Summary: My wife liked it, I'd have passed

Summary: Nighttime is My Time
Review: This book is a letdown for fans of Mary Higgins Clark. There are too many characters, each is underdeveloped. There are five or six possibilities for 'the Owl'; I had a hard time telling them apart. The main character is dull and hard to care about. Hopefully the author will be back to her normal good form with the next book.

Summary: Not very good at all!
Review: Jean Sheridan is returning to her hometown for the twenty-year reunion of alumni of Stonecraft Academy, where she will be honored alongside six other class members. Upon arriving Jean gets a bad feeling about the reunion, especially since a fellow classmate died days before under suspicious circumstances, but she goes through with the party only to have her bad feeling become a reality. As the party gets under way Jean receives a mysterious fax exposing a secret that she has kept all her adult life. Who could have found out the secret and what do they want? These are the question that plague Jean, but in the middle of this turmoil comes another shock...Laura Wilcox, a fellow classmate and good friend to Jean disappears. Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed with the unsolved murder of a young woman, who may also hold the key to Laura's disappearance, and with his help she can find her friend and put a stop to the threatening letters she is receiving. Before long, another body turns up and Jean and Sam find out this is the work of a twisted individual known as the Owl. The Owl is on a mission of vengeance against the Stonecraft women who mocked and humiliated him and he won't stop until his last victim has been claimed, that last victim being Jean. 'Nighttime Is My Time' missed the mark on being an exciting read. This novel should have been better than it was, but the introduction of too many characters and over-abundance of scenes that had nothing to do with the story made it boring. Nothing in this book worked for me, the plot twists were unexciting and even the reveal of the killer's identity came with no real surprise, by the time I finished the book I didn't care what happened. Mary Higgins Clark has written many excellent suspense novels, unfortunately this is not one of them. Suspense has always been a key element in a Clark novel, but this time it was left out for uninteresting character development. In all her years writing best-selling suspense novels, Clark, has only written a few books I didn't like, this being one of them, alongside 'Moonlight Becomes Her' which I feel was her worst. Better luck next time. Nick Gonnella

Summary: Good Listening
Review: I listened as I drove in the car. I thought I had figured out "who-dun-it" several times. Because I like mysteries, I enjoy Clark's books. This one is in an interesting setting with some special characters to get acquainted with and a puzzle to the end.

Summary: Loved this one; use a matrix to follow the suspects
Review: I've been in a dry spell in the past month trying to get involved in a book and this one cured me - I found it extremely gripping, fun and impossible to put down. When I started, my attempt to keep track of the main characters (and in particular the five male suspects) was just impossible. I finally took out a piece of paper and started taking notes in a matrix form - on everything including height, appearance, occupation, place of residence, nicknames, etc. This made the book much more fun to read. And the author really pulls no punches - she provided no inauthentic or inconsistent information meaning that you can ultimately deduce the identity of the killer. Without this matrix of suspects, however, I know I would have been lost and probably would have found it impossible to follow and thus difficult to enjoy.

Summary: I miss her old writing style
Review: Mary Higgins Clark sure doesn't write them like she used to. I remember how suspenseful her first works were and truly miss that. One major problem that I find with this book, and has been the case for the last few, is that she has too many suspects and they are all someone the main character knows. I like the anononymity she once gave her "bad guys". I never felt any suspense in this story, but I kept reading so I could find out which of the many suspicious characters was "the Owl". The overall feel of this book has been the same in the last 3-4 books she has written. They definitly are not page-turners and don't have me wishing I could sit and read more of the book. I have always been a Mary Higgins Clark fan and I guess I will continue to read her books, although they are not my top choice anymore. I keep hoping the next one will be where she finds her stride again.

Summary: Hoot, Hoot, Hoot says the Owl.......
Review: This book was terrific. There are so many twists and turns that you did not know what to think. The fact that all the girls were friends and that Jeannie had a secret that she thought was safe. All the different personalities were set just right to keep the story alive. This book was a good page turner and had the suspense, action, drama and spicey ingredients to make you keep reading and not put the book down. Mary Higgins Clark is definitely the true queen of suspense and drama. I can't wait to see what the next novel will bring.
