Summary: You're in for a Surprise!!!!
Review: "Fade to Black" is the firsrt book I have read by Wendy Corsi Staub and it was marvelous! So thrilling, believable, and grabbing. Cliff-hanger chapters with a perfectly delighting and surprise ending. Of course, you'll have to find out the end for yourself. The Main character, Elizabeth Baxter, used to be the famous actress, Mallory Eden, until a stalker forced her to fake her own death and begin a new lif in Windmere Cove, Rhode Island. A man she thought she couldn't trust might have some connection to Mallory Eden's past... Wonderful, don't miss it!!!!

Summary: LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER...
Review: ...because there IS someone watching Mallory Eden!

A retired actress, Mallory Eden fakes her death to leave the Hollywood life and enjoy peace and solitude in a small coastal community in Rhode Island.

Peace dodges her; she receives anonymous letters from somebody who knows secrets from her past. The anonymous writer threatens to blackmail her. Mallory Eden hides behind a false name; the name she chooses has an interesting twist to the story as well.

The list of suspects is a long one. Her neighbor's husband, a rather questionable police officer is one possibility. An embittered young woman who suffered disfigurement is another. People Mallory knew in her small midwestern hometown pose yet more possibilities. Even though the blackmailer's identity was not surprising towards the end of the book, it was a masterful mystery. I was sorry to see the curtain come down on such a wonderful book with a host of realistic, interesting and refreshing characters.

Summary: A Fine Work by Wendy Corsi Staub
Review: As a mystery author with my debut novel in its initial release, I genuinely enjoyed Wendy Corsi Staub's FADE TO BLACK. The novel tells the tale of Mallory Eden, a Holloywood flavor-of-the-month starlet, who apparently committed suicide. She was actually fleeing a stalker, and she moves to a small town and lives under an assumed name. Then, she receives a letter from someone who claims to know who she actually is. Her fears of the stalker return. There are a number of suspicious characters in Eden's new life, and the plot (with backstory) works well. I recommend this book highly.

Review: Elizabeeth Baxter had managed to stay out of sight for five years, until one day a pink envelope turns her life into fear. From there, you are kept guessing and until the real stalker is revealed, you have just about put everyone in the guilty seat.

Summary: This book has everything!
Review: FADE TO BLACK is a wonderful book for those looking for a real change of pace. Interesting characters, a fast-moving plot, and an edge-of-your-seat climax will keep you turning the pages. Ms. Staub's use of the present tense works beautifully.

Wendy Corsi Staub is a versatile and prolific writer. Be sure to read her many other novels. Her latest mystery/suspense thriller, ALL THE WAY HOME, will be available in late summer/early fall 1999.
