Summary: Disappointing
Review: I am a regular reader of Mary Higgens Clark and I did not find this book enjoyable. I am not good at figuring out 'who did it' but I had this one pegged by the middle of the book. I found the character interactions unrealistic and the overall plot lame. SKIP IT!

Summary: Before I Say Goodbye
Review: This book is better than the last two or three books MHC has written. I think the plot is better and it keeps you wondering who the culprit is until the very end of the book. There are times you see it coming together only to be surprised in the end. However, some things are predicatable and I am surprised at the number of typos and other mistakes that appear throughout the text of the book. Who did the proof reading?

Summary: fractured
Review: This book reads like a bad episode of Law and Order.Every 5 minutes you arrive in a new scene, without, however, the benefit of the TV subtitled explanations. Impressed me as a necessary distraction from the otherwise lame plotline.

Summary: too many characters
Review: I really hope that Mary Higgins Clark reads these reviews!I am a librarian, and hear many comments when patrons return their books. Many readers just plan gave up on this book because they couldn't keep the multitude of characters straight. I am a regular Mary Higgins Clark reader, so I stuck with it. However, I had to make myself a chart of the characters to use as a bookmark! There are, to the best of my count, 37 characters. I wondered why she even bothered to name some of them, as they did not advance the plot. I hope Mary reads this! She needs to know that if she is to retain her readership, she needs to meet the needs of the reader, and keeping track of so many characters is work, not leisure.

Summary: Mary Higgins Clark's best in years!
Review: I thought Mary Higgins Clark was developing the John Grisham syndrome, i.e. simply churning out books for the sake of a multi-million dollar contract. Her last two books, "We'll Meet Again" and "Moonlight Becomes You" were formulaic, implausible, and boring. However, Clark seems to have returned to form with "Before I Say Goodbye." The characters are about as developed as you can expect from any of her mysteries, but this time Clark makes the plot tighter, and as a result, the book is more suspenseful. I can honestly say that I was kept guessing right up until the last few chapters. Clark's trademark of having many characters and varied plotlines is present, but it works to the book's advantage, although the romance between the main character and the doctor seemed a bit forced. For fans of Mary Higgins Clark, like me, who have been disappointed with her last books, "Before I Say Goodbye" is a return of the best of the Clark style we know and love.

Summary: Before I Say Goodbye
Review: Wow. What a yawn. If I weren't so compulsive about finishing a book, I would have set this one down within the first 50 pages. Clark usually does a good job with her thrillers. But this one sure was lackluster.

Summary: Not The Best
Review: As always I enjoy all MHC's Books....But this one was not as spellbinding as many others I have read. This one I could put down! Others I've read on into the night!

Summary: Lacking
Review: I'm a big fan of MHC. I had read some of the reviews and couldn't wait to get the book and read it myself. But I'm disappointed. I found the book hard to get into and stay into. I usually love the fact that there are so many characters so you never really know until the end who done it, but I found this book with all of its characters a little confusing. I think this book was lacking the usual suspense found in Ms. Clark's books. The whole idea of communicating with the dead is interesting but I don't think it was a good basis for a book like this. I hope in the future Ms. Clark sticks with her old style of writing and puts more suspense into the book.

Summary: Decent book, if not up to her usual
Review: Mary Higgins Clark's newest features her usual mix: an intelligent, sensitive heroine; a series of likable, realistic supporting characters, a sensitive, caring man that appears midway through the book, hinting at a possible happy ending. Ms. Clark, as always, writes very well, but the reason I rated this book as three stars was due to a very unlikely coincidence, and a glaringly obvious flaw in the plot. A good, unmemorable read, but far from her usual standard.
