Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best
Review: This was the first Mary Higgins Clark book I read, and it made me a true addict. This book is a suspenseful, psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. If you are looking for a page-turner that you will want to read again and again, this is a great buy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Intriguing Thriller...
Review: The first half of this book when Erich and Jenny marry and relocate to his farm is terrific. Five star reading. From there it gets a bit draggy and I felt like giving her a dope slap and saying "Honey, get a SPINE will ya?" As she mopes, moans and worries about her hubbies mood swings and strange behavior. Of course, she never bothers to bring it up and talk to him about it. That was annoying.

BUT I didn't guess who and why at the end, always the sign of a good thriller. Well worth a read, if you like thrillers.

Rating: 4 stars

Or is there someone else living at the house that could kill her and her girls?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Suspense Thriller
Review: I loved this book. The ending was totally unpredictable and Iloved it when I suddenly understood why everything had happened theway it did earlier. I even read a second time in order to realize as they came along the subtle hints to the ending, enough to make the story eerie but not enough to make you actually guess what was going to happen. The suspense just kept on building and you could sense the hopelessness of the situation. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Psychological Thriller
Review: I love Mary Higgins Clark's books. Unfortunately, I have read so many of her mysteries that lately I can accurately guess the ending, which is annoying. However, with this book, I never really even understood what was going on until the last few pages. When comprehension finally dawned, I was chilled to the bone at how the "bad guy" thought. It was quite spooky and I loved it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Scary scary scary
Review: This book was great, although somewhat disturbing. It kept me hooked until the end. I recommend not reading it while you're in the house alone. Trust me on that one. Thoroughly entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book rules!
Review: I am a 12 year old and my name is Jocelyn. I read this book for a 7th grade book report and I loved it. I usually don't like mystery or suspense books but now I really like them. I just went to the library and I checked out Iced, by her daughter and Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mrs. Higgins Clark. I really enjoyed this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mary Higgins Clark is a Master Writer
Review: I read this Book for recomendation from a friend of mine that live i Seatlle-WA. She read it and she was enchanted like Mary Higgins describes the scene. I noticed the way Mary Higgins get our attention during all the time. It's mien that we are in the story. I intend to read the others Higgins's books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book
Review: An excellent prologue to create the mistery plunges the reader into a gripping tale mainly worked around two very well conceived characters, Jenny and his bigshot powerful obsessive husband Erich. This story unfolds around a marriage turned into an ordeal for the wife who has to put up with his husband cruelty arising out of his obsessions. The main feature is the sick relationship between these two characters, I would not place this book in a mistery novel as one can suppose why the weird things are happening ( it is not the typical whodunit ). The main mistery goes around what is the prologue suggesting and that fully deserves the reading.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sometimes Good, Sometimes Bothersome
Review: Ms. Clark always likes to tease. And the opening teaser in this one really entices. She introduces her central character, Jenny, to us in New York. She is a single-mother of two trying to keep the good struggle, until she is swept away by a wealthy artist to his Minnesota home in the cold, rural countryside. Here we meet an assorted cast of characters that live near or help run the artist's farm. Soon strange and distrurbing elements are noticed by young Jenny. The book is a fun read for a late-night escape. But Clark's hold-your-hand approach of telling what Jenny thinks and interprets in the story is bothersome. She sometimes doesn't let the reader read between the lines and tells you outright. Also the character of Jenny seems a bit flawed. Most of the story she seems helpless as a lamb, yet some how had the know-how to raise two children before by herself and walk and talk in the art world. Jenny becomes a little tiresome. The book is also more of a read in freaky behavior, rather than a mystery. Still, it's an entertaining read and the queer things that occur will keep you turning the pages. One memorable scene involves a prank call in the middle of the night from a shrill-voiced, horrific unknown. The climax is visually stunning and creative. One you'll remember later.
