A great horror story about the dangers of postpartum depression and lack of support for new mothers.  Fast-paced action which manages to keep the tense atmosphere through out. This definitely reads more like a screen play than a novel and would probably work much better as a movie. I don't think the hippo tusk subplot was needed nor was it particularly well executed. I just don't understand the point of it and it seem to have no relevance or impact on the plot or themes of the story.
