Summary: Inaccuracies and hyperbole plague attempts at suspense
Review: Before I'd read this book, I had understood that Ms. Higgins Clark was the "queen of suspense". Now I'd like to know who, precisely, crowned her. Leaving aside the sheer improbability of the plot, the stilted dialogue and dead giveaway clues to the "mystery" of who killed the professor, this book portrays multiple personalities with a cavalier disregard for the reality of a very painful and difficult condition. To say that I was disappointed would be a gross understatement: I was enraged with Ms. Higgins Clark's inability to show the inner life of a multiple with anything approaching accuracy. Now, I'm all for willing suspension of disbelief, but the characters in this book evoked so little sympathy from me that frankly, it was all I could do to finish reading it. However, I struggled valiantly through to the end, if only to be able to say I had actually read one of Ms. Higgins Clark's works. Okay, I've done my duty. Now, can I read something a little less trite?

Rating:
Summary: THE BEST!!!
Review: Mary Higgins has done it again! I loved the way she had very different personalities for each of multiple personalities of Laurie. The way each one of them was so different was so good. The plot was twisted as well, which was cool. This is THE book to read.

Summary: One of her best!
Review: While almost every one of MHC's books are a page-turner that I can't put down...this one was one I had to read again and again because it was so fascinating. Definitely one of her best.

Summary: The best book I've ever read
Review: Wow! I read this book for an English assignment. I started it first period during the school day (8:00 am), and didn't put it down until I got home (3:30 pm). I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. I think I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of the character development, not only of the main characters, but also of smaller parts; the wife of Allan Grant, the main character's professor, for example.

Summary: another outstanding book by an exciting writter
Review: I have read just about every book Mrs Higgins has written. She is by far one of today's most exciting writers; not one of her books is dull or boaring; she holds you on your seat or keeps you up till all hours of the morning unable to put the book down until you find out who the villian is. subject matter very well reshearched in all of her books;as i say she is trully an amazing and gifted writter whom i enjoy and look forward to reading her books.

Summary: The best one yet!
Review: Mary Higgins Clark wrote a book that was great! Although sick and twisted, MHC finally lets the reader in on the mind of a man who is obsessed. The multiple personality angle, while usually hokey, was great. I reccomend it.
