The clown suddenly appeared beside a group of kids at the candy floss van, bringing Kira to an abrupt halt. Then it began. The rapid heartbeat, the burst of perspiration, the gasping breath. The baby lurched inside her, as though sharing her panic. When the body of a pregnant teenager is found in a Hall of Mirrors with the full-term foetus surgically removed, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is called in to assist the police.

EadieB Suspicion falls on Jeff Coulter, a psychotic inmate at a nearby hospital whose hobby is making Reborns ' chillingly realistic baby dolls intended for bereaved parents or those unable to conceive. But how could he have orchestrated the murder from a secure mental facility? The investigation leads to a group of teenage girls who seem to have all got pregnant at the same time. 2y
EadieB Then a Reborn doll is discovered near the crime scene and a second girl from the group is found dead.. Creepy, compelling and heart-stoppingly tense, The Reborn is Lin Anderson's most powerful novel yet.
This was a good book but a disturbing read. Reborn babies being hand made and babies taken from the womb of women. We found out the truth about McNab which is a nice replacement for Sean. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Bit of a mixed back. Struggled to get into this one for the first third but then it took off for me and couldn‘t put it down for the rest of the book. Difficult themes but ended up being one of the better ones in the series with a few surprises along the way and setting other storylines up for future book. Proving to be an excellent series. @EadieB @Tove_Reads

Wow… What did I just read???? Insanity! What a roller coaster of a read. The case itself is so complicated, and strange, and wrong in so many ways. People make me sick! And McNab 😲 This book takes your breath away, and messes with the reader‘s head. Highly recommended!

Andrew65 That‘s for tomorrow. 2y
