I have bought everyone of her suspense books from the beginning, her latest is no exception. I loved it. I never figure out who the killer is and she keeps me on pins and needles. I love the psychic bent flowing through the story. The lead characters are highly sympathetic and endearing, you find yourself rooting for them. Very realistic in the sense that this kind of thing could happen to the least likely person. I would highly recommend!!

As always, Corsi Staub's books keep you on the edge of your seat. You always think you know who did it and you're never right. She keeps a couple of suspenses going in the same book and you're hooked right away. I've never been disappointed in her books.

I purchased this book at a rest stop on a weekend trip. I had never read any other books by this author. I thought that the story was pretty good and it waasn't predictable in the way the story ended. I would read another book by her.

Once again, Wendy Corsi Staub has turned out a chilling tale of taut psychological suspense. I found myself barreling through this book, unable to put it down. I was desperate to find out who the killer was, yet I didn't want to reach the end of this delightfully creepy thriller. Wendy is a pro at bringing her characters to life with carefully chosen details. And when you learn the identity of the killer, Dying Breath will truly take your breath away.
Dare To Breathe
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In Staub's newest novel of suspense, a serial killer stalks the Jersey shore, preying on the most vulnerable of victims-children. The protagonist, Cam Hastings, wife and mother, has visions-visions of children in peril. And for years, she has drowned those visions in the bottle, destroying her marriage in the process. But, as she struggles to put her family back together, the visions return with a vengeance. And, for the first time, Cam decides to act on them-unwittingly placing those she holds most dear in the path of an evil that is hiding in plain sight. Staub's story is tight, and she does a masterful job of bringing this domestic drama to life. The multiple points of view keep you guessing, and red herrings are abundant throughout. As the story rushes to an unforgettable climax, you will find yourself turning the pages at a feverish pace-and you can bet that you will be satisfied with the ending that you never saw coming.
