She Loves Me Not

Rating:
Summary: Affected
Review: Like all of your reading in the present tense (she is seeing this; she is now tasting that; he is feeling such-and-such)? If so, this is your book. If not, stay away. I suppose the current present-tense-vogue adopted by otherwise excellent writers is designed to lend a sense of action and immediacy. To me, not having anything appear in the past, nothing in the future, is so artificial that it destroys the value of the book.

Summary: Wendy's done it again....
Review: Mary Higgins who?? Ok that was mean but i have to say Wendy's books are the best i've read in a long long time and She Loves Me Not didn't disappoint..It was one of her best books yet..so suspensful up til the last page i was drawn in...All of her books are "can't put down" books..she really has a talent..Even in the back of her book she has a chapter from an upcoming book due out in August 03' and i couldn't put that part down either..if you haven't read any of her books, i highly recommend them..all of them...

Summary: Another suspenseful,engrossing pageturner from Wendy Staub
Review: Ms. Staub masterfully builds the suspense without resorting to
explicit violence. Rose is a very believable, likable heroine,
surrounded by an interesting supporting cast of characters. Fans of
Mary Higgins Clark's earlier books will enjoy this book.

Summary: A Heart For a Heart
Review: Rose Larrabee, a young widow fears for her life and that of her two children, Jenna, 6 and Leo, 3. She has plenty of reason for concern - widowed at a very early age and facing a serious heart condition, Rose treasures each joy that comes her way, including a mysterious Valentine she receives in the mail.

The Valentine appears to be the first clue in a series of mysteries that follow her. Small items begin to vanish around the home. At first, she suspects Leo who has a habit of picking things up innocently because they caught his interest. In time, she began to fear there was something sinister about the Valentine and wonders if there is a connection between it and the items that are supposedly misplaced in the home.

A long list of suspects begins to emerge. A neighbor, distraught over her crumbling marriage and desire for a child appears to have an agenda. A co-worker in the Long Island bookstore where Rose works might have some insight into the bizarre mail and missing items. Two other women, one who had been given the gift of sight through an organ donor and another woman whose life improved after an organ transplant are murdered. Neither woman lives near the other and none of the women knew each other. The mysteries interlock and deepen - is Rose somehow connected with the two murdered women? And what could possibly be the link that binds them all?

This is an intensely riveting book that I really enjoyed. It is brilliantly written and will keep readers eager to find out more about each of the well developed characters. This is a high caliber mystery.

Summary: Grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go !!!
Review: This is the first book written by Wendy Corsi Staub that I have ever read but it will not be the last. I could not put this book down, it held my interest from the first page till the last. Very interesting characters and plot, had me guessing till the end as to who dunit. I recommend this book to all who enjoy a great suspense story.

Summary: You won't be able to put it down!
Review: This was a great book. It's the first one I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. I picked it up on a whim because the cover copy made reference to Mary Higgins Clark. I enjoyed this book more than hers. I thought the present tense style would bother me, but it really didn't. I think it made it more suspenseful.

Summary: MOVE OVER MARY HIGGINS CLARK!!!!!
Review: Wendy Corsi Staub is definitely the new Queen of Suspense! She Loves Me Not grabs you from the very first page and does not let you go. This is a fast paced, brilliantly plotted suspense/thriller that is absolutely impossible to put down. I couldn't wait for my copy to arrive in the mail and it was well worth the wait! Wendy has so much talent as an author that I would love to see her books come out in hardcover. She keeps you guessing until the very end and her writing style is a gift. Anyone out there who is a fan of mystery/suspense must read this book. The setting is perfect, a little Long Island town in the middle of winter. The characters are wonderfully developed and it is filled with nail-biting suspense. Treat yourself to a true gem of a book that will keep you up reading until you finish.
