New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub returns to Mundy’s Landing—a small town where bygone bloodshed has become big business.
Hair neatly braided, hands serenely clasped, eyes closed, the young woman appeared to be sound asleep. But the peaceful tableau was a madman’s handiwork. Beneath the covers, her white nightgown was spattered with blood. At daybreak, a h ...more

Blue Moon by Wendy Corsi Staub is a 2016 William Morrow publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
As the one- hundred- year anniversary of the “Sleeping Beauty Killer’ murders approaches, Mundy’s Landing is gearing up for the annual 'Mundypalooza', where amateur sleuths and crime enthusiast flood into the community determined to solve the cold case.

Once in a Blue Moon I first started reading books by Wendy Corsi Staub over 20 years ago when she first published. Her stories are always suspenseful and characters believable. Blue Moon is about a series of murders, back in the late 1890's and left the bodies of his victims in three separate houses known as The Murder Houses and recreated in present day buy a deranged killer.We have two serial killers, one who killed three times to cover up the first one and the second known a copycat , just be

Chaos descends on Mundy’s Landing.
Annabelle starts to wonder if buying one of the notorious Murder houses was such a good idea. Sure, it was cheap, but with a socially challenged son and all of the lookie loos gathering outside, it’s not such a good deal.
One hundred years ago, three young girls, the Sleeping beauties, were murdered. Their bodies dressed in white nightgowns, arms crossed, and left in three different houses. They didn’t live in them. In fact, their identities were never discovered ...more

Mundy's Landing is famous for the murders that occurred years ago. Three girls were found dead in three different houses and the murderer was never found. The houses came to be known as the Murder Houses.
Even though they had second thoughts about purchasing a "Murder House" they went ahead and bought the house. Annabelle Bingham and her husband Trib were thrilled with all the room the house provided for the couple and their son Oliver. The couple felt they could put the bad memories of the house ...more

This is the first book I've read by Staub and it won't be the last. Be prepared to give a few days for reading as the book is long but very engaging. It would make a good beach or vacation novel. Just don't read it right before you go to bed.
The plot is a little complex. There had been three murders one hundred years ago in Mundy's Landing. The victims had remained unidentified and the killer never captured. This novel centers around a couple buying one of the houses where one of the murdered yo ...more

For a hot minute, I almost fell for one of the red-herrings but twenty pages later I realized I was wrong. Otherwise, this was pretty meh.
The "historical" aspect was a journal filled with 19th/20th century poetry. Does the SBK dare disturb the universe? He and Prufrock are equally uninteresting.
The main characters have no heat.
The big city cops with "sparks" remain unsparky.
HOWEVER, the cat-loving octagenarian spinster lived and so did her cat. WIN.

Wendy Corsi Staub brings us back to Mundy's Landing, in the second installment of her Mundy's Landing series.
If you enjoy eccentric & colorful characters then take a trip to your local bookseller today. Some of the characters from the first book in the series, "Blood Red," have made their return in Blue Moon. They are more of secondary characters but ones you will recognize. The new characters are delightful in getting to know. What I like about returning characters is the familiarity it brings ...more

This book was hard to get into and stay interested. I gave up barely a quarter of the way in because nothing was happening. It did not hold my interest. I hate giving low ratings, but I really didn't like this book.

An uninspired, redundant sequel to Blood Red.
This is the WCS story that I have come to know and love. I read this one so fast because I just couldn't put it down. The SBK murders were so interesting and I had no idea who was behind them until the end -- I did have a feeling that (view spoiler)

The history of Mundy's Landing returns to play a significant role in Book 2! The mystery of the Sleeping Beauty Murders plays out in this book, in which characters are trying to figure out the identity of the three young women found dead in three different homes in the early 1900s. The historical home of the main character this time, Annabelle, offers a clue. In addition, a time capsule that was sealed in the early 1900s is opened at the end of the book.

The first book in this series was awesome so I was expecting the same fie this one, the second in the series. It was good, but I got tired of all of the SBK's diary entries and there was SO much Purcell Family history that it felt more like a high school history class (not a good thing, in my opinion). I do.look forward to reading the third book of this trilogy because I'm curious as to the goings-on in Mundy's Landing.

This book really held my attention! It's the second of a trilogy, although it's great as a stand alone read. I loved it so much that I've got the other two on order. Looking forward to reading more by this author!

Ms. Staub always provides a fun read, though after the first ten, they can seem a bit formulaic. This one is a cross between thriller and police procedural. Second book in a series of three with much of the first forgotten, I'd better get on with the last one.

A hundred year old murder mystery is about to come alive again. Three young girls were found murdered and placed in 3 different homes 100 years ago. Munday's Landing museum curator has capitalized on this mystery. Now 100 years later she isn't so sure this was the right thing to do.

This is ok. The main characters are WEAK and whiny and quickly get on your nerves. The set up is immense the resolution is immediate. It lacks symmetry and therefore you dont get the risk a thriller is to give you.
3.5. Solid but i figured out the culprit pretty early.
This is apparently part of a trilogy. I didn't read the first one but I don't know if it was necessary. I do feel like I need to read the third so I can get some final answers from this one though.

fast paced disappointing ending

Moves along very nicely—good, engaging murder mystery with a touch of family history for fun.

Enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Enough mystery to keep it interesting
I love how the author casts enough suspicion on multiple characters to keep the reader guessing until the end.
