Suspenseful page-turner set in Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Her first mystery, I believe. Thrilling, chilling! It kept my attention, even though I have read it many times before. Well-written, believable characters. I enjoy her older works the most. This mystery is about a woman who has fled her past, and an accusation of murdering her children, to start a new life in New England. She marries again, has two more children, and life is getting back to normal. Until she goes outside to fetch her children from their playtime one morning, only to discover they are missing.

I found the suspense thin and the plot predicatable. Not her best

My second reading; I wanted to reread after I read Mary Higgins Clark's biography and learned this was her first book. I get mixed up on names with this author; so taking notes is important.

Oh my! This book was SO intense! I could not put it down. I stayed up late so I could finish it. I had never read anything from Mary Higgins Clark prior, I had judged her (by her name) to be a happy friendly read. I was really taken off guard and fear reading anything from her again! I was scared to find out what happend to the children but I just HAD to know so I couldn't put it down. If you like roller coaster reads then you will be in for a treat. I was freaked out! :D

I feel that this story was one of her best! Riveting and yet heartbreaking at times. A great read but beware if you have children. It can be a real eye-opener at times for Moms.
