âclose, but no cigarâ with their guesses. It's the conclusion where things go from unlikely to âoh, come on,â as coincidence piles on coincidence and plot threads get tied up in a tidy bow.

Can't really give this one anything higher than a C
