Summary: An awesome thriller!
Review: I am a huge fan of Mary Higgins Clark, and never thought I would find an author that could be ranked up there with her, that was until I read Nobody Knows, I am now hooked. In fact, I just ordered 3 other books by Mary Jane Clark.

Summary: I just couldn't get started on this one
Review: I like this author- but she jumps around with her charaters too much and it is easliy confusing.

Summary: A great book, especially for people who know Siesta Key
Review: I never read fiction but I made an exception for this book because the story takes place on Siesta Key, a place very dear to me. I could hardly put the book down and I really liked the author's use of real places on Siesta Key and Sarasota area - it made it that much more interesting because I can visualize the settings. I hope Mary Jane Clark will write another novel that uses Siesta Key as the location.

Summary: Completely absorbing!
Review: I read this book in 2 nights. COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I was so moved by Vincent and his little brother. I ached for their mom. I felt for Cassie (and her distant daughter). But mostly my heart was racing and I could never have guessed who was behind the murders. (Until the end, of course, at which point it made perfect sense).This is Mary Jane Clark's best book. I loved LET ME WHISPER IN YOUR EAR too. Now I get to dig into the paperback of CLOSE TO YOU.

Summary: Clark's best!
Review: Mary Jane Clark's best suspense so far. I've never cared more about the people in a thriller. My heart was racing and aching for the boys. Loved, loved, loved this book.

Summary: A successful TV reporter's mistake costs her dearly.
Review: Mary Jane Clark's latest thriller, "Nobody Knows," features Cassie Sheridan, a high profile television reporter who makes a serious error in judgment. She reveals the name of a rape victim on the air and Cassie is horrified when her report causes irrevocable damage to the victim. As a result, the victim's family is suing Cassie and her news station. While the lawsuit is pending, Cassie is exiled to Florida as a reporter for a small-time television station, and her career is headed on a downhill spiral. To make matters worse, Cassie's dedication to her job has put her marriage in jeopardy. Her relationship with her husband, Jim, and her daughter, Hannah, has suffered because of the long hours that Cassie has devoted to rising up the ranks in television news. After moving to Miami, Cassie faces a strong hurricane that is about to hit the coast and she is on the scene when a murderer strikes. The murderer is a person who has killed before, and Cassie may well become one of his next targets. Mary Jane Clark, former daughter-in-law of Mary Higgins Clark, has learned well from her famous relative. "Nobody Knows" has many of the elements that make Mary Higgins Clark's books so successful. The protagonist of "Nobody Knows" is a sympathetic and attractive woman who is beleaguered by the twists and turns of life, and she must struggle to survive. Mary Jane Clark throws so many suspects into the mix that guessing the identity of the murderer early in the novel is an exercise in futility. What the author does best is describe the rough and tumble world of television news reporting, a topic that she knows well, since she is a producer and writer for CBS news in New York. The author also provides some colorful background about Sarasota, Florida, home of the Ringling Brothers Museum, where part of the novel is set. The book is fast-paced. It has a great deal of dialogue plus a large cast of characters. The most notable character is a sharp eleven-year-old named Vincent, who has a key role in the plot. However, the murderer is a stock psychopath whom we have seen so often in books of this type, and the ending is formulaic and maudlin. For fans of lightweight mysteries, "Nobody Knows" is a serviceable escapist novel.

Summary: Nobody Knows...How She Get's this stuff published
Review: My husband seems to like women authors. I picked this up from his selection and gagged and skimmed myself through it. Since when is a chapter, one or two sentences? Ridiculous. Very poor. I would guess that if she knows enough people (Dan Rather, etc.) her books can be published, but in my opinion it is huge waste of trees. Silly, juvenile, transparent characters. All been done before and done much better. Amazing how so many of the reviewers really like this stuff. Normally, I would just ignore such a pitiful effort, but I really have to protest at the way the shelves are full of such weak books these days. The one star I awarded was for the cover.
