SOLVED. 2013 Australian novel about a child abduction, opening chapter has scene on a plane [s]

[Rachel]

I've only read a review of this book so have limited information, but would like to find it so I can read it!

It's an Australian novel which came out in 2013. I read the review just a few months ago, no earlier than September. It is about a couple whose child or baby is abducted. The review described the opening chapter where the couple are on a plane and their baby won't stop crying. I think later on the baby is abducted from their car while they are at a petrol station. I think they are either flying from Scotland to Australia, or vice versa.

I've tried searching the website of the newspaper where I read the review, but had no luck, and google hasn't helped either. Hoping this will ring a bell with someone!

This is a long shot as only some elements match (e.g., child kidnapped at a petrol station in Ireland) - Taken by Niamh O'Connor?

Nope, that's not the one, but thanks for the suggestion.

I've managed to solve this one myself by emailing the book reviews editor of the newspaper! If anyone is interested - it was The Cry by Helen Fitzgerald

Good for you, Rachel. Nice investigative work. :)
