This is Donna's best book yet--and the others are all terrific.

The suspense was gripping because the story was true-to-life and plausible. The main character was likeable and real. I couldn't put the book down. Am passing this title on to friends.

Wow! Donna has done it again with the most realistic depection of this horrible stalking problem which plagues our nation. To lift a few words from Donna's book...A finger of apprehension traced Carolyn's spine. Her tired brain went to full alert as her gaze scanned the room. A plant from the garden window above the sink now sat on the counter, and her oven light was on... I don't know about other readers, but I do know that this is a perfect description of how one feels when something like "stalking" is going on in ones life...I felt my nervous system zoom from zero to sixty in about one second. This book is some of the most compelling writing I have read in a long time. I love this authors writing!

Carolyn should have had a clear indication of Richard's character when he was attacked by the neighbors dog. I did not find this book suspensefull, but very repetitious, it took a long time for Carolyn to catch on to anyhing.
It seemed to get all neatly tied up in the last couple pages, but there were a few holes in all that the perp managed to accomplish in his reign of terror.
Mediocre to be kind.

I have read several thrillers by Donna Anders. Reviewers frequently criticize her books, saying that they are like a Lifetime movie. This is true, but sometimes you just like to lock the doors, check in the closet and under the bed, and settle down to read a scary book, and aren't looking for a literary experience. "In All the Wrong Places" is just the kind of book I like to read on a rainy night around Halloween time. Viewers of QVC should really enjoy this book, because the main character is the host of a shopping channel. I just finished reading a thriller by Mary Higgins Clark, and found that the character development, plot, and fright level was not nearly as good as Donna Anders' books. If you want to be scared, this book is a great choice!

Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It had me guessing up to the end!

I think this one is Donna Anders' best yet!

This book has great characters, wonderful descriptions and
a unique plot! (It should be made into a movie!)

Sorry Ms. Anders. I just couldn't get through it. I got to page 100 and was ready to pull my hair out with the slow pace and the flat, two-dimensional feel of the characters. The story seemed forced at times and it was all I could do not to scream.
And come on, this is a woman living alone and she just ignores all the signs that people have been in her house? No self-respecting woman living alone would be so careless - and not immediately call a cop friend to get some reassurance. From the parts I skimmed over, it appears Carolyn finally got her game on, except for the marriage.
Since I figured out "who done it" pretty quickly, I just skipped to the end to see if the led heroine finally got her stuff together. Thankfully, she did,but not in time to save my sanity.

The first page grabbed my attention immediately. It is a very suspenseful book that made me want to cheat and go to the back of the book to find out who did it. But it is so well written that I didn't want to ruin my enjoyment of the book.
I have recommended this book to all my friends and relatives. Those who have read it have also been hooked on the first page and also love the book.

I loved the book. Couldn't put it down even after my family went to bed and I was alone in a quite house. Finally , I had to put the book aside and curl up against my husband,reassuring myself that I was safe, that no one was out there watching. I finished the book after the sun came up in the mornng. Scary. But I loved it.

As all of Donna Ander's books; the susupense kept me on the edge of my seat. I have read all of her books and am eagerly anticipating the next one. If you like suspense, you will love reading a book by Donna Ander's.
