Dearly Beloved

Rating:
Summary: Wow! Just Wow!
Review: All of Wendy Corsi-Staub's books keep me on the edge of my seat but this one was a real page turner for sure. So many people could've been the culprit, it was truly a surprise to find out "whodunit". With so many other writers, I find myself figuring out the plot by the time I've read the first half of the book, and turn to the last page to confirm my suspicious. When I read Wendy Corsi-Staub's books, I'm so captivated that by the time I get to the end of the book, I realize I never even wanted to read the last page! I'm always too caught up in the plot to spend a lot of time trying to stay a step ahead and figure out the ending! I've read a lot of fiction / suspense authors' stuff and I have to say that Wendy Corsi-Staub is my favorite.

Review: I enjoy books like this one (different but fun) life would be boring if all books of fiction read the same now wouldn't it! Dearly Beloved by Wendy Corsi Staub was different but fun!

Summary: Entertaining and Suspensful
Review: I had to search high and low to even find this book but was glad it was at least worth it! It is a good quick read about three young ladies who, under different circumstances, get lured to a small inn on an island in Massachusetts. They have all been targeted by a sicko who is out for revenge. Things are made worse when there is a big storm and the girls are stuck on the island for the weekend. It is creepy and entertaining like most of Ms. Staub's novels. It is very much like a Carlene Thompson novel. Worth a read but not earth shattering.

Summary: Dearly Beloved, Clearly Disappointing
Review: I have read all of Wendy Corsi Staub's books and have been mostly impressed by them. However, this one seemed less creative and realistic than some of the others. I didn't feel like I knew the characters well enough to really care about them, either. It was more violently graphic than her other books, as well, something I don't appreciate. Though Staub has a great talent for suspense stories, I'd suggest "The Last to Know" and "In the Blink of an Eye" over this one. "Dearly Beloved" was just okay.

Review: I thought this book was one of the authors best. I'm so glad it came out again because I was looking for it used and couldn't find it.

Summary: Wendy Corsi Staub is one to read
Review: I've read 4 books by Ms. Staub and I have to say all were very good. Dearly Beloved is another thriller from her. She has a host of characters, but manages to tie them into the storyline. She keeps you guessing to the very end.

Rating:
Summary: Great, Fast read!
Review: I've read all of Staub's books, and I found I actually liked this one more than I thought. Although the "girls stranded on an island with killer" is a familiar one, she manages to give suspense even when you think you know what's coming. Great characters and she spares no one!
