Search - All Around the Town

When a 21-yr. old student is accused of killing her English professor, she has no memory of the crime. But her fingerprints are everywhere at the scene. Laurie's sister, Sarah, takes up her defense and brings in a psychiatrist to deal with Laurie's multiple personalities. With a terrifying twist at the climax, this is a breathtaking journey into Laurie's tortured past.

This is a great whodunit. Although I did have some suspicions regarding the suspect, I did not come close to guessing some of the places this plot takes the reader. A slightly different twist than I have seen before regarding a character with multiple personalities, appears to be pretty realistic with the portrayal. A very enjoyable book – I stayed up late to finish it because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened!

I started reading Mary Higgins Clark books with my grandmother, and from my 4th grade on, we were swapping Mary Higgins Clark books back and forth between one another. This one is probably my favorite, however. I re-read it from time to time (as with most of her books, this is a VERY fast read) when I am looking to read an exciting book, or feel like reading about Multiple Personality Disorder.
