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: Predictable
Review: Having been a first time reader of a Mary Higgins Clark novel I was pleasantly surprised. WeÕll Meet Again is a murder mystery that definitely kept me on my toes. In the story, Molly Carpenter Lasch is accused of murdering her husband quite brutally with a Remington bronze sculpture and is incarcerated on those charges. Her memory of that night was unexistant until she was out on parole and bit by bit events of that evening started fitting into place. Determined to find her husbands killer, she and an old classmate, Fran Simmons, begin putting the pieces of the murder together and start to investigate what the police wonÕt. Through the course of the novel dark secrets are revealed and situations occur that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Mary Higgins Clark is a fascinating writer, she does a great job of keeping her audience in suspense. It was surprisingly easy to keep track of the characters in the book, and the ending was not at all anticipated. I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys suspense or someone who is lacking a little excitement in their life.

Summary: Mysterious!!
Review: I recently read "We'll Meet Again", by Mary Higgins Clark. It is a mystery that is 283 pages. Dr. Gary Lacsh is murdered one night and everybody suspects that his own wife killed him. The only problem is that his wife claims that she has no memory of that night. She vaguely remembers that someone else was in the house. Did she really murder him?

Mary Higgins Clark was born on December 24, 1929. She was raised in New York. She studied in the Fordham University in 1974. She recieved a BA in philosophy. Her success is due in large part to her likeable characters. She published the book "We'll Meet Again" in 1999.

This book was a great suspense story that got me interested from the first page to the last page. Once I got to know the characters, I felt I was in the court room watching the case with my own eyes. The story had very suspenseful details that twist and turn the story. Clark is very good at describing the character in detial that you start to feel that you are in their heads. Every sentence is important to the case and i felt as if I was investigating. If you like mysteries and stories that will keep you on the edge of you seat, then this is the book for you.

Summary: A Riveting Read
Review: In We'll Meet Again, Molly Carpenter-Lasch is tried and convicted of killing her husband, beloved Dr. Gary Lasch. There's one problem though--Molly has no recollection of the events of that night. She awoke the morning after the murder to find herself covered in her dead husband's blood. A plea bargain gets her a shorter sentence and upon her release Molly declares on TV for the world to see that she didn't kill her husband but she will try to find out who did. Enter Fran Simmons, school chum whose father committed suicide for stealing money from the library fund. Fran is now an investigative reporter and Molly wants her to help her find the truth behind her husband's murder.

This story was hard to get into but after it gets going it is well worth the time. There are a lot of characters involved which makes it at times very frustrating keeping them straight. I found myself going back to reread pages trying to keep them straightened out in my mind. The storyline is good, although a little confusing when speaking of the HMO's. The book is fast-paced after about page 100. I found myself not really enjoying the book until I had passed the 100 page milestone. Then it becomes so good I couldn't think of not finishing it. And I must say the culprit was NOT who I thought it would be.

We'll Meet Again is a book well worth reading. Just keep in mind you need to get past the somewhat boring beginning to truly enjoy it. Although not one of my favorite Mary Higgins Clark books one enjoyable to read.

Summary: Well Plotted Mystery that will Keep You Guessing
Review: Investigative reporter Fran Simmons has decided to do a follow up story on a local murder. Molly Lasch just spent five and a half years in prison for killing her husband. However, even after serving her time she still swears she is innocent and she wants to find the real killer, even if it means talking to the woman who had been her husband's mistress. Then said mistress is found stabbed to death and Molly is implicated in her murder.

Molly's husband had been the CEO of the local HMO at the time of his death. DR. Peter Black, one of his partners, still practices at the hospital and several patients have died mysteriously and it looks like he might be involved.

Lots of stuff going on in this well plotted mystery. MHC always delivers and she always keeps you guessing.
