This book had all the right ingredients for a good thriller — love, money, murder, drugs, blackmail… Instead it was a hot mess. Very choppy, very hurried in parts, characters you can’t relate to because you don’t *know* anything about them. Kay and Peter’s entire meeting, courtship,

wedding, and honeymoon is covered in 4 pages, which makes it very hard to buy their devotion to one another. I finished it to see what the ending twist would be, but it wasn’t very enjoyable. Show Less

This reads like a Danielle Steel book....rich guy in mansion marries poor young librarian, dead former wife/girlfriend, etc. The mystery part of it was pretty good--although the author tried too hard to point the reader in the wrong direction. This is not one of her better books.

Haven't picked up a Mary Higgins Clark novel that I haven't liked. This one was no exception. Very good.

This reminds me of the traditional Mary Higgins Clark novel - lots of characters and an unsolved mystery...and of course the person that you are led to believe "did it," did not. However, the author leaves enough doubt in your mind for you to wonder....

A great way to pass the time. Higgins Clark has not lost her touch for great plots even if the very end is rather corny.

I haven't read Mary Higgins Clark in years but I really liked this. It was a good story and a fast read. Also, I live in NJ so it's neat to be familiar with the locations.

Kay plans a fundraiser to fund her literacy cause and enlists Peter Carrington's support in holding the fundraiser in his mansion. This is the same mansion where her father worked as a groundskeeper and she has memories of the mansion as a child. There is an immediate attraction between Peter Carrington and Kathryn and their relationship proceeds quickly. Peter is accused murder and Kay stands behind him and yet has moments of doubt or at least is concerned with the timing of her relationship and the coincidence of their relationship with the accusation of his involvement in the deaths.
As usual Clark weaves a tale of mystery, romance and suspense. I have been reading her books for many years and her books continue to be of very high interest.

As always, Mary Higgins Clark knows how to deliver. My only complaint with this one is that the events stem from a childhood memory in which the main character seems to have experienced amnesia rather than simply have been young. The latter would have been more believable to me, but this is still a
