The Push
One party. Thirteen people. By 3.02pm, one of them will be dead.
The party should have been perfect: six couples from the same baby group, and their newborns at a luxurious house in South London. But not everything has gone to plan, and while some couples are here to celebrate, others have sorrows to drown.
DS Alison Hegarty, herself struggling to conceive, is called in to investigate what seems to be an accidental fall from a balcony, and finds the new parents have a lot to hide. Wealthy Ed and Monica show off their newborn while their teenage daughter is hidden from view.
