Book Description:
In the gripping new novel from America's Queen of Suspense, a young woman is haunted by two murders that are closely linked -- despite the one hundred and ten years that separate them.

Following the acrimonious breakup of her marriage and the searing experience of being pursued by an obsessed stalker, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham accepts an offer to leave Albany and work in a major law firm in Manhattan.

Feeling a need for roots, she buys her ancestral home, a restored Victorian house in the historic New Jersey seaside resort town of Spring Lake. Her family had sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily's forebears, Madeline Shapley, then still a young girl, disappeared.

Now, more than a century later, as the house is being renovated and the backyard excavated for a pool, the skeleton of a young woman is found. She is identified as Martha Lawrence, who had disappeared from Spring Lake over four year ago. Within her skeletal hand is the finger bone of another woman with a ring still on it -- a Shapley family heirloom.

In seeking to find the link between her family's past and the recent murder, Emily becomes a threat to a devious and seductive killer, who has chosen her as the next victim.

I loved this book!!!! It was so good that I couldn't put it down. It was really hard to figure out who the killer was. You were lead to believe it was one person and then another. I have always loved her books and this one did not dissapoint me. I wish it had been longer.

I thought this book was mediocre at best, just your average whodunit. The story was interesting, but I was able to figure out whodunit. Therefore, I was a bit disappointed. I like to be shocked and surprised. This was my first Mary Higgins Clark read. I wasn't too impressed. If all of her books are as predictable as this one was, then I fail to understand why she is so popular!

I haven't read Mary Higgins Clark in a while. Not because I haven't enjoyed her books, just because I have been busy reading others. I picked up this book and could not put it down. It kept me interested throughout the book. I highly recommend this book.

While it is not the genre I usually read, I enjoyed the story. Although it would have been more suspenseful if I hadn't figured out two of the three mysteries a lot sooner than the author's reveal. There were times that the red hearings made the book drag, but mainly because I had already figured out they were not the ones responsible. I found the nineteenth century murder and the investigation of it the most interesting part of the book.

As murders from today tie into murders from 100+ years ago, the Author keeps you guessing till the very end. Great read! Mary Higgins Clark at her finest.
