Helpful Score: 4
I wouldn't read this book while home alone. It was scary and hard to put down. If you like Wendy Corsi Staub, this book is for you. I thought it was a whole lot better than Mary Higgins Clark's recent books!

Have read this author before and thoroughly enjoy her books. This one did not disappoint.
This is another great one by Staub. If you haven't read any of her mysteries before, DEFINITELY give her a try. Very chilling!
This is a LARGE PRINT book
I found this book tedious and boring as hell. I kept thinking "get to the point already". I must admit that I didn't finish this one as I just couldn't get into it. I gave it 100 pages and quit. I just didn't care one way or the other what happened to them.
The three women in this trap are irritating as hell. They are so desperate for a man that they fall right into his trap without suspecting a thing. I hate it when you can't identify with or relate to any of the characters. It makes it very hard to care what's going to happen to them.

This was a good read, but not as good as some of her earlier works.
Great, Great, Great!!
Scary...

Excellent mystery, in the realm of Mary Higgins Clark. 1st book of hers that I read, will be reading more by her. Kept you interested right till the end. Very good read.
I found out recently that Staub is also chic lit favorite wendy markham.
Couldn't read this book fast enough!!!
This is a great book! I couldn't put it down! It will keep your interest.
Great book - kept me up half the night to finish.
Sandy, Liza, and Jennie (pretending to be her twin sister) are all about to make a journey in which not all of them will survive. The past is about to come back to haunt them in the form of a man who has been a part of each of their lives.
Wendi Corsi Staub has written a good solid thriller, it's not really a mystery because fairly early on she reveals who this stranger is. The intrigue of this book is the unfolding of the story and learning how each woman made an impact on this man's life and how he reacts to that impact. The characters are fun, real, and engaging. If there is a moral to this story, it's be careful how you treat others, you may not live to regret it.

It was kind of slow starting out, but sure made up for it at the end. One of those books where you can't wait to finish it to find out what happens, but don't want to finish it cause then your thru. LOL
The three women were strangers when they first arrived at the Bramble Rose Inn. Sandy Cavelli came to the windswept island resort to meet the romantic guy who answered her personal ad. Liza Danning hoped to land a publishing deal with a reclusive author. And Jennie Towne just wanted to get awayand got her wish by impersonating her twin, who won the weekend at the inn in a charity raffle. But it turns out that all three have one thing in common: Theyve been lured there by the same vengeful man. Hidden for the moment, fingering the satin-and-lace wedding gowns he made for each of them, hes planning the ultimate receptionfor better, for worse, or til death tears them apart. And as a powerful storm descends upon the isolated inn, there will be no way out. Explicit violence, language.
The best of Wendy Corsi Staub!! Three women receive invitations to a beach house. They don't know that the invitations are from a madman who has wedding dresses waiting on them. This is a thrill a minute read!

This is a great read. Wendy Corsi Staub is a fantastic storyteller.
Three women are asked to come to a bed and breakfast on an island in teh middle of winter: one to meet a "blind date", one to meet a prospective client, and one as a "sweepstakes winner". What they don't know is that someone has it out for all of them in the ultimate case of revenge.
This was a great mystery with lots of suspense. While some of the characters were a little "extreme" (all good or all bad), it didn't detract from the enjoyment of this one.

Really great mystery, it keeps you guessing!
I have not yet read a book of hers that I did not like.
A pretty decent mystery.
Sandy, Liza, and Jennie (pretending to be her twin sister) are all about to make a journey in which not all of them will survive. The past is about to come back to haunt them in the form of a man who has been a part of each of their lives.

Really liked this book!
Very good suspense novel, about a murderer setting up the women who hurt him when he was young.
