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. ;)

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.

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.

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.
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.

Story takes place in Spring Lake, Monmouth County, New Jersey, which is 10 miles from my home. References to restaurants and lankmarks made the story come alive - more so than usual. Mary Higgins Clark is ALWAYS a great read.
