Summary: You Belong to Me
Review: I'm not the type that usually reads mystery books. In the past I favored fiction and science fiction books. After reading this mystery thriller I have become interested in mystery reading. This book is about a killer who targets lonely women on cruise ships. Dr. Susan Chandler decides to use her daily radio talk show to find out more clues about these strange disappearances of women. Most of these women targeted are lonely and insecure. Dr. Susan Chandler has no idea that she is exposing herself and others around her to the killer who will seek out anyone who is trying to obtain clues of there whereabouts. Dr. Susan Chandler receives a call from a listener who was on the same cruise ship when Regina Clausen was aboard and suddenly disappeared. On her way to meet Dr. Chandler personally she comes to a terrible end that was ruled an accident.
Dr. Susan Chandler finds that she doesn't have much time left. The killer is getting closer.
I recommend this book to people who like mysteries. If you're not a mystery reader like me you should give it a try. This story will grasp you into it and gets you glued to the book.

Summary: You Belong to Me
Review: Mary Higgens Clark is one of my favorite authors. She writes suspensful and page turning novels. "You Belong to Me" is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. Her style of writing is original and intense with excitement. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books that are so riveting, it's difficult to put down. The story's main character is Susan Chandler, a psychologist with her own radio show. She uses the radio show to look into a case of a missing woman, Regina Clausen. Regina disappeared on a cruise ship and was never seen again, but in her possessions was found a ring with "You belong to me" engraved on it. A woman, who calls herself Karen, calls into the show and states that she has a similar ring and a picture of the man who gave it to her. The killer hears her and is enraged that his identity might be revealed. He follows Karen, whose real name is Carolyn Wells, to the post office and pushes her in front of a speeding van. The killer is so obsessed with protecting his privacy, he kills three more people who might have had information leading to his identity. Meanwhile, Susan is dating a wealty man named Alex Wright, and another psychologist, Don Richards. Susan likes both men, but is really interested in Alex Wright. She continues to uncover more clues about the killer and is starting to understand the connection between the recent deaths and the killer's habits. She is at her desk one night going through pictures she accured when the killer suprises her and attempts to kill her. To find out who the cold-hearted killer is, read "You Belong to Me". There is nothing I would change about Mary Higgens Clark's book. I applaud her ways in keeping the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer. The unexpected ending will bewilder you. I look forward to reading her next book and encourage everyone to read her splendid book, "You Belong to Me".

Summary: Fast paced and rivoting
Review: Mary Higgins Clark writes a well-crafted novel that succeeds in luring the reader in and keeping them turning those pages. In "You Belong to Me" her highly lucrative formula of alternating chapters focusing on the varying third person perspectives works extremely well to keep the reader from guessing the identity of the murderer until Clark sees fit to reveal it at the very end of her story.

The plot revolves around likeable call-in radio psychologist Susan Chandler who inadvertantly triggers a spree of seemingly unlinked killings when she decides to center a few of her broadcasts on the subject of disappearing women, in particular Regina Clausen, a leading financial analyst who disappeared 4 years earlier without a trace while on a cruise in the Far East. As readers, we get a glimpse into the mind of the murderer as he himself listens to the show and strategizes to keep his overall plan a secret by eliminating people who simply get in his way. We are privy to police investigations, and the ruminations of private eyes and eye witnesses. We walk for a while in the shoes of intended victims and share their horror as the murderer moves along his amoral course without regrets. We uncover facts about Dr Susan, immediately understanding that she is undergoing some personal problems of her own regarding her parent's divorce and her father's subsequent marriage to someone she dislikes; her mother's ensueing depression and her sister's angry betrayals. Most entertaining is guessing which of the three men linked to Dr. Susan personally is our deranged serial killer and what motivation has provoked such a terrible vengenance.

Clark doesn't disappoint, she keeps you interested until the last page. As in her other novels, none of the characters are really developed---there are so many of them---it would be difficult to analyze each of them thoroughly and stay within the 300+ page parameter of the popular novel. Nevertheless, the momentum of the story allows you to overlook the lack of indepth characterization. Indeed the story itself is the strongest character as is the backdrop of New York and its world of traffic, crowds and taxi rides.

Recommended to all lovers of suspense who like a contained story where all loose ends are tied at the climax and denouement in a lovely logical bow.

Summary: MHC is amazing--one of her best!!!
Review: MHC is an amazing writer--Her ability to create such suspense in each book never ceases to astonish me. I've read every one of her books, and this was one of the best. The ending was a tad predictable, but the plot and premise of this story were excellent. Her best work, I feel, was All Around the Town, but this definitely is right up there.

Summary: You Belong To Me Review
Review: The book "you Belong To Me" by Mary Higgins Clark, is a suspensful and hair rising novel about a serial killer whose victims are vulnreable women. Psychologist Dr. Susan Chandler uses her call in radio station show, to discuss the issue of women dissapearing and then found dead; proved to be victims of seductive killers. The book is highly recommended for its intense power of keeping you reading. The plot might be similar to other novels but this one is completley unique. "Pamea had closed her hand over the ring, and in one instant a particular change came over her. Her whole body became tense, and the expression on her face was suddenly grave. "Carolyn this ring could have been the cause of your death." she said. "It might still b, whoever gave it to you meant to hurt you". Then as though it were burning in her hand, she dropped the ring in the cofee table. This is only one of the many rising moments in the novel. This book is truly an enternaing novel that will keep you reading and will seriously make you think about real events regarding this issue in real life.

Summary: Entertaining but could have been better
Review: This book is vintage Mary Higgins Clark in that it has a fast-moving plotline that makes for effortless reading. What I have trouble with, however, is that the ending seems a bit rushed and that the so-called heroine never had an inklinhg of who the killer was until he came knocking on her door. Also, in trying to set up everyone as a suspect, most of the characters were underdeveloped and the whole book in general less involved than her earlier works. It seems to me that lately, the queen of suspense seems to have found a formula that worked and decided to stick with it. As a result, her previous three novels have been so similar in style and presentation that they were simply, well, forgettable. The fact that I was able to guess accurately who the killer is the moment he was introduced in all three books was another reason why I have stopped buying her books. For those of you who's looking for good/entertaining read, I strongly suggest that you try some of her earlier works such as "A Cry in the Night," "A Cradle Will Fall," and "I'll Be Seeing You." You'll definitely get more out of your money that way.
