Rating: Summary: Joy does it again! Review: I fell in love with Joy Fielding with her book, Grand Avenue, and whenever I go anywhere, I am always on the lookout for her books. She didn't disappoint here either ~~ she writes with her usual blend of mystery, spice and love ~~ and it's absolutely wonderful!!Happily married with a beautiful daughter, Bonnie Wheeler thinks she has it made ~~ till her husband's ex-wife was murdered and she became the prime suspect in a whirlwind murder investigation. Then everything in Bonnie's pristine world falls apart ~~ people aren't who they seem to be. Her father and brother ~~ the two men she was estranged from for so long ~~ reappears in her life, causing her to question her upbringing. Rod, her loving husband, is always working early and late at the TV station where he works, and his children suddenly become her responsibility when their mother died ~~ and so on. Fielding takes you on a whirlwind ride through Bonnie's hunt for justice and the truth as she runs from the murderer. This is a quick read ~~ don't read it if you don't have hours to spare because you cannot put this book down at all!! Just like Grand Avenue, it is a book with a twist at the end ~~ just when you figure out who the murderer is ~~ you're caught off guard. This is a spooky book because it is realistic as well. Enjoy this book with the lights on and the curtains pulled ~~ and the doors locked! It makes for a great reading on those upcoming long winter nights...
Rating: Summary: another hit from Fielding Review: I have read about 5 of Fielding's books so far, and this was one of her best. The plot twisted and turned just enough so that just when I thought I had figured it out, I was proven wrong! I was totally shocked by the nerve-wracking ending! The characters were well-developed, and I felt like I knew some of them. I was actually mad on Bonnie's behalf when she discovered the truth about Rod and Diana's relationship. My only 2 issues-the length of the book, and the Haze character. There was too much time spent on him, especially when we find out that he really played only a minor role in helping Lauren.

Rating: Summary: Good Thriller, Great Ending! Review: I'd never read this author before and wasn't sure what I was in for with this book. Not your average cheesy thriller, "Don't Cry Now" really develops the characters in such a way that keeps you guessing all the way. I changed my mind on "who done it" about six times and still didn't get it right! For you thriller junkies out there, this is a must read.
Rating: Summary: I stayed up long past exhaustion to finish this book. Review: Joy Fielding defies the cliche "who can you trust?" theme with a perfect suspense novel. Terrifying, skillfully crafted, and wonderfully timed. I felt like my daughter was in danger, I didn't know how to get close to my husband's kids from his first marriage, and I was mysteriously, chronically (and cripplingly) dizzy. When you become the protagonist, you know you're reading a great book.
Rating: Summary: spine-chilling but heart-warming at the same time Review: Joy Fielding has done it again. Yet another great read. One media critic has noted that Fielding captures the "everyday life" in great detail, which makes her characters all the more believable and her books more readable! This one is no exception. Bonnie is a courageous heroine, unafraid to confront and fight the danger to herself and her daughter. It's obvious to no one except Bonnie that someone's after them, and even worse, it becomes more obvious that it's someone who knows her every move. And it could honestly be anyone she knows. Everyone around her could have a motive for wanting Bonnie and Amanda out of the picture. Everyone. Have fun. .
Rating: Summary: Another formulaic triumph from Joy Fielding Review: Sure, the book consists of the formulaic whodunnit criterium: the good are really the bad, the bad are really the good. But I won't lie! <squeal> The book Don't Cry Now is fantaaaastic! It's past 4 a.m now, I JUST finished the book and simply had to get out of my comfy bed to turn on the computer, get on-line and review this book. This book is quick-paced from page one, has great style, both in writing and innuendo and is a suspenseful book that leaves you breathless. And despite that being a tired cliche, I really did find myself holding my breath while reading this book!! As far as mystery goes, it's a real teaser. I gave the book four stars because of the hokey Electra Complex quality that was inserted in the novel. I found it to be a tad melodramatic and even took a breath long enough to roll my eyes at the whole idea. Ugh, I wish I could say more, but don't want to give away the ending!! If Joy Fielding is around much longer, Mary Higgins Clark is gonna have a real problem on her hands. Though I love MHC. Kudos to both authors. Omigawwwwd, read this book!!

Rating: Summary: A Good Thriller Review: The previous reviewers have said it all. This book deserves their plaudits and then some. Folks, hang onto your hats for this. The stepdaughter did it. She's the guilty one, folks and if you are just starting the book, follow her closely and you will see why she did it. THE STEP DAUGHTER DID IT!
