A killer turns a young family's dream holiday into an unfathomable nightmare....Menley Nichols and her husband, Adam, a criminal attorney, rent a house on Cape Cod, in the hope of restoring their faltering marriage. The birth of their daughter, Hannah, has revitalized their relationship, but Menley has never stopped blaming herself for the accidental death of her two-year-old son. The serenity of the Cape promises a new start.
In Remember House, an eighteenth-century landmark with a sinister past, strange incidents force Menley to relive the accident that killed her son, and she begins to fear for Hannah's safety. Then Adam takes on a client suspected of murder when his wealthy young bride of only three months drowns in a storm -- and the family is drawn into a rising tide of terror. A confrontation on a dark, rain-swept beach leads to a harrowing climax that only Mary Higgins Clark could have created.

A really good book by Mary Higgins Clark. As I have said I don't think I have read one of hers that I haven't liked.

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

On my personal scale I gave this book a B+. I would have given it an A but for some reason the main character's name irritated me LOL. Menley and her husband are living on Cape Cod where Menley is suffering from Post Pardom Depression after having their baby Hannah coupled with the constant reminder that she was driving when a train struck the car killing her first child Bobby. So when Menley starts hearing things in their big house on the Cape it is so very hard to determine if she is really hearing things or if she is venturing off this side of sanity. This is a fairly good mystery and once again proves why MHC is the Queen of Suspense. It keeps you wondering about Menley through the whole thing. On a side note I did feel that there were a few too many characters that I had a little trouble keeping straight but overall this did not effect my enjoyment of the book.

Good book, very good writing (of course! it Mary Higgins Clark). Keeps you guesing as to, guilt, innocent, guilty... Kept me on the edge of my seat sometimes, overall fun read.
