I had not read any books by Tina Wainscott. I grabbed this just from the back cover writing. It was scary and creepy. I tried to read it at night but had to stop because I was getting the creeps.

Maggie's sister is being stalked. No one believes it and Maggie isnt sure she does either. When her sister is brutally attacked....she becomes a believer. Maggie gets involved...too involved and the stalker begin to bite away slowly at Maggies life. First her mother, her job, her friends and finally her son.

I dont want to spoil any surprises but if you are a single women living alone...read it in the day time!

Maggie believes she had a normal life. Her relationship with County Attorney, Marcus Antonelli was made even better as he understood and had a good relationship with her son, Lucas. Then her sister Dana confides to Maggie that she is being stalked and fears for her life. After brutal physical and emotional assaults, Dana's misery ends. When her case came to trial and it appeared Colin will escape justice, Maggie 'stretched the truth' and positively identifies Colin as the man she saw leaving her sister's home. But as the saying goes, lies come back to haunt.

Dana wasn't the first 'pet' Colin Masters had stalked and she wouldn't be the last as he was proud of his skills. But first, Dana's sister Maggie must pay for interfering. Having Aidan nearby for protection would not save her.

I hesitated on reading the story as the blurb expressed such a dark plot. By chapter 3 I was pulled into the story trusting that Ms Wainscott would not leave me crying in the end. Using a predictable criminal profile with some unexpected plot twists, this story continues to intrigue until the end. Wringing a wide range of emotions viewing various relationships from Maggie's perspective, the author pulls it all together in the end, showing the true meaning of ROMANTIC suspense. In a style that Alfred Hitchcock would approve, this psychological thriller introduces believable characters in horrific circumstances and still concludes with positive elements of justice and Happily-Ever-After.

Excellent book, suspenseful, a definite page turner. This book is among the many well written books by Tina Wainscott. I have read several books by her, and absolutely loved each one. Tina Wainscott has become one of my favorite authors. I cannot get enough of her books. Her stories are filled with mystery, and the twists and turns keep you guessing. Highly recommend "Until The Day You Die," and all of her other books. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction.

I am always pleased with the service I get from Amazon. Every item shipped by Amazon arrives on schedule and in good condition. Once or twice when I had an issue with another seller whose product I purchased on Amazon's website, Amazon handled the matter quickly, and to my satisfaction.

This was probably one of the most suspenseful books I've ever read, and once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. Despite the fact that I figured out Colin's partner early on, and how creepy the book was thanks to Colin, this one's a definite don't miss!

This is my first book by Wainscott and it won't be my last. This book just gave me the creeps; I can't imagine what it would be like to be stalked by someone as crazy as Colin Masters and not be able to prove it. I was surprised in the end about who his partner was; I had guessed wrong. Well worth reading, I couldn't put it down. Oh, and make sure your doors are locked before you start reading!

Maggie Fletcher finds her sister, Dana battered, raped and dying. She believes Colin Masters killed her sibling as he was stalking her from the moment he saw her working at the Mystic Café. Maggie's testimony convicted Masters, but she perjured herself as she had no hard evidence that he committed the homicide. Masters goes to prison, but the harassment of Maggie begins.

Six months later worried about her nine years old son Luke, Maggie moves them to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. However, three years pass, but Masters is free seeking to destroy the woman who lied on the witness stand. She knows he will target anyone she loves before he comes for her.

UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE is an exciting dark thriller that grips the audience from the onset when a terrorized Dana tells her sister that he sees her when she is sleeping, he sees her when she is working, and he sees her whenever he desires. The tale is at its best when the heroine is front and center as she provides a first person account of her actions, motives, and fears especially a sort of déjà vu feeling that she is repeating the last days of her sister. When other players especially the villain take center stage, the third person usage seems contrastingly off kilter as the audience never gets inside the head of the killer. Filled with twists and starring a devious malevolent villain, Tina Wainscott provides an exhilarating character driven suspense.
