Product Description

Leigh Kendall revelled in her Broadway acting career, and her marriage to Logan Manning, scion of an old New York Family. When her husband finds an old country cabin, he decides to build their dream house and surprise Leigh with her first view of the mountain property. Following a Sunday night performance, Leigh heads north to join him, but is run off the road fighting the elements of a blinding blizzard. When she awakes in the local hospital, seriously injured, she asks for her husband. The police arrive to inform her that he has mysteriously disappeared, and Leigh, although obviously distraught, becomes the focus of their suspicions. Leigh plunges into a desperate search to find him...and into a menacing web of secrets, deception, and danger. The more she uncovers about her husband and his business affairs, the less she realizes she knew about Logan Manning. Now, with no one to help her, she is heading deeper and deeper into unknown territory...where friends and enemies are impossible to distinguish, and where the truth becomes the most terrifying weapon of all.

Customer Reviews

Enjoyable but ........
As an avid JM fan who's had to wait absolutely ages since her last publication, I managed to grab a copy of this eagerly awaited book as soon as I could. Whilst the characters and storyline made for an enjoyable read, I have to admit to being a little disappointed when compared to her past masterpieces such as 'Whitney My Love', 'Kingdom Of Dreams', 'Paradise' and 'Perfect'. These classics have set such exacting standards of characters, passion, humour, emotion and evocativeness that understandably makes it is nigh impossible to follow each time. 'STWOM' didn't have such developed characters and seemed to lack some of the intensity and passion/emotion of her other books. My advice - enjoy it because its a JM book but if you're new to her, you should read her other books to get a definitive feel of her amazing writing ability to keep her readers laughing and crying all way through. I'm keeping my fingers, legs and everything else crossed that a) the next book is not so long in coming, b) another historical one would be great as her last few have been contemporaries, and c) that there's a return to her old trademarks of character-depth, emotion and evocativeness.

Could he watch over me?
A slow start, but as the story gathers pace you appreciate the beginning. Two love interests, not unusual in a Judith McNaught book, both so different and once again I fell in love with the main male lead. I've stopped second guessing who the good and bad guys are and I just enjoy the plot's twists and turns. I'm still picking up the book, opening it anywhere and enjoying it. The humour is there as usual, with a welcome return of Joe (Paradise & Perfect) and Courtney (Night Whispers) - as outrageous as ever.

One comment - the "official" review didn't review the book I read, are there 2 versions? The book I read stayed strictly in the 21st Century.

fantastic as always
as a fan of judith mcnaught i was really looking forward to this book and i wasn,t dissapointed.the story had nice twists and the chemistry between sam and mac was a nice added extra.i felt we could have seen a bit more of their romance but that is my only criticism.leigh and michaels story was so lovely and left me with a lovely sigh of contentment at the end as all judith mcnaught books do.
