Wanted for Serial Murder.
Christine Nilsson and her husband, Marcus, are desperate for a baby. Unable to conceive, they find themselves facing a difficult choice they had never anticipated. After many appointments with specialists, endless research, and countless conversations, they make the decision to use a donor.
Two months pass, and Christine is happily pregnant. But one day, she is shocked to see a young blond man on the TV news being arrested for a series of brutal murders—and the blond man bears an undeniable and uncanny resemblance to her donor.
Delving deeper to uncover the truth, Christine must confront a terrifying reality and face her worst fears.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It should be the happiest of times for elementary school teacher Christine Nilsson and her adoring husband, Marcus, who are finally pregnant after years of struggle. But when Christine becomes convinced the sperm donor of their baby is a just-captured serial killer, she falls into a nightmare. Lisa Scottoline’s clever premise is the jumping-point for a high-stakes, twisting whodunit.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Christine and Marcus Nilsson, the Connecticut couple at the heart of this uneven standalone from bestseller Scottoline (Every Fifteen Minutes), have decided to use a sperm-bank donor after three years struggling to have a baby. No. 3319's identity is anonymous, but, like many donors, he submitted two photographs one as a child, one as an adult. While on early leave from her job as an elementary school teacher, pregnant Christine becomes convinced that the donor is Zachary Jeffcoat, who's being called "the Nurse Murderer" in a TV newscast after his arrest. Christine begins her own investigation to determine if the biological father of her child is a serial killer, even if it puts her life and her marriage at risk. The plot is strongest when focusing on the trials of a couple desperate for a child and the psychological ramifications of using a sperm donor. But too often the story sinks to the melodramatic, unredeemed by Scottoline's usual verve for character.
Customer Reviews
Most Wanted
Like all other books that Lisa has written,excellent! I found it hard to put down . Now have to wait until August for the next one.
Good Premise But
I really tried, but every sentence is a repeat of the same thought. I couldn’t continue.
Most Wanted
This book had so much potential with a great story idea, but the plot simply took a ridiculous turn. Don't waste your time.
