Good Read

I gave this a five star although my rating would be more like a 4 1/2. I really like Staub's writing, but sometimes the main character can be a little whiney for me and goes on and on about their drama. I know this is to help us empathize with the character, but sometimes a little goes a long way.Other than that, Staub has a talent for hooking the reader and then slamming us with a surprise at the end that you never quite see coming. I'll continue to read her work.

A Heart For a Heart

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.

What a great page turner!

I started reading this book right before we left for vacation and had to bring it with me because I literally could NOT put it down. Made poor hubby drive all the way so that I could read! I loved how there were so many 'suspects' in the book, several times I was placing in my mind where all the men were at one time knowing that any one of them could be the killer. And the teaser chapter at the very end of this book .......I can't wait to read "Dearly Beloved".......I've already recommended this book to several people.....absolutely wonderful!

MOVE OVER MARY HIGGINS CLARK!!!!!

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.
