Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!
Review: This was an awesome book. I loved it and could not put it down. I read it in 1-2 days of the weekend of my bat mitzvah and I read it all the time-during the brunch, etc! I loved it!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Read!!
Review: This was my first Mary Higgins Clark book and I must say it was an absolute page-turner! Clark writes with such detail and keeps you wondering from the beginning of the book all the way to the end.However, I did have to get used to the style she chose in writing this book. (each chapter was told from a different character's point of view)Nevertheless, it was an outstanding book :-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Two days max
Review: This was the first of 15 books I read by Mary Higgins Clark.
I simply could not put it down. The plot of this book hooks you in the first chapter and keeps the pages turning to the very last page.
I read it in two days (working a full time job and taking care of a family) in my spare time, it is a very fast reading book.
This auther does a wonderful job with keeping the reader intrigued threw the entire book leaving you wanting to read another.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: This was without a doubt the best Mary Higgins Clark novel that I have read. I think that she deserves recognition for writing one of the best real-life mystery stories to be published in the last decade. This book entertains as well as makes you think. Suspensefull to the very end. I stayed up all night just to finish it. A truly amazing book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a Thrilling and Suspenseful Read
Review: Unlike many of Clark's other books, in this one she gives the murderer away right from the start. The rest of the book is spent with the main character totally oblivious to the murderer, although she doesn't believe main suspect did it. This book can be compared to an Inspector Columbo mystery, where the identity of the murderer is known in the first five minutes, or in this case the first 50 pages, and the rest of the book is spend with the protagonist trying to figure out "whodunit." Like all of Clark's books, however, this book is high on suspense and thrills. It is sure to deliver a quick, enjoyable read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not your average "Who Dunnit" mystery!
Review: When I think of "mystery novel," I think of a book which reveals "who dunnit" at or toward the end of the novel. Readers are left clues given by the author to help them figure it out. This novel by a proven master (mistress?) of the mystery genre takes a different approach. The sole witness at the scene believes what she saw was a dream, but her later encounter with the murderer draws her into the investigation without her even knowing it. Soon, readers discover who the murderer is, but the race is on for the other characters to make the same discovery, using clues left by the murderer. Do the "good guys" find all the clues in time? You'll have to read it to find out!

Not only did I enjoy this mystery novel as a departure from my regular roster of science fiction and fantasy novels, but I also liked the novel as the characters were believable, loveable, and or course, in the case of the "bad guys," easy to hate.

This book is a fast enough and enjoyable enough read for any adult reader, but is also another solid performance by Clark to satisfy her fans and fans of the mystery/suspense drama. Five stars! ** Word to the wary: some themes (abortion, murder, attempted murder) in this book are inappropriate for younger readers, but aren't gory or distastefully presented. **
