— BooklistVirtually everyone is a suspect.
— Publishers WeeklyClark has taken the rich and richer setting of Newport, RI, introduced a bunch of ambitious, would-be TV producers...and mixed in some history along with murder most foul.
— The Orlando SentinelThe dexterity in keeping so many guilty-looking characters afloat at once and the revelation of a truly surprising killer make Clark's sixth dispatch from KEY News her best.

— Publishers Weekly on Nowhere to RunImpossible to put down.
— Library Journal on Nowhere to RunIn classic Christie-like fashion, everyone is a suspect.
— Booklist on Nowhere to Run" A real page turner with short chapters and interesting fairly realistic characters. "
— Lbaker, 1/20/2014" This is a mystery of "Who did it?" Everyone looks suspect involving a murder that occurred 14 yrs. ago...and continues with a chain of events leading to the culprit. This is a simple-read. I will more than likely donate this book to my local library. It will not get "shelved" with my collection. "
— Ann, 1/19/2014" This series is sooooooo good....I really liked this one. Very suspenseful page-turner...didn't get much else done while reading it through. Looking forward to the next. "

— Dan, 12/30/2013" I realty enjoyed it. it was great. "
— Lisa, 12/13/2013" Okay fluff mystery, but pay attention to all the little characters, even those not mentioned often. You never know who might have done it. Again, seems to have too many undeveloped characters. She needs to work on making the readers relate to the characters. "
— Carol, 12/11/2013" never guessed who --- great book "
— Gerry, 12/9/2013" This book was alright. It had a really twisty ending, but after reading another one of her books this one wasn't as good. It has the same plot and idea from the other books. It all has to deal with news people. It was alright. "

— Annette, 9/15/2011" A unique setting behind the scenes in the television world. I liked the protagonist. Loved the aspect of her being a single mom. And Rhode Island is a state never used, and I enjoyed that quite a bit. "
— C., 7/26/2011" I probably should give this a 4 just because I love a good murder mystery and I REALLY love a good murder mystery during the summer! This was a fun random pick off the library shelf that will result in me reading more of her books. "
