Until The Day You Die by Tina Wainscott
Review by Connie
THE PAST WON’T LET HER BE.
When Maggie Fletcher’s sister is murdered, presumably by stalker Colin Masters, Maggie is left devastated—and furious. There isn’t enough evidence to prove that Masters did it—unless Maggie falsely claims, under oath, that she saw him leaving the scene of the crime…THE TRUTH WON’T SET HER FREE.
Maggie’s testimony puts Masters behind bars—but also wrecks Maggie’s life. When she and her teenage son move to a small New Hampshire town to start a new life, Maggie can’t help but feel that she’s being shadowed.NOW THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE….
Someone is slowly, stealthily invading every part of Maggie’s world, turning everything and everyone against her. Now Maggie fears that a faceless, merciless pursuer wants to make her pay for her lie—with her life.
Until The Day You Die is the story of a very clever, careful stalker. This man causes the death of Maggie Fletcher’s sister. She can’t stand the thought he is going to get off scott free, so Maggie lies.
Like all lies, it grows and takes on a life of its own and a man goes to prison. Only problem is was it the right man? And if it was… now he has a helper.
For some reason I found it difficult to connect to these characters but I liked the book. Until The Day You Die is a scary and realistic look at stalkers. The disconnection from characters works in the favor of the novel because it keeps you guessing and the tension remains high through out the story. Usually you can pick up on clues in the story and find something isn’t right with a character but that doesn’t work with this case. The ending is surprising and well done. This was a very good read and an author I will read again.
Grade: B+
