Summary: Caught up in a trance
Review: It has only been seven months since I have begun reading Mary Higgins Clark. I am hooked on her. This book, 'All Around The Town' has done it to me again. I really felt that I was sitting in the doctor's office with Laurie and Sarah. You can feel the love and devotion between the sister's. The characters in this book put me through many emotions. As a parent I felt terrified at how easy Bic and Opal snatched a child and how bittersweet the return was. As a sister I felt the desire to nurture and protect a sibling thru the losses they experienced. As a citizen I felt the frame job and was the climax ever a twist! The ending was as it should be and I strongly suggest the reading of this book. Hats off to Mary Higgins Clark.

Summary: This is an excellent story filled with suspense.
Review: Set in New Jesey in the 1990's, Mary Higgins Clark's novel, All Around the Town, is the story of a woman with multiple personalities due to certain tragic events. When the main character, Laurie Kenyon, was a young girl, she was abducted by stangers. Those two years of Laurie's life were so horrible that she forced herself to forget them when she returned home. Throughout the novel, different events happened to Laurie that affected her greatly. She develops a new personality for every significant happening. This book is an excellent thriller that is full of suspense and twists. It's descriptive vocabulary makes the reader feel as if they are part of the story.

Summary: I really enjoyed not being able to put this book down.
Review: This was the first book that I read by Mary Higgins Clark and I have continued to read almost all of her novels. All Around the Town grabbed my interest at first because it was about multiple personality disorder, which you don't see very many books about. But it also held my attention entirely throughout...wondering what would happen next. I found it to be intense and a good read. I would definitely recommend it.
