From the Back Cover

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 . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt bad for the kids though
Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2016
I was immediately drawn into Live to Tell, the story of a newly divorced Lauren Walsh, her children, and a case of mistaken identity involving her ex-husband Nick.

Wendy Corsi Staub captured the dynamics of a freshly divorced family to near perfection. There was tension, awkwardness, and trying to keep interactions civil for the kids' sake, among other things. I felt bad for the kids though, especially Sadie. She seemed to struggle the most with understanding such adult situations, though I was impressed with how Lauren tried to get her the proper help.

I admired Lauren's motherly dedication to her children, and to keeping the peace for their sake. I really felt for her towards the end of the book, and was surprised with how things turned out for her, Nick and the children in the end.

I liked the way there were multiple subplots that came together just enough in the end to answer most of my questions, but but still leave me hanging for the next in the series. The inclusion of the excerpt from Scared to Death was fantastic and I cannot wait to give it a read!

Overall, I found this book easy to get through (especially the last 100 pages). A couple of places along the storyline were a little predictable, but there were several other parts that were entirely unexpected as well. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a suspenseful mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful Intricate Plot
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015

This is my first Wendy Corsi Staub book and I have a feeling I'm going to be reading a lot more. Live to Tell was suspenseful and full of twists and turns. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out the twists and "whodunit" but she got me on most of it. The characters are complex, well-developed and you come to feel like you know them whether you like them or not. Three stories are interwoven and it's done well so you never get confused or feel like the thread doesn't make sense. The plot is smart and not obvious at all. Once I started the book, I had to finish it because it was too hard to put it down. This is the first in a trilogy and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series. Consider me a Wendy Corsi Staub fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars Who Lives to Tell?
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016

I'm not sure how I missed knowing about Wendy Corsica Staub and her incredible talent. I always thought she wrote teen and YA stories so you can imagine my surprise when I read Live to Tell. This story is truly scary when murder for convenience is treated so lightly. The justification being: Do what you have to do, wash your hands of it and move forward.

There are several storylines that dovetail into the unexpected ending that usher in the next book in the series. The characters have depth and complexity that give the reader insight into their motivations. At times it's hard to tell the good guys from the greedy.

If you enjoy a good murder mystery that is well written, this is a book you will enjoy.

It was slow in the beginning but picked up in the middle. It kept me reading to the end. I didn't guess the evil henchman until nearly the end.
