Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-20 00:00:00 David Tucker Ii This was the first book I read by Staub and I loved it. It was free on my Nook and I was hooked after the first page. This book started my long love affair with Wendy's novels!!!!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-24 00:00:00 Latacha Johnson You need to be a fan of family dynamics in order to enjoy Live to Tell. Lauren Welsh was trying to come to terms with her husband having left her for an older woman. With two teenagers and a very mature six??-year-old, she had her hands full. The Walsh childrens' POVs were a good part of this narrative. And Ms. Staub reminded the reader more than once of Lauren trying to cope. Included with all this drama was a secondary story concerning a politician, his wife and daughter. Not to mention, Nick Walsh's POV. And, finally, there was the killer. This was the first story I have read by this author. I felt compassion for Lauren and her children. I thought the suspense was revealing with an interesting twist at the end. At the same time, I found it hard to remember all of the characters. While reading the secondary stories (Nick and the OW, the politician and his family), I thought the characters were shallow and found the reading slow. I expect a very fast pace when I read a thriller. If not, I lose interest. Instead, while reading Live to Tell, I kept thinking of the idiom: LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT.
