Book Description:
A Deadly Promise... Professor Alan Grant is found stabbed to death in his New Jersey home. All the evidence points to an obsessed student, 21 year-old Laurie Kenyon, who sent him passionate letters, followed him, even watched him through his study window---and awakens in her door room, covered with Grant's blood and clutching the knife that killed him. Attorney Sarah Kenyon, Laurie's sister, alone understands Laurie's daily nightmare and the trauma left by a childhood kidnapping too hideous too be recalled. Laurie's abductors, now a prominent televangelist and his wife, fear she will start to remember her life with them. And her past must be kept buried at all costs---even if it means carrying out the murderous threat made to a terrified girl years ago...

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.
