This is the first Kellerman book I have read. I knew I was jumping into a character series, so I knew that I would be at a lost sometimes about previous events. But nothing about these characters inspired to want to go back and investigate these events. The "main" story - about a baby found in a dumpster had alot of promise but it fell short. The mother was soon discovered, by Cindy talking to a high school class of pregrant girls. Now these girls are street hard, tatooed, young and alot of attitude so how do they notice a girl that may or may not be pregrant that sits on a bench. The whole story just falls into place - too many people that would never talk just seem to want to tell Cindy everything. The sub-plots are as pat in that they provide no challenge.Sorry, to say that I will not backtrack to see why Cindy and her dad are so emotionally distressed nor do I really care what happens in their future.
