I have become such a fan of Wendi Corsi Staub and look forward with pleasure to her novels. They always keep me turning page after page after page and often find I read the novel in one sitting. She writes a good suspense novel, just when you "think" you've got it figured out, BAM another twist!!From back cover:"Townsend Heights is the perfect small town. Sleepy, treelined streets. Good schools. A quick commute to the city. The sort of peaceful, suburban existence Tasha Banks dreamed of living when she left her fast paced career for full-time motherhood.But now, Tasha's perfect dream is turning into a terrifying nightmare. Someone is targeting women in Townsend Heights-and not just any women. A serial killer is looking for a particular kind of prey...young, stay-at-home mothers...exactly like Tasha. One by one, Tasha's friends are disappearing, only to die in horrific ways. Suddenly, terror is transforming Townsend Heights into a sinister place of fear and foreboding-a place where evil lurks behind every corner, hiding behind the mask of a familiar face-a face that may be the last one Tasha ever sees..."
I have to say that it took me longer than normal to read this story. When you are slightly tired and trying to read this, it is confusing when the story changes from one perspective to another. The copy I was reading didn't have a break or space between each persons part of the story.When Jane's baby girl is found and her mother is nowhere to be found the police are baffled. When more tragedy occurs the clues lead the police in the wrong direction. This story definitely gets you hooked and takes you on a wild ride with twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. Definitely a wild ride.
