The latest from the Clark suspense factory has a spunky New Jersey prosecutor, Kerry McGrath, as its heroine in danger. Kerry has taken an interest in a 10-year-old murder case, in which Skip Reardon had been found guilty of slaying his beautiful wife, Suzanne, and has since been pleading his innocence from his jail cell. When Kerry's small daughter, Robin, goes to a New York plastic surgeon after a car crash, it is apparent that Dr. Smith, who was Suzanne's father, is weird. He seems to be fashioning the faces of young women to resemble his dead daughter?and it was his testimony that sent Skip to jail. Kerry's interest in the case (and her parallel interest in Skip's good-guy lawyer) may harm her chances of a judgeship, and it also draws the ominous attention of another possible suspect, James Weeks, a wealthy real-estate magnate with rumored mob connections. Then there's elegant, tasteful art burglar Jason Arnott, who had also known Suzanne.... As usual, Clark's plot, unfolded in dozens of short chapters, is convoluted, full of red herrings and finally wrapped up with a villain out of left field. The writing is crisp but colorless, characterization minimal, atmosphere nonexistent; but the cozy evocation of a deserving damsel in distress who attains a happy ending seems never to disappoint her legions of fans.

Prosecutor Kerry McGrath chances upon a plastic surgeon who just happens to "create" beautiful new faces for women. The fact that all of the beautiful "new" faces are dead ringers for each other sets the plot for this Mary Higgins Clark thriller.

Another good one by Clark!

This is another great Mary Higgins Clark mystery. It will keep you guessing who the murderer is until the very end. When the main character has to take her daughter to a plastic surgeon after a car accident, she realizes that he seems to create the same face for all of his patients--the face of his daughter who was murdered. I did not guess who the real bad guy was til I read it near the end. It was a great book!

You won't know who is guilty until the end of the book...at least you'll never be 100% sure. A good mystery.

It's a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeon's office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughter's scars will heal, she spies a familiar-looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of deja vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting face -- on another woman -- she has an intense flash of recognition: it's the face of Suzanne Reardon who was killed more than ten years ago.....

First Mary Higgins Clark I have read. Good if you like mysteries...

I really like her writing and style of mystery. Just enough intrigue to keep me reading, yet not over the top on scary.

Mary Higgins Clark is an excellent author. A mystery with vague hints of romance, this book was a page turner that kept me in suspense to the very end.
