An adopted baby is missing and his adopted mother is murdered.  The father is grieving.  The birth mother was a young woman who was having second thoughts about giving up the baby. It sounds like an open and shut case, right?  Well, not quite....That is the setting for "Hush Now Baby", the sixth book in Cheryl Bradshaw' s Sloane Monroe series.  In this story, Sloane is taking a break from investigations to regroup.  She heads out to visit her friend Cade.  But he lives in the town where the baby was abducted and is related to the father.  Sloane gets involved in the case despite the objection of the police chief.  What follows is a gripping story that leaves the reader feeling every emotion from anger to joy and sadness.  There are many twists in this story so mystery readers who feel cheated when they figure out a case early in the book need not worry.  Also, many characters play important roles in this book.  That can be confusing, but Ms. Bradshaw does a good job of keeping the reader involved in all the character's actions and feelings so has not to get everything jumbled into one mess.I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better.  Not only for the mystery stories but also for the connection readers will have with Sloane and her personal struggles.  This part of the story takes a few twists in this book as well and the ending for this side is just as much a mystery as the hunt for the baby.  The manner in which Ms. Bradshaw weaves these together in each book shows her talent as an author and is why this series is one that I highly recommend.
