abstract:Child 44 is a thriller novel by British writer Tom Rob Smith, and features disgraced MGB Agent Leo Demidov, who investigates a series of gruesome child murders in Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union.
Think of it this way: the hit novel Child44 is loosely based on the Chikatilo killings but the author is quite open about the fact that pretty much everything has been moved around to contribute to the story he really wanted to tell which is really just using Chikatilo as a plot device.
And I have since updated my baby math: If I don't get pregnant on my own within the next year or so, I plan to thaw my eggs and hopefully give birth to my first child at 44 and maybe a second by 46.
