Remember Me

Rating:
Summary: Her best so far!
Review: This is Mary Higgins Clark's best book to date (I'm writing this after reading We'll Meet Again.) Remember Me has a wonderfully beautiful and creepy setting, and a more likable and realistic heroine than many of her books. Menley and Adam are a pleasure to read about and I found myself rooting for their fight to save their relationship, and later Menley's sanity and life. Their babysitter Amy, a new high school graduate, is a breath of fresh air, and another minor character, blue collar worker Fred is also a nice change of pace from Ms. Clark's typical rich beautiful people. Remember House also is a character itself, and a pretty freaky one at that. I highly recommend Remember Me, and I consider it her best in plotting, character development, and setting, and place it second only to A Cry in the Night in terms of being scary enough to make sleep difficult the night you finish it.

Summary: Three times the mystery, three times the fun
Review: Mary Higgins Clark knows how to write a book that you just can't put down. Her style is to cut rapidly from one character to the next, which can make you a little crazy, but hey--that's what keeps you in suspense, right? Three mysteries in one here--1. Did Scott Covey kill his wealthy wife or didn't he? 2. Is Menley Nichols going crazy over the death of her little boy or is someone trying to make her cuckoo? 3. What really happened between the captain and his wife, who lived in the beautiful old house that Menley and Adam are trying to make a fresh start in? Everything's important here--including the trip Menley's mom is on in Europe. The last page made me smile. Hope you like it, too. .

Summary: Haunting, sad tale of a mother's struggle after child dies
Review: In the great tradition of Mary Higgins Clark, nothing is as it seems on the outset. Menley Nichols is thought to be mentally ill because she can't stop focusing on her son's death when she didn't make it across train tracks. Haunted by this accident she blames on herself, Menley envision her new baby daughter's death in many ways. Her lawyer husband takes her to Cape Cod to relax, and the problems erupt further. Clark has you rooting for Menley the entire way, and even leads readers into the bowels of an old home the Nichols' rent and the secrets it holds. To survive, she must uncover an old, covered-up murder. A great novel! One of her best!

Summary: Her Best!
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is a terrific author and Remember Me is her best book and if you like MHC and haven't read this book yet I think you will probably like it and find it to be a page turner that you can't put down until you've read the last page and it may be one of your keepers that you will want to read again. A TV station called Pax made a TV movie out of this book starring Kelly McGillis as Menley and though the movie is okay if you try to enjoy it in it's ownright is actually a little disappointing if you comapre it to the book or the audio book recordings. My main complaints about the movie is that they left out several important facts and Kelly McGillis who is a good actress and plays Menley and the guy who played Menley's husband Adam really didn't have all that much chemistry together and I actually thought she had more chemistry with the guy from the Pretender who played Scott Covey, well anyway the movie is worth watching at least once so check it out.

Summary: Suspense at its Best
Review: Mary Higgins Clark once again presents us with a riviting tale that leaves goose flesh with each page. Clark is a master at the eerie spine-tingling drama. Her characters are as real and familiar as your next door neighbor. Each book she pens seems to surpass the last. I plan to read every book she writes as each will be a best seller.

Summary: Great book!
Review: Remember Me is a great book by MHC. It is one of her best (but then, I"m a huge MHC fan, so they're all great.) It has a lot of suspense in it, although the murder aspect wasn't played out as much as it could have been. The only complaint I have is the names! Menley, to name one, doesn't really do justice to the character. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think of a strong, heroic, independent young woman when I hear the name Menley. But other than that, this is a great book! Once you have finished this one, some other good MHC books are All Around the Town; Loves Music, Loves to Dance; While My Pretty One Sleeps; Daddy's Little Girl; Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and I'll Be Seeing You.

Summary: Who are we talking about??????
Review: Remember Me by Mary Higgins Clark was a really confusing book. It had a very appealing beginning, but by the end it could make any reader sick of it. The chapters were extremely short, never more than seven pages. Every other chapter, the story line changed different people in a totally different setting without notice.
Menely and Adam have a great relationship. They had a baby, and went on vacations regularly. A freak accident occurred, and killed Menely and Adam's baby. Things were hard for a while, and Menely had flashbacks very regularly. Eventually, they came to except the fact that their baby was dead, and they had another baby, Hannah. Adam had to go away on business a lot, while Menely and the baby stayed at the Remember House. Adam worried about Menely alone with Hannah for a long time, so tried to stay with them as long much as possible. While Adam is away, tragic things happen in the house, and Menely is changed forever.

Summary: New England Chowder
Review: Set on Cape Cod and focusing on the victim and her psychological travails, the puzzles are who-done-it, how and why? The good guy is a lawyer(!). Another player, requiring some suspension of disbelief, is a Seventeenth-Century mansion with acoustic and other creepy peculiarities. The weather (fair and foul) and terrain of the Cape are featured. To the extent that there are status differences among the characters, they are not reflected in the dialogue, which all sounds like the country club or the yacht club. Tantalizingly, the climax is at least hinted at in a prologue and is dated at the end of the story. Confusingly, some chapters are dated and some are not. Despite all, I was eager to reach the surprising ending.
