A number of experts generously gave their time: James Walker, professor of obstetrics at the University of Leeds; Janet Treasure, professor of psychiatry at Guys, Kings and St Thomas' medical school; Ruth Bender-Atik; Mckenzie Cerri; Nina Aufderheide; and Inspector Mark Rogers, of Cambridgeshire police. Thanks, too, to Dan Lepard, whose recipe from

But my most heartfelt thanks go to Ella and Jack, my children, and to Phil, my husband.

This book is dedicated to the three of you, with love.
