Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Poor Joanna Carr! Six months in a catatonic state, and now she awakens to find that her "perfect" husband, David, is dead, felled, apparently, by the same villain who knocked her silly that dreadful night so long ago. As if that's not bad enough, after she returns home to Pennoryn, the cozy cottage she and David created together, she begins having these most disturbing memories of her marriage. Could it be that David was not the angel she had imagined? Could he instead have been a sleazy, porno-loving, masochistic fiend who tied her up and committed unspeakable acts on their marriage bed? And what about her horribly evil family, who're wallowing in an incestuous muddle of ignorance and abuse? Were her brutish brothers involved in David's untimely and violent death? Or is the perpetrator of that crime Joanna's noble childhood savior, Michael, now a successful and handsome artist? Who among this cast of characters can the beleaguered Joanna trust? Talk about melodrama! Talk about intrigue! Talk about a modern-day bosom-heaving damsel-in-distress story! I'll Love You Till I Die has all of it, plus the backdrop of the rolling English countryside, just like, as the book's promoters point out, Daphne du Maurier's works. Well, perhaps the rolling English countryside bears comparison, but that's where the similarity between the authors ends. I'll Love You Till I Die keeps readers guessing, but basically this is simply lightweight fun-the kind of thing that squeezes perfectly between suntan lotion and a glass of iced tea.

Great British Romantic Mystery,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'LL LOVE YOU TIL IDIE (Hardcover)
Set in rural Cornwall, "I'll Love You Till I Die" follows 30-year-old Joanna Carr as she recovers from her 6-month-long catatonia, which was caused by witnessing her husband (David) being murdered, though she barely remembers the details now. Once released from the hospital, Joanna returns to her home where David died, hoping her memories will give her a clue as to who his killer was. But with the remembering comes the painful memories of her childhood (being sexually abused by her three older brothers), as well as the awful realization that one of her two childhood friends--Charlotte Dean, who is also her neighbor and possibly David's ex-lover; and Michael Lamb, who is now her fiancee--may be the killer.Overall, I thought "I'll Love You Till I Die" was a great romantic mystery, though it was slightly confusing and disorderly at the end. One good thing is that I was wrong about the killer. It's somewhat difficult to figure him/her out, even after reading the book and reflecting on the clues.

Don't Believe the Rave Reviews,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'LL LOVE YOU TIL IDIE (Hardcover)
This book, written in the first person narrative, was very disappointing after reading book reviews. The writing is disjointed, and I couldn't begin to connect with the protagonist, nor any other characters, for that matter. Any comparison to Mary Higgins Clark is in someone's vivid imagination. I had to force myself to finish this book.

WONDERFUL, EXCITING!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'LL LOVE YOU TIL IDIE (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books I've ever read!!! Fast paced, full of twists, and wonderfully plotted. I found it unpredictable. The book was so indulging and so clearly written. I'll love the book I'LL LOVE YOU TILL I DIE until I die!!! I enjoyed reading this book and made me wonder where Meg O'Brien have been all my life! I love her so much now.The novel is complete with romance, excitment, sorrow, mystery and all that. It's like Daniel Steel meets Sidney Sheldon! I will forever love this book.
