Great Book!

This was the first book I read by the author. I couldn't put it down. Well developed characters. She kept me on the edge of my seat!

So good it's scary!

Welcome to Lake Charlotte, a sleepy little town in upstate NY. It's been 10 years since 4 girls mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Rory Connelly, (who's sister Carleen is among the missing) returns home to deal with an aging mother and troubled younger sister. If that weren't enough to deal with, on the 10 year anniversary of the crimes, another girl disappears!Rory soon realizes history is starting to repeat itself and she doesn't know who to trust. This book is truly one of the best suspense books I've ever read, everyone in this book looks guilty! When the real killer is revealed you will be SHOCKED!I also loved the upstate NY setting, since I grew up around that area. Wendy even mentions my hometown of Kingston, NY in this book! Wendy Corsi Staub is now on the top of my "must read list". I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery.

BREATH TAKING READ

Lake Charlotte, New York, is a sleepy village in the foot hills of the Adirondack Mountains. It's a place where everyone knows each other, and they don't have to lock their doors -- that is, until strange disappearances start to happen. Then the towns' people don't know who to trust. Kirstin Stafford, a 13-year-old, is the first to vanish without a trace, Allison Myers, a 15-year-old, disappears three weeks later, and Carleen Connolly, a 14-year-old, vanishes a few weeks after her. Now it's 10 years later and Rory Connolly (the sister of Carleen Connolly who disappeared 10 years ago) has returned to Lake Charolotte from Berkley California where she attended college. On the 10th anniversary of the first girl's disappearance, Emily Anghardt vanishes. Why is it starting all over again? Rory wants to find out so she can have some answers about her sister's disappearance. What Rory doesn't know is she is in danger as well as other young girls. The characters are well defined and realistic in the sense that they are not perfect so that the reader can understand why they made the mistakes they did. I thought that I had it all figured out early in the book, but was I dead wrong. ALL THE WAY HOME is a well-told story with a lot of spooky revelations, fantastic amazement, and plenty of thrills and chills to keep you hanging on to every word right up to the breath-taking and astonishing conclusion.

Un-Put-Downable!

I have been reading Wendy Corsi Staub's books for a few years now, and this one is my favorite so far. The characters are really well drawn. They are realistic in the sense that they aren't perfect, but you can understand why they have made the mistakes they have. There is a creepy aura about the setting, and the suspense never lets up from the very first page. Every time I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist, leading up to a real shocker at the end when the stalker's identity is revealed. I would highly recommend this for anyone who likes a real page-turner along the lines of Mary Higgins Clark or Patricia MacDonald.
