It has been ten years since twenty-one-year-old Mack went missing. He walked out of his apartment one day and has never been seen again. Every year on Mother's Day, he makes a phone call to his mother. He tells her he's fine, refuses to answer any of her questions and hangs up.

Mack's sister, Carolyn, is determined to find her brother. While she loves and misses him, she is also angry for what he has put their mother through.

I have been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark from day one. I know when I pick up one of her books to read I will not be disappointed. This book is no exception.

I was really disappointed with this book - I thought the plot "idea" was fantastic and anyone would be eager to turn the pages to find out what happened. The writing itself was boring and in a way factually stated you didn't feel like you were part of the story or feel the characters personalities, you were more briefed on them to the point of repetitiveness; the book had no life. I felt like I was reading a report on a book chapter by chapter with too many choppy characters of no significance - instead of being intertwined in a good story.

But what ruined it the most for me was the fact that before you were even halfway through the book it was so blatantly obvious as too what happened but more so incredulous was that characters in the book had not even the slightest deduction that you the reader comes too and that was absurd. I wanted to stop reading the book right then, the only thing I didn't know was the who & the why and those were minor to the story line the mysterious plot for me was dead.

I did continue reading for the benifit of the doubt and I can't say it got any better and when the story was over I thought even less of it as a mystery - I'd say it was a quick thrown out book with little thought past the "idea" of a good story, which was too bad because I think this could have been an excellent story.

This book is such an awsome read. It was so hard to put down. I was so shocked at the end. All through the book she keeps you guessing, but it is one of those that you never get.

I've read 99% of MHC's books and have enjoyed all of them. This book was no exception, however, it was not one of here better books. A lot of the "same old, same old" type of characters, lots of twists and turns and a somewhat surprise ending. A MHC book will not disappoint.

I didn't think this book was up to the suspence Mary Higgens Clark is known for. Usually with her books i can't hardly put them down. This one made no difference if I finished it or not.

This is the 1st MHC book I have read and not sure that I will be reading another one. I liked the book well enough but found it confusing- too many characters and I had trouble following who was who. Ending was rather disappointing. Great idea for a book but jus fell flat in the end. Sigh.

This book was exciting and hard to out think. I was not sure "whodunit" until the very end. I would recommend this, a fast read.

This is the second book of Clark's I've read. This one didn't disappoint to keep me engaged and entertained. Only down side is that she uses a lot of characters. Make sure you pay attention to each character or you will be left confused at the end.

Mary Higgins Clark puts an interesting twist on a sister's search for her missing
brother!

He is thought to be dead yet every year on Mothers Day - someone who sounds like him
makes a quick call to the Mom to wish her Happy Mothers Day.

This is a great read with plenty of intrique and some romance too.
