Four pregnant women. Three nights of pampering at an exclusive yoga retreat. One too many deadly secrets . . .

On a remote farm in the deepest Devonshire countryside, four pregnant women arrive at an exclusive yoga retreat for a five-star weekend of prenatal pampering. The location is idyllic.

Their host, Selina, is eager to teach them all she knows about pregnancy and motherhood. But, like Selina, each of the women has a secret.

And secrets can be deadly . . .

The only redeeming character was Jon, and he deserved better. SPOILER BELOW I agree with childhood vaccinations and that hospitals are the safest places to give birth, but the self-righteousness in this story was taken to some pretty disgusting heights. So, if you enjoy painting every person who disagrees with you as evil or stupid (especially about modern medicine), this will be your dearest fantasy in print.

I enjoyed the twists and turns. I couldn't put it down. The only thing I didn't like was the author called the pregnancies "bumps." It's diminishes the beauty of pregnancy.

It was OK. I couldn't get the uang of the British language.
