Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed Donna Anders' thrillers, and was looking for another author who wrote suspenseful, scary books I could curl up on the couch with on a cold rainy evening. Most of the thrillers written from a female point of view seem to be thinly disguised romance novels and the heroines are helpless twits, but happily I have now discovered Wendy Corsi Staub. I have read several of her books and they are all good and scary, with female characters I can respect and relate to. "Lullaby and Goodnight" is about Peyton, a thirty-nine year old woman living in Manhattan, with a successful career but no relationship and a ticking biological clock. She decides to become artifically inseminated (she is not pregnant by a former lover, as an earlier reviewer wrote). She becomes friends with another single mother-to-be in a support group. When her new friend disappears, strange and frightening things start happening to Peyton. You will be kept on the edge of your seat up to the last page.

At thirty-nine, Peyton Somerset has an enviable life, with a thriving advertising career and a beautiful Manhattan apartment. And now she's going to have the one thing she wants most - a baby. Peyton's biological clock went off just as her fiance took off, leaving her at the alter. So Peyton's going through it alone. Already, she's making plans for the little one inside her...buying the layette, daydreaming, and worrying over the littlest things. That's only natural. All mothers do. But Peyton has reason to worry. In fact, she has every reason to be terrified...As the months pass, Peyton can't help feeling that something is terribly wrong. She's certain that someone has been in her apartment, that she's being followed, that someone is watching her. Maybe it's just hormonal paranoia that makes her distrust everyone around her. Or maybe her maternal instincts are dead on. Maybe there's someone close who doesn't think she should give birth at all. Someone who would do anything to have a baby. Anything...
