Another good story, but very similar formulaically to the previous one I read by her. There were way to many characters to keep it slightly confusing, there was the obvious antagonist to make you think they did it, but they were just a red herring. There was the friend, or friends, who weren’t. There was the fringe male character who became important in the end...anyway, you get the point. The plots were very different, and both books were written well, but the bones were the same, and it made this one very easy to figure out the “whodunnit”. ( ) DNF @ 9%. Unabridged audio In my search for a thriller/mystery, this author had name recognition. Considering my DNF at single digits, I am baffled about how she gained such a reputation. I kept tripping over what I suppose was the author’s attempt to be original. It resulted in epic failures that jarred me so thoroughly out of the story that I gave up. A character whose hair is described as “midnight brown.” Another tripwire: “what goes up must converge.” These two gems of “literary genius” were so distracting that I missed several minutes of narrative immediately after them, trying to figure out what the heck the author was saying. So this was the first Mary Higgins Clark I’ve ever read and I just really loved it. I’ve seen other reviews that say it isn’t as good as some of her others but for me it is one of my favorite mysteries. I liked all the characters, even the annoying ones and felt the suspense was perfect. Mary Higgins Clark did a fabulous job of intertwining the past with the present and bring into question fate and reincarnation. I also really liked reading a story where the cops were actually trying to help and didn’t write off the main characters thoughts as paranoia. The main character in this story is great but flawed in her inability to realize the risk she is putting her own life in but what is even better is that several of the other characters call her out on it. The author does a really good job of closing the loop on several side plots and really weaves the two current mysteries together as well as find closure for the past mystery. I don’t this isn’t a real detailed review but I just really enjoyed this story and found it completely entertaining and engrossing. It will become one of my re-reads. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In the gripping new novel from America's Queen of Suspense, a young woman is haunted by two murders that are closely linked -- despite the one hundred and ten years that separate them. Following the acrimonious breakup of her marriage and the searing experience of being pursued by an obsessed stalker, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham accepts an offer to leave Albany and work in a major law firm in Manhattan. Feeling a need for roots, she buys her ancestral home, a restored Victorian house in the historic New Jersey seaside resort town of Spring Lake. Her family had sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily's forebears, Madeline Shapley, then still a young girl, disappeared. Now, more than a century later, as the house is being renovated and the backyard excavated for a pool, the skeleton of a young woman is found. She is identified as Martha Lawrence, who had disappeared from Spring Lake over four year ago. Within her skeletal hand is the finger bone of another woman with a ring still on it -- a Shapley family heirloom. In seeking to find the link between her family's past and the recent murder, Emily becomes a threat to a devious and seductive killer, who has chosen her as the next victim.
