Book Reviews of I Heard That Song Before

After being disappointed by "Two Little Girls In Blue" I was almost afraid to read this one. Mrs. Clark came through, and wrote a "whodunit" that left me guessing till the end. The main characters are well developed and realistic, and the crimes could have actually happened, as opposed to some of her previously stretched plots. I'll take another chance on the next book she writes also.

I stopped reading MHC a few years ago because I didn't find her newer novels as good or as exciting as her older ones. After a friend recommended this, I read it in about a day. I think this storyline is more like the old MHC and I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I gave her another chance!

Mary Higgins Clark is a national treasure. I read her first book, WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?, when it was first published 30 years ago, and I've faithfully read every one since. When it comes to neo-Gothic romantic suspense, she never disappoints. Her new novel is particularly enjoyable.

We have the heroine, Kay, the daughter of the landscaper for a great estate house in New Jersey. We have the house itself, complete with lush gardens and hidden chapel. And we have the brooding master of the house, with whom Kay falls in love against her own better judgement. It seems a young woman in his past disappeared mysteriously, then his pregnant first wife committed "suicide." Nearly everyone suspects him of being a ladykiller, including the police. And Kay just might be the next lady on his list....

Clark is one of the few writers who can take these classic ingredients and mix them together into a story that always seems fresh and new. It is a remarkable talent. If you enjoy her stories as much as I do, you'll want to read this one.

Enjoyable. Not one of her best, though. Quick read.

Fantastic murder mystery. It kept me guessing the whole time. I was back and forth and loved it! Love the short chapters, too, but it was still very fast-paced anyway. Definitely a must-read.

"I Heard That Song Before is a mystery about a series of deaths that may or may not be related and that may or may not be murders. The characters here are very interesting and well-rounded. While it may not be Mary Higgins Clark's best work, it was an interesting, enjoyable read.

I enjoyed!!

There is quite a mix of characters in this book with many different personalities and lifestyles. This is a well written book. It is a good, fast paced read that was suspenseful.

I could not put this book down. It was excellent

This is your typical Mary Higgins Clark book....grabs you right away and a quick and easy read. She knows how to weave a tale that will surely keep the reader interested from beginning to end.

Convoluted suspense novel about a young woman whose wealthy groom is suddenly implicated in a decades-old murder. Too many characters to easily keep track of; huge lumps of expository material; and a very-late-in-the-book revelation about the victim which comes totally out of left field with no previous supporting info and no indication -- ever! -- as to how the investigator found out.

This book is a good easy read, predictable MHC but interesting nonetheless.

Another good suspense/mystery from M.H.C!

This book is not one of her best but I still found myself not wanting to put it down.

**** Great book! MHC never disappoints me. Another one of my favorites.

A good light enjoyable read. Typical of MHC.

Can't go wrong with a Mary Higgins Clark book.

This book was a good read.I read this book fast and I enjoyed it.The premise of the book deals with sleepwalking and how it is viewed when a murder or crime may be committed and a good mystery.
I enjoy most of her books.

Not as good as some of her other books, but still an interesting who done it story. It's a story about 2 murders and the one man everyone in town believes did it. But did he really? His new wife, Kay, wants to solve the mystery that could put her husband in jail for life.

One of Mary Higgens best books so far. Leaves you quessing till the end! 4 stars

This is a great book!!!

Great suspenseful mystery.

A little slower read then most of her other books, but I still enjoyed it.

Another page-turner from Mary Higgins Clark, I enjoyed this book.

Great mystery - easy to read. Enjoyable

Another Good Book by Mary Higgns Clark.I love all her books.

It was kind of easy to figure out who did the crime, but it was still a pleasant read.

Another winner by Clark! You don't really know who to trust in this book and you will never guess the killer's motive!!!

Brand new book--just not one I wish to keep.

Goood!
