Mary Higgins Clark was born in the Bronx, New York on December 24, 1927. After graduating from high school and before she got married, she worked as a secretary, a copy editor, and an airline stewardess. She supplemented the family's income by writing short stories. After her husband died in 1964, visa mer leaving her with five children, she worked for many years writing four-minute radio scripts before turning to novels. Her debut novel, Aspire to the Heavens, which is a fictionalized account of the life of George Washington, did not sell well. She decided to focus on writing mystery/suspense novels and in 1975 Where Are the Children? was published. She received a B.A. in philosophy from Fordham University in 1979. Her other works include While My Pretty One Sleeps, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Moonlight Becomes You, Pretend You Don't See Her, No Place Like Home, The Lost Years, The Melody Lingers On, As Time Goes By and Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry.

She is also the co-author, with her daughter Carol Higgins Clark, of several holiday crossover books including Deck the Halls, He Sees You When You're Sleeping, Santa Cruise, The Christmas Thief, and Dashing Through the Snow. She writes the Under Suspicion series with Alafair Burke. In 2001, Kitchen Privileges: A Memoir was published. She received numerous honors including the Grand Prix de Literature of France in 1980), the Horatio Alger Award in 1997, the Gold Medal of Honor from the American-Irish Historical Society, the Spirit of Achievement Award from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University the first Reader's Digest Author of the Year Award 2002 and the Christopher Life Achievement Award in 2003.

Sarah Harrington is delighted by the lovely graduation celebration at the Harbor Yacht Club for her twin sons, Simon and Ethan. Simon, graduating from Harvard, would be heading for Columbia Law School in the fall while Ethan, graduating from the University of Massachusetts, had a keen interest in music.
How could she possibly know that, before the night drew to a close, she and her husband Richard would both be gone . . . and that one of her beloved twin sons would be blamed for their deaths?
=========
The story opens ten years in the past, at the graduation party. The night the twins’ parents were murdered.
Moving to the present, television producer Laurie Moran and her “Under Suspicion” crew are investigating cold case. Simon believed Ethan had committed the crime while the police believed Ethan and Simon had conspired to kill their parents. Ethan maintained his innocence and the twins have been estranged since the night of the tragedy.
Although this book is eighth in the “Under Suspicion” series, there is sufficient backstory for the book to work well as a standalone. The expected characters are all in place, joined by the Harrington family and friends. With its well-developed, nuanced characters, strong sense of place, and complex, intriguing plot, readers will find much to appreciate in this captivating mystery.
As long-held secrets come to light, readers who enjoy mysteries and thrillers will find much to appreciate in this story that grabs readers from the outset and keeps the suspense building until the unexpected denouement.
Highly recommended.
I received a free copy of this book from Simon and Schuster and NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
