Summary: ~~~Well worth reading~~~
Review: Five days of terror and suspense! Emily Parker is ready to head back to Manhattan after spending another summer vacation at Cape Cod. Before leaving though, Emily wants to restock her mom's groceries. Leaving her three children in her mom's care, she takes off on a quick trip to the Stop & Shop. What starts out as an ordinary trip to the grocery store soon turns into anything but ordinary!
This book is fast paced and filled with twists and turns that will keep you riveted. Kate Pepper has done an excellent job in this chilling tale! I couldn't believe this was her first suspense novel. LOOK OUT Anne Frasier, Mariah Stewart, and Mary Higgins Clark...Kate Pepper is going to be strong competition in the suspense genre! I can't wait till July 2005 ... SEVEN MINUTES TO NOON ... Kate's second suspense novel is well on it's way!!!

Summary: exciting thriller
Review: She went out to buy some groceries as a way of thanking her mother in law Sara for allowing her and her three children to stay in their Cape Cod home. While she was putting some groceries in the car and then slammed the trunk shut, someone stealthily moved behind her and slipped her something to cause her to lose consciousness. At first nobody is concerned but as the hours slip away Sara called the police and her son Will to let him know that Emily was missing.

Ordinarily, it would be treated as an ordinary missing person's case but retired FBI agent and expert profiler Dr. John Geary is working on a very similar case. Over the last two decades, on a certain date mothers have been kidnapped; five days later a son is abducted, a piece of a boy's body the only thing ever found. Dr. Geary thinks this same person kidnapped Emily because the date fits. The police wants the family to keep the boys close to them. Unfortunately one of them is kidnapped by someone they all trust and time is running out for Emily and her son.

New talent Kate Pepper provides thriller readers with an exciting tale that will leave fans wanting to read any future books she writes. The pacing is swift, the actions scenes leave the audience breathless and the suspense is at a high level. FIVE DAYS IN SUMMER is a very frightening book because the victims could be anyone, anywhere since the perpetrator chooses them at random. The killer is hiding in plain sight but no one would ever suspect him until the end.

Summary: What a waste!
Review: This book has exactly 304 pages, if you take away everything that doesn't has to do anything with the main story like how well can swim the kids in the sea, the illness of the baby, the family who found Emily's bracelet, the new house they wanted to buy, etc. The book could be written in less than 200 pages, and if you think that an eleven years kid can win a battle to a cop whom loves to kill is just pathetic.

Rating:
Summary: Great suspense!
Review: This is one of the best suspense stories that I have read in a long time.
I am at page 151, and savouring it. I want to know how it unfolds, but then again, I don't want the reading to be over!
Can't wait to get Kate Pepper's next book!

Rating:
Summary: A nice read
Review: This was a good book, not a great one. The final scene on the boat involving David was a little far fetched, and I would have liked to have known more about the characters of Cardoza and Geary, but there was enough suspense in the book to keep me interested until the end. A nice, intriguing book to read.

Summary: Terror on the Beach
Review: Wait until your summer beach vacation is over to read Kate Pepper's debut novel. This is no Jaws; the horror and cringe-worthy torture scenes happen right in the harbor. Pepper does a brilliant job of investing the detective-suspense genre with a genuine sense of writerly compassion (for her characters) and respect (for her readers' intelligence). A must-read for all fans of Mary Higgins Clark, Sue Grafton, et al. I hear a new book is already in the pipeline. Can't wait!!!

Summary: Wow - Couldn't Put It Down
Review: WHAT A THRILLER!
Although I have never written any kind of review after reading a book, I felt compelled to do so for the book "Five Days in Summer". I picked it up at a local grocery store and did not put it down. Living on the Cape all my life, as I read the book I felt that I was the detective running all around the Cape looking to catch the maniac and decipher just who it was. Great twist at the end - I didn't see it coming. I look forward to Kate Pepper's next book and can hardly wait until June 2005.
