Summary: Going downhill fast.
Review: MHC is becoming boring, repetitive, and lacks, well, just about everything in this book. I'm really disappointed. No character development as usual and I wasn't surprised or kept on the edge of my seat with the plot. I'm hoping MHC will get back to her old writing soon. This was written by an amateur definitely.

Summary: very disappointing
Review: This book was predictable, disappointing and boring. It is apparent that MHC does not bother to do ANY worthwhile research before she writes. If you want to read a book by a "real" author try Michael Crichton...

Summary: Good tape for the car
Review: I tried out the audiotape version, and it was good. This was my first book from the Queen of Suspense. I found it pleasant and entertaining, but not terribly suspenseful - very few plot twists. Our hero, realtor Lacey Farrell, must stay one step ahead of a gangster as she attempts to decipher a diary from a dead woman. I will definitely try more of MHC on audiotape.

Summary: Pretend You Don¿t See Her
Review: You're the only witness in a murder, you've seen the killers face, you're forced to change your identity and move to another place. The police are looking for the killer, the killer is looking for you, and it's only a matter of time before we find out who finds who. This is exactly what happens to Lacy Farrell, a young realtor who finds herself wound up in a murder investigation. Trying to fulfill a dying woman's last request and follow the law, Lacey ends up making herself a suspect in the case and gets in trouble for with holding important evidence. Lacey then realizes the killer who wants her dead is stalking her, and she is placed in a witness protection program with the police. Then, at some point in time, information leaks out as to where Lacey is being kept and now THE KILLER KNOWS WHERE SHE LIVES. Lacey is then left on an action packed journey filled with suspense until the very end, trying to solve this mystery and figure out exactly who is behind these murders and why? I gave this book a rating of 4 because it has lots of suspense, and you never knew when the killer was going to strike next, or who was the "bad guy" passing information and putting Lacey in danger. There was also lots of action as Lacey is out running for her life, and there was constantly unsuspected things happening. (The ending is a good example of this!) The book had an excellent plot with interesting characters I could relate to. I felt like I actually was Lacey Farrell throughout this story, which made it very interesting and I could hardly put the book down. The plot was good because it had a really good ending/climax, and I like how the action in the story slowly built up as I continued to read and became really exciting. The only reason I didn't give this book a 5, was because I have read a few other MHC books and even though I really enjoyed this book it isn't one of her very best or my favorite.

Summary: Mysterious and enjoyable.(K.F-per#7)
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The author really knows how to keep you in suspense and interested throughout the whole story. Lacey Farrell is a very interesting and inspiring character. Even though she had t pretend to be someone else she never forgot who she really was. Considering that, I believe she is a great inspiration to everybody. This story drew me in until I couln't put it down. Reading this book made me want to read more books by the same author. I love to read and this novel increased that love. Interesting yet loving, mysterious yetv involving. This book honestly made me very happy that I know who I am, and inspired me to never forget that.

Summary: Another great whodunnit from Mary Higgins Clark
Review: PRETEND YOU DON'T SEE HER is about Lacey Farrell, a real estate agent, who finds her self a witness to a murder of a client and because of threats put on her life, she is put into the Witness Protection Program. Lacey's entire identity is taken away from her and she becomes Alice Carroll (a play on "Alice in Wonderland", written by Lewis Carroll) and is moved to Minnesota. Lacey's nature is not one to take things like this lightly, and desperate to get back to her own life, she tries to solve the mystery of why her client Isabelle Waring was murdered. Doing so, however, brings her life back in danger, as the murderer tracks her down. The entire book is filled with suspense as the reader tries to find the answers to Isabelle's murder and what Isabelle knew about her daughter Heather Landi's death in a fiery car accident. The ending came as a surprise to me and was well worth the wait! This is yet another great mystery by Mary Higgins Clark.

Summary: Movie proposal for "Pretend You Don't See Her"
Review: Date: 12/3/00 To: Studio Producer From: Anoush Mchitaryan Subject: Movie proposal for the book Pretend You Don't See Her by Marry Higgins Clark Pretend You Don't See Her is a very mysterious novel, it has many things that people love to see in a film. This book has killings, love, mystery all bunched up together and that's what will make this novel a film that everyone would want to see. People watch movies because they want to get away from their everyday boring lives. People would get so much into this movie that they would think they are the characters in the movie that they are the ones being chased, loved or even shot at. One of the best parts in this book is when the main character, Lacey Farrell, is placed in the witness protection program and has to stay there until the killer is caught, but that might take years. Lacey has to change her name and forget about her family, she couldn't even tell her own mother where she was. She falls in love with a man while in the program and is afraid to get close to him because he might get hurt. Later she shows a lot of courage by going back to New York to find the killer while she is supposed to be in the witness protection program. She was tired of waiting for the police to catch him so when she found out that the killer knew where she was she went back to New York hoping to find some clues. This is a very wonderful book, but a movie would be much better, since half of the population doesn't read or doesn't have time to read. A book takes a week to finish, but a movie is only about two hours long, so everyone could watch it. What will make this book even a better film is if the characters were played by famous actors. For the role of Lacey Farrell, the main character, Sandra Bullock would be great, because she plays good in action films and after her role in Speed she would do great in this film. For the role of the killer Michael Clarke Duncan would be perfect, because in the book the killer is described as a forty-two years old, smart and afraid of nothing. Michael Clarke Duncan would be best, because he is very big and would play a good killer. Matthew Perry could be Tom Lynch, the person who falls in love with Lacey. Matthew Perry is a very romantic actor. In It Takes Two To Tango he is amazing, the way he gets upset, or falls in love, that is what this character is all about and Matthew Perry would be the best choice. If this book was made into a film and the main characters were Sandra Bullock, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Matthew Perry this movie would be the one that everyone would want to watch.

Summary: Another story similar to Agatha Christie's.
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is the kind of author that, without arguments that could explain, are a phenomenon and with every new book, sell millions and millions of copies. Mary is obviously copycating the genre Agatha Christie became imortal: the detective books. The difference is addressed in the fact that, since it couldn't be different, Mary's books are written in a modern age, when things can't be explained just by showing evidences... In this just good book, Mary Higgins Clark tell us a story where a woman witnessess a murder... and from day to night becomes the killer's next prey. Then, she has to be 24 hours a day under police eye, in order not to be killed. Mary Higgins Clark's books follow a formula, and it could be different: the reader pretend the plot is original, pretend the story haven't being told yet, pretend it's a very wonderful thing and everyone goes home happy. As in all her books from the past, we see losts o confusing characters, a plot that is not well specified since the beginning, and so many characters that sometimes makes it confusing even to the reader, with scenes of suspense that everyone who likes the genre could write. Of course, people wouln't agree with that much. A reader saying bad things about the master Mary Higgins Clark! What a 'master' we've found... Anyway, the book in overall is not that bad. It has good characters and the plot satisfies the reader at the end. As for a modern disciple of Agatha Christie, Mary H. Clark is not doing that bad. Marco Aurelio.

Summary: Not her best
Review: I am a fan of MHC and started this book with my usual anticipation of a good suspense read. I was a little disappointed with this one though. I don't think the suspense was nearly as taut as some of her earlier efforts and the ending was fairly ordinary. My main problem with the book though was the idea that a known killer would be given a deal so that he wouldn't have to go to jail. I know this isn't the real world but come on!
