The Midwife Murders by James Patterson and Richard DiLallo

 The Midwife Murders

To Senior Midwife Lucy Ryuan, pregnancy is not an unusual condition, it's her life's work. But when two kidnappings and a vicious stabbing happen on her watch in a university hospital in Manhattan, her focus abruptly changes. Something has to be done, and Lucy is fearless enough to try.
Rumors begin to swirl, blaming everyone from the Russian Mafia to an underground adoption network. The feisty single mom teams up with a skeptical NYPD detective to solve the case, but the truth is far more twisted than Lucy could ever have imagined.

This was a terrible book.  The main character is just angry all the time and spends all her time yelling at people.  I found no interesting characters in this book and there wasn't a murder until I trudged through halfway through.  I find Patteson's books very hit or miss: sometimes a good one, more often than not, a bad one.  I think it depends on the quality of the second author, who if you didn't know is the one who writes; Patterson just approves the outline.  0/5 stars, not recommended.
