It's been a few weeks since Georgina Powers' life was saved by her friend Richard, who pushed her out of the path of the onrushing car so she got away with unly superficial injuries.  Her mind is injured more though, as she is convinced that this was not an accident, and as long as the driver isn't found panic keeps her inside her flat.  She's a journalist, and thanks to today's modern communication systems she can continue to do her journalistic work, be it a bit handicapped.  Then early december Douglas "Gecko" Samuels, executive of one of the world's most important game software companies, is killed by a parcel bomb, together with Jo, a colleague of Georgina.

As bit by bit details of Gecko's life are revealed the theories about the reasons for the attack are adjusted, but the theorizing is becoming more complicated when a young girl is killed by a second bomb.  Then Georgina discovers a list on which she finds the second victim, possibly the intended victim of the first bomb - and her own name.  And to complicate matters, four of the thirteen women on the list have been treated by a doctor Georgina is seeing, a doctor that used questionable means to contact her the first time.  Obvious - too obvious?

Quite often when authors start to mix internet related technologies, even as simple as email, I have the feeling they just try to blend it in into their stories without really knowing what they're writing about.  It's as if they feel they need to add modern technology or otherwise their stories -or they themselves- will sound outdated, but the result is often awkward.  Not so in Baby Love, even if just about every step Georgina advances in the mistery is supported by something out there on the internet.  Still the methods used for her research and her contacts with the outside world are blended into the plot just as casually as you and I use them, even rather technical explanations -like how the bomber probably collected his information- don't take away the reader's attention of the only thing that matters: the story.

And that story is a page-turner.  You want to know, you think you know but you want confirmation, you thought you knew but there was a twist.  And sauced over the plot is a sense of danger, partly because of Georgina's fears, but her name on this list doesn't do anything to remove that danger, the faceless killer out there adds his bit, and so do the frequent visits from motorcyclists (hey, read the book, I sure won't tell you why!).  Careful when you start reading: you may spend more time with this book in your hands than you had originally planned...
