Summary: Couldn't Put this Book Down
Review: I got so engrossed in this story that I had to finish it in one sitting. The author has a way of telling a story that keeps your interest at peak level. The story has some very interesting characters, who lead interesting lifes. Anyone of them was suspected of being the murderer. I had my idea as to who it was but got surprised at the ending. Did not suspect that character of anything much less murder. I haven't read a book this entertaining in a long time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I enjoyed this book
Review: I have read many books by Mary Higgins Clark, eventhough this one wasn't her best work I really enjoyed this book and the plot, eventhough I thought the whole plot was a little wierder than her others books. All in all I would recommend this one to any Mary Higgins Clark fan. To anyone who hasn't read Mary Higgins Clark I would recommend this to them also. I think Mary Higgins Clark is one of the best Mystery/thriller arthors there is. And I really enjoyed reading this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst book ever
Review: I have read all of her books, but I must say if another one is like this one, I won't be reading it. I normally purchase the book for my mother and did not on this one. It is totally unrealistic, she jumps all around and it is hard to keep track of all the characters. Hope the next one is better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GRIPPING NOVEL
Review: ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE is certainly a page turner. The description of the little town and the characters make for interesting reading. It is not such a deep mystery that the reader doesn't understand what is happening yet taken by surprise at the turn of events from page to page. By the end, it is like any mystery should be after there are many things that make a reader think one thing when, actually, it is the opposite, a surprise.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not my favorite
Review: I have read every book written by Mary Higgins Clark.... This is the first one that I put down and picked up months later. I found it slow at times and the ending not up to Clark's caliper.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This One Does It For Me
Review: Right after it was first published, I read MHC's "The Cradle Will Fall". Then I read "Where are the Children". I enjoyed them so much, I kept reading her song title stories. They have become less and less interesting, engrossing and competently written. This one is the worst. It is trite, full of snobbish allusions, and poorly plotted. She had so many people being killed, it was difficult to keep track of them all. It's true that I didn't know who had killed everyone until the end, but by then I simply didn't care. I will never read another one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extremely Suspenseful Until the Shocking End!!!
Review: I must say, I was in total suspense until the gripping and very shocking end! Wow, what an ending! A classic 'whodunnit', excellent till the end! Great work Ms Clark, thank-you!

~A young defense attorney named Emily Graham accepts an offer to work for a major Manhattan law firm, with so much terror haunting her past living in Albany from a stalker a year before, she decides to take the offer and move to the quiet town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Happily she even purchases the first house that catches her eye, an old Victorian which happens to be the same house her ansestors owned in the 1800's and then sold in 1892 after the disappearance of a young woman named Madeline Shapley, one of Emily's ansestors.
Now as she settles in to her new home happily, she decides to have the unfinished pool the prevous owners had started finished when the diggers make a gruesome discovery...the bones of a young woman are found along with a much more recent body of young woman who had been missing for four years named Martha Lawrence. In her had she clutches the finger bone of the oter woman buried beside her with a ring still on it-a Shapley heirloom.
Being the investigator she is, Emily begins to undig old disappearences in the town some 110 years ago anf finds a gruesome link between the murders. Has the killer come back from the dead over a century later to wreak havok again? Or is the killer a mere copycat who has somehow found out where the bodies were buried over 100 years ago? Somehow Emily has angered the killer and now he has selected her as his next victim...

Unbelievable suspense to surely keep you guessing and wondering on the edge of your seat unil the climatic end! A sure keeper from the Queen of Suspense! Definately a weird and somewhat creepy tale with twists and turns to leave you breathless...

Summary: Reincarnated killer on the loose?
Review: America's "Queen of Suspense" has done it again. "On the Street Where You Live" is excellent. Emily Graham is a criminal defense attorney who moves to the seaside town of Spring Lake, New Jersey, a town filled with beautiful historic Victorian homes. Emily is compelled, without much consideration, to purchase an older Victorian home that belonged to her ancestors. The house hasn't been in her family since 1892 when it was sold after her ancestor Madeline Shapley's mysterious disappearance. As the backyard is being excavated for a swimming pool, the skeletal remains of a young woman are unearthed; they are the remains of Martha Lawrence, a young woman who disappeared in Spring Lake over four years earlier. Strangely, in the young woman's hand is the finger bone of a skeleton that is over one hundred years old, with the ring still on it. The ring is identified as a Shapley family heirloom. Emily's curiosity and determination to solve the murders that existed one hundred years apart is a threat to her well-being. She soon finds that she is being stalked and taunted with photographs of herself, and the town beings to wonder if they are being tortured by the sick mind of a reincarnated killer. The suspense builds and builds eventually leading to an unexpected ending. Clark has crafted yet another masterpiece.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Reliable Read
Review: There comes a time when I like to read a book that I KNOW will be worth my time and that is why I read On The Street Where You Live. I've read her work before and consider her a reliable read (author). Clark's words flow easily and the story never stalls. I hung in until the end to find out 'who done it'.

Three stars to me is a good read. (I don't give 5 stars away easily) If you like Clark, you will like this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Queen Of Suspense is better than ever!
Review: After having this book for months, I decided to finally sit down and read it! Oh my goodness! I wish I had read it sooner.

This book was perhaps Mary Higgins Clark's MOST suspenseful book to date. I couldn't put the book down, and ended up reading the entire book in one sitting!

Mary is the master of crafting not ONE, not TWO, but THREE separate suspense stories with the plot of ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE. Not only do you get wrapped up in the main plot, but there are numerous sub-plots that one finds yourself drawn to.

I have never read a book so fast in my life! My only disappointment with this book is that I have finished reading it! I might have to go back and re-read it, because I don't want this particular mystery to be over!
