Silver Falls

a fast-paced suspense thriller

Professor David Middleton persuades photographer Rachel Chapman to come to Silver Falls as his wife. He swears he will make a safe home for her and teenage daughter Sophie. After years of traveling, Rachel agrees.-----------

However, she finds the idyllic Pacific Northwest college town depressing as it seems to rain everyday and when it is not pouring, it looks like it is about to storm. Worse, she finds David's loving personality has turned to smothering her and her daughter. Starting to be concerned with his obsessive behavior, Rachel reconsiders whether she did the right thing in marrying the previously charming professor. When his brother, Caleb arrives in town, Rachel is stunned by her attraction him even as he mockingly rips holes in her lifestyle. When someone begins to serially murder girls who look like Sophie, Rachel fears her brother-in-law is the culprit with her terrified that her daughter will be his final curtain.---------------

SILVER FALLS is a fast-paced suspense thriller starring a strong cast. The story line is fast-paced from the moment the newlyweds and her teen daughter arrive in town and never slows down. Although some of the "Notorious" excitement is lost because the killer is revealed early on, fans will enjoy Anne Stuart's tale as Rachel risks her life to keep Sophie safe.----------

So So

After reading some of Anne Stuart's other books, I was excited about this one, but a couple of chapters in, I wasn't as enthralled. The extent of my disappointment (for lack of a better word) was that the heroine, Rachel, was getting a bit annoying to me. Stuart leads you to believe that she is street smart and good with gut instincts, but she wavered back and forth between her feelings about her husband David. While I could understand some wavering under the circumstances, the extent to which Rachel did lead me to believe she wasn't as witty as Stuart wanted us to believe. Otherwise, the plot was good and the other characters were strong, and of course the suspense was there, so overall, still a pretty good read.

Awesome

I enjoyed reading this book. It was the first time i read Anna Stuart's work. I love the characters, and mostly the plot twists and the way it developed. I would recommend this book, specially people who are looking for a thrilling mystery. Good read! i promise!

It was good.

Easily figured out who the murderer was early in the book and the reason to keep on reading was the time line of events as they unfolded.

This title is intriguing at first. The cover design and title are great, but Stuart fans may be disappointed with the content.

As a life-long Anne Stuart fan, this reader buys all Stuart's books no matter what the title or cover looks like. But something was off about this story. Though Stuart's usual beyond-bad-boy love interest is there, the plot is given away from the first so there are no surprises. It just misses Stuart's usual dark mystery, and becomes a typical serial killer/light romance, as in a novelette. The capable yet easily panicked female lead is tiresome and boring. This character just wasn't believable. But Stuart is a great writer, so her next will be better.
