Book Description:
Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers' spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder -- and to the dying words of the victim.... The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal -- which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It's an impulse that later proves nearly fatal.Members who requested this book also requested:
Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date -- until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who's behind the deaths of the two women -- before she's the next casualty.
At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don't See Her is the "mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.

This was a great book that I couldn't put down. The whole story was brilliant and all the characters were well developed. I especially loved the way it didn't really unravel until the very end and there were several suprises. Even though I had a feeling of who the "bad guy" would turn out to be, there weren't really any clues. I only wish there was a little more to read about the main couple in the end. This book leaves you wanting to know more about the characters AFTER the mystery was over. It was a great read!

New York Real estate agentLacey Farrel sees a killer fleeing the apartment she is showing, only to discover the dying victim who entrusts her with her daughter's journal. The victim's daughter died under questionable circumstances that the journal may hold clues to. Placed in the witness protection program until the killer is caught, Lacey attempts to discover who is behind the two deaths. When the killer traces her to her hiding place, time begins to run out.
Good book. Chapters a bit longer than some of her earlier ones, but you still want to read it right through.

Greta S. from BATESVILLE, AR wrote on 3/8/2007...Good one! Lacey Farrell, a rising young realtor in Manhattan is witness to a murder and the dying words of the victim. She tells Lacey that the murderer was looking for her dead daughter's journal. Lacey turns the journal over to the police. That decision later proves nearly fatal.
Lacey witnesses a murder, accepts journal of dying woman's daughter, from dying woman. Is chased by mob, placed in Witness Protection. Is found, and exciting mystery unfolds. Of course, Lacey survives and falls in love. Exciting, scary, suspensful. Excellent Mary Higgins Clark.
