Lullaby and Goodnight

By Wendy Corsi Staub

     Peyton Somerset was a career woman on the rise. At the age of 39 she has a successful career, a beautiful home and financial stability. Only one thing is missing. Peyton has not been lucky in the matrimony department and feels her biological ticking away. So Peyton decides to be a woman of the times, independent and going after what she wants. Peyton has decided to have and raise a baby on her own.

     Peyton should now be on cloud nine, but something is just not right. Is it the pregnant lady jitters or is something else seriously wrong? Peyton feels that someone is following her and has been in her home. She has not one but two men suddenly interested in sharing her life, and her new friends from the pregnancy group are disappearing.

     Wendy Corsi Staub is a remarkable suspense writer who some, including myself are comparing to Mary Higgins Clark. In "Lullaby and Goodnight" Ms. Staub sets the mood quickly and then carries the reader along by the back of the neck at incredible speeds until the bone-chilling end.

     As a reader I can generally spot the villain by midpoint in a book. Not so with "Lullaby and Goodnight". I was in the final few pages when the author allowed me to get a glimpse of what was to come, something I have come to expect with Wendy Corsi Staub.

     Wendy Corsi Staub is the author of more than 50 published works under her name and three other pseudonyms: Wendy Markham, Wendy Morgan and Wendy Brody.
