This is Mary Higgins Clark at her very best. I started this book in the afternoon and didn't put it down until I had finished at 12:30 that night. Her characters are real and the story is tense, right up to the very end [although I had guessed the villian before the final pages], but isn't that the fun of a good mystery?....seeing if you have figured it out.

A GUY'S REVIEW:
My sister-in-law lent me a stack of her books. This book was in the pile, and for her sake I read it. It was torture. If this is one of MHC's best, then I'm done reading MHC. I told my wife that it reads like a bad Lifetime movie, so I wasn't surprised when she told me that alot of Lifetime movies are adaptations from MHC novels. Sorry girls, I had to give the guys fair warning. I'll just back away slowly now. ;)

Great suspenseful read. Now I know why they call her the queen of suspense. Loved it will definitely be reading more of her works. In fact I already bought a 7 book lot of her books and cant wait to tear into those.

I guess I'm weird, because I didn't find this book entertaining. All of MHC's stories sound alike. They're all farfetched and dull.
Helpful Score: 5
This was a really good book. I liked the mysterious past murders. MHC can often be predictable, but still she spins a good story and doesnt give away too much.
