Summary: Only if you like to be scared
Review: Maybe I'm a sissy. A "wimp" Kate would have called it (read the book for the meaning of that statement).
Mary Higgins Clark is a wonderful writer and I am in no way meaning to bash her. But this book was so scary to me that I will never read another of hers again. I read it in one sitting of 8 hours. Since you don't know me, your "scary scale" may or may not match mine, and therefore my advice is unreliable.
If you liked the movie Don't Say A Word, you should read this book, though I don't think they are based one on another.

Review: This book was extremely enjoyable as well as suspenseful and had me at the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it. The multiple personalities added an interesting twist and the characters were extremely realistic as well as likeable. I would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed Higgins's past novels or anyone who enjoys a good mystery or suspense novel.

Summary: Her best work
Review: All Around The Town is the best Mary Higgins Clark book I have read and definately one of the best books I have ever read. It has been so long since I read the book but still remember it as my favorite. Clark portrays the emotions of the kidnapped child so you begin to feel for her. The suspense is great up until the very end. The book is not predictable and keeps you guessing. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I thought All Around the Town was a great book. Laurie is kidnapped from her home by Bic and Opal at four and after two years she is finally returned home but she is a different person. Actually, she is five different people because she developed multiple personality disorders to protect her. In college she falls in love with a professor and after a confrontation with him about letters she's been sending him, she threatens him. Later he is found dead in his home and all evidence points to Laurie as the killer. Her sister has the job of proving her innocence which is hard because everyone including Laruie believes she did it. If you want to find out who the killer is, I recommend reading All Around the Town. If you are a Mary Higgins Clark fan, I definately wouldn't miss this one.

Summary: Read this if you like Suspense!
Review: Another great book. Laurie Kenyon is snatched from her home at the age of four and dropped off at a local school two years later. To deal with the trauma of this event, Laurie makes up alter personalities. As she seems to get control of her personalities, she blames herself for the death of her parents. We follow Laurie twist in and out of her multiple personalities as they begin to take over her mind and body. As she goes through years of counseling the memories that seem to have been forgotten rise to the surface. And then she is accused of killing her college professor, and none of her personalities can remember killing him. I really enjoyed reading this book. A quick suspensful read.

Review: Here is a little information for you about All around the town. It begins with four-year-old Laurie Kenyon being abducted from her home in Ridgewood, New Jersey. She is then kept for two years, a victim of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. When she was finally released, she had no memory of the past two years. Now years later, at age twenty-one, she is accused of murdering her college English professor, Allan Grant. She has no memory of the crime, but her fingerprints, on the door, the window, the knife used to stab him to death, say she's the killer. Scared, shocked, and confused, Laurie is arraigned on a murder charge. However, Laurie has no idea that because of the two years of abuse had triggered a multiple personality disorder in her. She is unaware of any of the personailties, especially the one named Leona, who had apparently been stalking, and sending crazed love letters to Allan Grant. Her older sister, Sarah Kenyon, takes up Laurie's defense, and brings in psychiatrist Justin Donnelly, who specializes in Multiple Personality Disorder. He is determined to unlock the forgotten years of Laurie's past. But her abductor, now a famous evangelist, is determined not to let his secret be revealed.
