Search - Where Are You Now?

It has been ten years since twenty-one-year-old Mack went missing. He walked out of his apartment one day and has never been seen again. Every year on Mother's Day, he makes a phone call to his mother. He tells her he's fine, refuses to answer any of her questions and hangs up.

Mack's sister, Carolyn, is determined to find her brother. While she loves and misses him, she is also angry for what he has put their mother through.

I have been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark from day one. I know when I pick up one of her books to read I will not be disappointed. This book is no exception.

I was really disappointed with this book - I thought the plot "idea" was fantastic and anyone would be eager to turn the pages to find out what happened. The writing itself was boring and in a way factually stated you didn't feel like you were part of the story or feel the characters personalities, you were more briefed on them to the point of repetitiveness; the book had no life. I felt like I was reading a report on a book chapter by chapter with too many choppy characters of no significance - instead of being intertwined in a good story.

But what ruined it the most for me was the fact that before you were even halfway through the book it was so blatantly obvious as too what happened but more so incredulous was that characters in the book had not even the slightest deduction that you the reader comes too and that was absurd. I wanted to stop reading the book right then, the only thing I didn't know was the who & the why and those were minor to the story line the mysterious plot for me was dead.

I did continue reading for the benifit of the doubt and I can't say it got any better and when the story was over I thought even less of it as a mystery - I'd say it was a quick thrown out book with little thought past the "idea" of a good story, which was too bad because I think this could have been an excellent story.

If you love Mary you will love this book. Its her typical style,fast moving and quick reading. I love Mary and have been a fan forever. I met her in person at a small group luncheon that she attended as a fundraiser and she is just the nicest most down to earth person you can meet. She LOVES her fans and truly appreciates each and every one!

This book was excellent! A real page turner and quick read.

Good book. Mary Higgins Clark is a very good writer

This is the 1st MHC book I have read and not sure that I will be reading another one. I liked the book well enough but found it confusing- too many characters and I had trouble following who was who. Ending was rather disappointing. Great idea for a book but jus fell flat in the end. Sigh.
