Description

"The mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) and undisputed Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark brings us another New York Times bestselling novel that she "prepares so carefully and executes with such relish" (The New York Times Book Review) about the murder of a respected doctor--and his beautiful young wife charged with the crime. Dr. Gary Lasch, famous Greenwich, Connecticut doctor and founder of the HMO Remington Health Management, is found dead in his home, his skull crushed by a blow with a heavy bronze sculpture, and his wife, Molly, in bed covered with his blood. It was the Lasches' housekeeper, Edna Barry, who made the grisly discovery the morning after Molly's unexpectedly early return from Cape Cod, where she had gone to seclude herself upon learning of her husband's infidelity. As the evidence against Molly grows, her lawyer plea-bargains a manslaughter charge to avoid a murder conviction. Released from prison nearly six years later, Molly reasserts her innocence to reporters, among them an old school friend, Fran Simmons, an investigative reporter and anchor for a true-crime show. Molly convinces Fran to research and produce a program on her husband's death. As hidden aspects of Gary Lasch's life and the affairs of Remington Health Management come to light, is Fran herself the next target for murder?… (more)

I like Mary Higgins Clark stories cuz they're quick and easy to read. Nothing you have to think about too hard. This one was pretty good "” I actually didn't have it figured out before I was supposed to.

Good read. I actually took a one-year break from reading this book (not sure why, really) once I picked it back up again, I couldn't put it down. Although a typical murder mystery, it was still a thriller and definitely enjoyable.

This was a great read. It moved at a frenetic pace, kept me guessing until right at the end (I guessed whodunnit about three pages before the identity was revealed so don't know whether I can really claim that one...) and set up some really dramatic situations.

This was my first MHC book and I must say I thought it was a most enjoyable read. I am wondering which one to start next. OK it was an obvious plot but well written and built to a thrilling end. Does Fran Simmons appear again in any other book ? I hope so

I usually LOVE MHC, and this one was a little disappointing. I was bored and kept waiting for it to pick up...Still an enjoyable read, just not nearly as enjoyable as many of her others!

Very interesting story.

I loved this book. I had forgotten how much I love Mary Higgins Clark. She doesn't have a set formula, her characters are always fully fleshed out and the reader wants to keep reading.

Molly Carpenter Lasch is accused of murdering her husband quite brutally with a Remington bronze sculpture and is incarcerated on those charges. Her memory of that night was nonexistant until she was out on parole and bit by bit events of that evening started fitting into place. It was surprisingly

easy to keep track of the characters in the book, and the ending was not at all anticipated. I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys suspense.
