This one is probably my favorite MHC book. Most of her stuff I find a little simplistic, and this was really no different, but the mixture of the writing style and the plot really added something this time around.

Helpful Score: 2
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!

Lacey Farrell, the heroine of Mary Higgins Clark's 15th novel, is having a bit of an identity crisis. While working as a real estate agent in New York, Lacey witnessed a client's murder, and now she's in hiding with a new name and a new life. But changing her identity doesn't completely remove Lacey from the web of danger and deceit that surrounds the crime; new clues keep popping up that suggest some kind of link between Lacey's family and the murder. Meanwhile, a new man comes into the heroine's life, further complicating an already murky situation. As any fan will tell you, Mary Higgins Clark never fails to deliver plot twists and turns that are as unexpected as they are thrilling.

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.
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.

Excellant read! Suspensefull to the last page.
what happens when a young woman, having been in the wrong place at the wrong time, is accidently caught up in a dangerous investigation? What happens when she is placed under police protection, forced to give up her identity and move to another part of the country, at least until the killer can be positively identified and apprehended? What happens when in her new life she meets the perfect man, only she can't risk falling in love because she can't tell anyone-even him, especially him-who she really is?
"Pretend You Don't See Her" was a well researched book with interesting insight into the witness protection program. Unlike a lot of thrillers, this novel was easy to follow. However, the characters did not leap off the page and many of the scenarios seemed implausible. If I'd related better to Lacey, the protagonist, I might have gotten more chills on her behalf. Having said all that, this is still a good book to take on a plane or to the doctor's waiting room.
Could not put this book down, great beach read.
Love all her books.
