Summary: Mary Higgins Clark still got it
Review: I thought the book was excellent. It had its usual twists and turns and just when you think you know who the killer is, you turn the page and it renegs your theory. I always re-read/scan the book once I finish it to see what it was I missed that revealed the killer's identity. My hat is off to the author, she still is writing strong.

Summary: Good But Not Great
Review: I'm a big fan and always waiting for MHC's new book to come out. When this one came out I couldn't wait to read it. The story sort of held my interest, but the ending was non-climatic. There were lots of characters but they weren't fully developed and I was left wondering what happened to them. I was very disappointed with the ending and I think when the next book comes out I will probably wait for it in paperback.

When Emily moves into her new home in Spring Lake in an attempt to leave behind a dangerous past, a body is uncovered in her backyard and in the hand of the body are the remains of another victim more than 100 years old.As the story unfolds it is learned that a "reincarnated" serial killer is on the loose in Spring Lake.

Summary: A thumbs up, and a great tip!
Review: "On The Street..." is a thoroughly entertaining novel, though one that is built on the foundation of her usual formula. But if you're a MHC fan, you're likely to find it another positive addition to her bibliography. THE TIP... MHC fans are also likely to enjoy the work of an up-and-coming new writer from Philadelphia named Greg Ippolito.

Summary: Is It Really That Bad??
Review: I am a huge Mary Higgins Clark fan, but I really think she's started slipping. After reading several reviews for this book, I decided to go ahead and buy it. Although there were mixed reactions to this book, I thought I'd but it anyway. I'd always liked her books before and was sure I'd like this one too. Not true! There were far too many characters with very little depth to them. The main character, Emily, lacked personality as well. When I finally got to the end, I wasn't all that surprised as to who the killer was. This book lacks a good plot and has little imagination. A Word of advice--- Believe me! You CAN wait until it comes out in paperback! It might be a little better if you don't have to spend so much to get it!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I'm a big MHC fan, but this book just is not up to her usual standards. There are too many extraneous characters (way too many red herrings), and the main character was poorly developed and flat. There were also many loose ends, most glaring of which was the "techie stalker." And the reincarnation theme muddied the plot badly rather than add to it...and the ending was just lame, lame, lame. Come on Mary, drop the supernatural stuff, it just doesn't work for you.

Summary: One of the summer's better beach reads
Review: If you are an avid reader of Mary Higgins Clark, like I am, then "On the Street Where You Live" will hold few surprises. Once again, we have a single, career oriented female who is confronted with a series of puzzling events that, once she starts to tie them together, endanger her life. As usual, Clark delivers no less than 5 credible suspects, but the killer will not shock someone who is familiar with the author's style and can see through the red herrings. That said, the book is an excellent beach read and has a final twist at the end that will linger with the reader long after the last page is finished. Like "Before I Say Good-bye," Clark's latest deals with the paranormal, this time the possibility of reincarnation and how crimes in past lives can be repeated or avenged in the present. Fortunately, Clark doesn't let the speculation of whether or not reincarnation exists impede her plot. It simply deepens the mystery surrounding the murders of three young that took place in the 1890s and their connection to three murders of three young women that took place in the present day. Mary Higgins Clark has crafted a suspenseful and tightly plotted mystery that may not rank among her best, but is definitely one of the better beach reads of the summer.

Summary: Not one of MHC's Better Books
Review: I thought this book had too many characters, so it became difficult to keep track off all of them. Many of her characters are also very generic and not very interesting. I don't think she did a very good job with exploring recarnation, I think she could have done a much better job with the topic. I definently don't recommend buying this book. Many of her early novels are a lot better.

Summary: ANOTHER GREAT ONE FROM THE MISTRESS OF MURDER
Review: I guess what I love the most about MHC's novels is that the main character is usually not a detective or crime fighter. The hero/heroine is a normal person swept into circumstances that they have no idea how to deal with. Such is the case with, On The Street Where You Live. Emily Graham gets back to her roots by leaving New York City and purchasing the old family house of her grandmother in the quaint picturesque town of Spring Lake. But, things do not stay calm long, for soon a backhoe digging for a pool in the back yard uncovers two bodies. One murdered a century ago and one murdered quite recent. What do the killings have in common? What about other disappearances of young ladies in recent years and their tie to a serial killer that stalked Spring Lake over 100 years earlier? A stalker had been pursuing Emily when she lived in NYC, but he was caught and is now behind bars. How alarming it is when she starts receiving letters with photos just like before. Emily sets out in search of a serial psychopath, but as is often the case, the hunter becomes the hunted, and soon Emily finds herself in a chilling web a suspense. I have been reading Mary Higgins Clark for 17 years, and she is in the top five of my all time favorite authors. In this story amazingly enough, the last plot twist comes in the last sentence on the last page. You've just got to love it. Thanks for reading

Summary: A DELICIOUSLY DEADLY READING
Review: Bestselling mystery writer Mary Higgins Clark and performance artist Jan Maxwell are a deliciously deadly duo in this reading of Clark's 24th suspense laced tale. If America does have literary royalty, Ms. Clark is surely a blue blood. She has garnered a legion of loyal fans over the years and they'll not be disappointed with her latest, "On The Street Where You Live," in which she intriguing blends past mysteries with present puzzlers. Defense attorney Emily Graham has had it - she's just been through a nasty, devastating divorce and been trailed by a frighteningly not-all-there stalker. Opting for a change of scene she heads for Manhattan. Once in the Empire State, she purchases her family home in a historic area of New Jersey. Her precedents had sold the property in the 1890s after the disappearance of a young family member, Madeline. Later, Madeline's disappearance was called a murder. Now, as the manse is being redone and an area dug for a swimming pool, a young girl's remains are found. Think the mystery has been solved? Not at all. In true Mary Higgins Clark fashion excitement mounts as surprise after surprise unfolds. Jan Maxwell's readings are cracker jack; Ms. Clark is in top form.
