On the edge of my seat

Lost Island is yet another brilliant book by Phyllis A. Whitney. It does drag on a little at the beginning of the book, as the other books I've read by her do as well, but it is to establish a background for the characters throughout the book-something I think is necessary. Upon getting through the background of the characters, I was unable to put the book down. Phyllis A. Whitney is gifted in keeping her books suspenseful to the very end-and there are often quite a few twists along the way. I highly suggest this book. Other books I have read by her are Poinciana and Woman Without A Past-also very good books.

Kept me hanging....

I read Lost Island on the way back from a vacation, and I was unable to put it down. The book dragged a little bit at the beginning, but I was so into it so I didn't mind. It was a great suspense novel; I never guessed who it was who murdered Elise. One of my favorite Whitney books! :)

Great

Lost Island is my favorite pf Whitney's books. It is sweet, sad, and suprising. I also recommend Columbella and Star Flight
