The more I read these Mary Higgins Clark books, the more I like them. Here is a good Christmas story that I just finished ready. Yes, a little late, I know. But better late than never.
It is a new twist on an old classic. Sterling Brooks is dead and is waiting for his turn to go to heaven. How long
It reminded me a lot of "Its a wonderful life". Yes, all the characters evovle. It is a happy ending and quite predictable as far as a story is concerned but it is entertaining nonetheless. I highly recommend reading it.
