wonderful read
1. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Beth Gregory is young and full of uncertainties. Memories of her parents deaths and of the visions that plagued her afterward darken Beths days and strain her relationship with her over-protective brother Andrew. Yearning to finally break out on her own, Beth applies for a job as live-in assistant for independent artist, Josh Warrington.
Feeling both nervous and excited, Beth takes the job. On her first tour of Joshs beautiful estate she sees a reflection in the lake, a reflection that isnt hers. The visions return and reveal murders of women with long hair. Bodies turn up. Beth is questioned by the police.
Beth finds herself falling in love with Josh and fearing his long time housekeeper who seems even more protective of Josh than Andrew is of Beth. More bodies are discovered and Beths visions grow more disturbing, leading her to believe the next murder will be hers.
The more this story progresses, the faster the pace moves, diving through twists and turns. This is a wonderful thriller, sure to keep you hooked and guessing until the last page is turned.

An exciting thriller!
30. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Wow! Ms. Gisby has written an exciting thriller! DROWNING RUPUNZEL is definitely my kind of read. From start to finish, I couldn't put this book down. The main character, Beth Gregory is alive, no matter that the reader knows this is fiction. Will she ever find the peace that she so desires? Through all the twists and turns, you won't know until the very end. How awful to find out you are scheduled to be a victim of your own affliction. What do I mean? Get a copy of this book and find out. You will be sorry if you don't, because the next vision Beth has-may be you as the victim. Don't believe in physic ability? You will when you read this thriller.
Reviewed by award-winning author, Bobby Ruble, author of Have No Mercy and co-author with wife, Kam, of Black Rosebud: Have No Mercy II.

Read it straight through, which kept me up half the night!
25. April 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Beth Gregory's "gift," silent since her release from a mental hospital, comes back to life after she accepts the job of live-in assistant to an independently wealthy painter. Having future events take place before her eyes, reflected in mirrors or watery surfaces, is a psychic talent that Beth can neither control nor appreciate. After all, it was this "gift" that caused her physician brother to have her committed in the first place-and one of her two great fears, now, is that Andrew will send her back there.
Her other fear is that the visions disrupting her new life (and her first real independence from her family) will come true. Which they do. Repeatedly.
I should know better than to begin an Annette Gisby book toward the end of the evening. As usual, I wound up sitting right where I was and reading it straight through. I am not a fan of the thriller genre, but "Drowning Rapunzel" is not a conventional thriller. This author doesn't rely on blood and gore to shock her readers into an appropriately unnerved state. Instead she writes about ordinary people doing ordinary things, lulling us right along with her heroine...until she drops the tale's next bombshell.
Like Beth Gregory, we soon find ourselves reaching out-with heightened senses and ever growing dread-to probe the motives and analyze the actions of the story's other characters. We know as well as she does that the killer of long-haired women, whose handiwork she keeps seeing (always before the crime takes place), has her on his list. Also like Beth, we won't know until the last minute who that killer will turn out to be. Her talented but eccentric employer? Her overprotective, temperamental brother? A staff member from the mental hospital? Or is it someone else entirely?
I figured it out exactly one paragraph before Beth did. Let's see if you can do any better!
