Summary: First MHC read for me, I expected more
Review: I purchased this book at the advice of my mother-in-law who likes to read MHC. After I read the book, I reserved my comments until after I loaned it to my mother-in-law. Then I loaned it to my daughter-in-law, who is an avid reader of everything. Because this was the first time I had read anything by MHC and because she is so well thought of, I was curious as to what both women would say. They said exactly what I thought they would. It was an average read, nothing really exciting. I felt better about my opinion then. This book never did grab me like I thought it would. I didn't bond with any of the characters and wondered where the author came up with such a lame plot. Maybe I just expected too much. I own the book and it's now part of my library, but I'll hold off buying another MHC book until someone else reads it first. If I start reading a book and can't put it down, it is an excellent read. It took me about a week to read this one because I just had other things I'd rather be doing. It's an average book, at best.

Summary: An Intense Mystery That Will Hold you Until the end!
Review: "We'll Meet Again" is a mystery about a woman who is convicted and serves time for killing her husband. Although, she doesn't believe she could take another human life, and her memory of the night her husband was murdered is very foggy. I am a new reader of mysteries and the only other one I've read was "The Cradle Will Fall" also by Clark. The plot in the beginning appears to be very similar, malpractice of hospitals and the beautiful woman is the main character. But, this is no ordinary novel. Once I really got to know the characters and got more into the plot, it became very interesting book. Clark does a very good job with description in her writing. The different scenes and characters throughout the novel are so well described, as to when you get to middle of the book you feel as if your just looking on, in these peoples lives. This quote is from the beginning, when the main character, Molly, comes back to her house to describe it, "...touching her grandmother's ornate silver tea service in the dining room while willing herself not to think of the prison dining room, the coarse plates, the meals that had been like ashes in her mouth. Everything seemed so familiar, yet she couldn't help feeling herself to be an intruder." Clark does a great job of incorporating personality characteristics, while still describing the setting as in the above quote. Not only does she describe scenes well, but also she describes characters very well also. "Her body filled out, and like her mother and sister she was now size 14. The dark hair that used to bounce on her shoulders was a trim curly cap around her heart shaped face." Her wording in how she writes, is amazing to me how she can she can find simple descriptive words like "curly cap" and "heart shaped face" and uses the same creative style throughout. Besides being very descriptive, she also creates irony in both this story and "The Cradle Will Fall." Situational irony is used a lot by her which makes the novel that much more suspenseful. You know what the other character's in the book are thinking and planning on doing, but at the same time the other character is oblivious and usually a character or two gets themselves into trouble. It raises this urge in you to scream "No, Don't go there!" Overall, the book, plot and characters were very well described and easy to follow. Sometimes it almost seems like her description of some items almost too overwhelming, and repetitive. But it's a very good book, and has an interesting twist at the end!

Summary: Exellent Story!
Review: We'll Meet Again by Mary Higgins Clark was an excellent book. I really enjoyed her style of writing because it was easy to understand and was very suspenseful. She keeps the reader thinking about more than one thing at a time. In one chapter, you're concentrating on one thing, and in the next chapter, it's something completely different. I think that's what makes the book full of suspense. Mary Higgins Clark uses descriptive words so that you can actually see it in your head. She is so descriptive that sometimes her words gave me the chills. Overall, I give the book We'll Meet Again by Mary Higgins Clark five stars.

Summary: My First MHC was Fantastic
Review: Believe it or not, this is the first time I've read anything by Mary Higgins Clark and I loved it. Molly Carpenter Lasch, was tried and convicted of murdering her husband, Dr. Gary Lasch, despite the fact she remembered nothing about the night he was killed. After being released on parole, Molly asserts her innocence again in front of the media. Among the media, Fran Simmons, an old classmate of Molly's from high school, begins covering the story for the local television station for a segment called True Crimes. Molly agrees to an interview with Fran and convinces Fran to help her investigate the murder further in order to find the answers that are at the edge of her memory. During the course of the investigation, a key witness is discovered murdered only hours after Molly questioned the witness. This story holds the reader captive until the very end. Highly recommended.

Summary: An enjoyable MHC mystery which should delight fans.
Review: This being my 3rd Mary Higgins Clark mystery, I will certainly not say it's better than Pretend You Don't See Her, but it was enjoyable none-the-less. Solid story with a great twist at the end and reasonably good characters make this an enjoyable 1-time read. I might read it a while down the road, but, while We'll Meet Again didn't grab me, it was an enjoyable read to fill my empty time. Well done, Mrs. Clark!

Summary: A Bit Disappointed
Review: I always look forward to of MHC's new releases... but this time I should have done without. I think this book had great potential, but it approached the story through the eyes of every character. I found that it jumped around throughout the chapters--many times I read something in a later chapter that had occurred just a chapter ago!

Although I will always be a MHC fan, I don't know that I can recommend this book others.
