Live to Tell by Wendy Corsi Staub is the first book in the new thriller trilogy. Publisher: Avon (HarperCollins), March 2010

Secrets can scandalize
In a lovely suburban town just north of New York City, the gossip mill runs more efficiently than the commuter-train line. And in every impeccably decorated house, they’re talking about Lauren Walsh. They say that nothing could be worse than being abandoned by your husband for another woman. They’re wrong . . .

Secrets can shock
All Lauren wants is to protect her children from the pain of her messy divorce. But when their father goes missing, a case of mistaken identity puts all their lives in danger, and a stealthy predator lurks in the shadows, watching . . . waiting . . .

Secrets can kill
Lauren is about to uncover an unfathomable truth—a truth this cold-blooded mastermind would never let her live to tell.

What a great roller coaster ride! You had three separate stories and as you read, you sensed that all three were connected and boy were they indeed. Each turn of the page, each sentence, each word and I couldn’t put this book down. I had to know what happens next and boy was I rewarded. This was a great read and I can’t wait for the next book in this trilogy. My rating: 5 stars
