Killing Me Gently by Hazel Mchaffie
Anya Morgan has it all - beauty, brains, dream home, handsome husband, and now to complete the picture, a new baby. But Gypsy Lysette doesn't conform to Anya's criteria for perfection. Sleep deprived and insecure, she searches for solace and reassurance. Leon Morgan is torn between supporting his paranoid wife and the demands of his job. Increasingly stressed he starts to make mistakes, big mistakes, threatening the future of the family firm, jeopardising their marriage. Tiffany Corrigan to the rescue; qualified nurse, mother of three, a fount of practical wisdom. She's a shoulder to lean on when the crises escalate ... when Gypsy is admitted to hospital ... when the fingers start pointing ... when suspicion and jealousy widen the rift between Anya and Leon. Then inexplicable things start to happen. Frightening things. Baby Gypsy's life as well as Anya's sanity are under threat. Who is responsible? And will the professionals act in time to save this family from devastating loss?

She is the author of around 100 published papers and books and has travelled extensively (abroad as well as in the UK) as a speaker. Ground-breaking work looking at big ethical questions around the care of extremely small and sick babies resulted in 'Crucial Decisions at the Beginning of Life', which was voted BMA Medical Book of the Year in 2002. She now writes novels which bring medical ethics to life. Her fifth novel, 'Right to Die', was shortlisted for the BMA Popular Medicine prize in 2008.
