Publisher Description
A tale of brilliantly sustained terror from america's "queen of suspense"
Set in Newport, Rhode Island, Moonlight Becomes You has as its center Maggie Holloway, an independent young woman who has put personal tragedy behind her and become one of the fashion world's most successful photographers.
While accompanying her date to his family reunion, Maggie is reunited with a woman who had once been her stepmother. Nuala, now widowed, invites Maggie to visit her, but when Maggie arrives, she finds Nuala dead -- the victim of an apparently random break-in.
Maggie is stunned when she learns Nuala had changed her will, leaving her Victorian house to Maggie -- the only proviso that she occasionally visit her old friend Greta Shipley. When she accompanies Mrs. Shipley to the cemetery to visit Nuala's grave -- as well as those of other friends recently lost -- Maggie discovers that something is terribly wrong. Using her skills as a photographer to aid her in uncovering the secrets hidden on the gravesites, she realizes that these deaths may not have been random, but part of a diabolical scheme. What Maggie doesn't realize is that she too has become a target -- and each clue brings her closer to a shocking, unimaginable fate.
With the sense of swiftly mounting danger that has made all of Mary Higgins Clark's works major bestsellers, Moonlight Becomes You is enthralling suspense.

"A few slow parts, but so exciting at the end! I was back and forth thinking to myself "he did it, no he did it, oh wait, it's gotta be him, or maybe it's not" I love books that make you think like that. This author has a great talent for twisting the endings of her books."

" This was my first book by Mary Higgins Clark. The story is riveting. She keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very shocking end. I absolutly loved it and could read it over and over again. "
— Vicky, 2/15/2014 -
" I read it in one sitting so I suppose it was quite good. :-) "
— Hannele, 1/29/2014 -
" this was the first book that i read, that Mary Higgins Clark wrote and ever sense that book I've been reading a lot of her books. "
— Melissa, 1/24/2014 -
" Mary Higgins Clark has allways written interesting stories but the more I read the more I realize that she has become predictable. Alert! Possible spoilers ahead!! In the two recent books I read, each has a strong, beautiful, well educated female main character. Each had 3 lead male characters, one being very rich and well known, one being well educated but obviously a scoundrel & a cheat, a third being in between but more gentle. All 3 male characters are under suspicions of being the murderer. Also, in the background is someone who is an artist, the settings are of the wealthy and privileged. Two of men begin to date the main character while she is trying to solve the murders - lo and behold, she is attacked, left for dead and saved! The wealthy man is the murderer and the inbetween character is the savior, and the cheat is caught. The names of the characters change as does the physical setting but the plot is the same - predictable. "

" Mary H. Clark non sbaglia un colpo. Ottimo libro con splendidi colpi di scena. "

" If you want to experience a spine-chilling mystery late at night, this is a very good read. "
— Pam, 1/11/2014 -
" Not bad. I thought the romance was contrived, but the mystery was good. I suspected the guilty party, but Clark kept me guessing right up until it was revealed in the story. The story felt more dated than it actually was, which I suspect is due to Clark being an older writer. "
— Faith, 1/8/2014 -
" I read this in 6th grade and have loved her books ever since. Murder mysteries by Mary Higgins Clark are the best! :) "
— Kirstyn, 1/7/2014 -
" It was ok...I lost interest so fast...It sort of just goes off into an uninteresting path...i stopped reading and i honestly won't keep reading it for a long time. I recommend other Mary Higgins Clark books alot more. "
— Elena, 12/30/2013 -
" Enjoyed reading this thriller, however the ending with the love interest was too quick. I wanted more details about the romance.. Gushy love declarations etc. "
— Lana, 12/24/2013 -
" I used to like her books but this one just didn't hold me. A woman goes to visit her former step-mother, finds her murdered and lots of old ladies start dropping at a nursing home. There were so many characters I got lost. "
— Aldafan, 12/15/2013 -
" Um livro espantoso! ( O Luar Fica-te Bem ) "
— Babete, 12/3/2013 -
" I decided to just put one of her books here as a representation of them all. I like them all. Anything she writes, with the exception of the Lottery winners. The books with them annoy me. "
— Jen, 11/14/2013 -
" OH MY WORD!!!! This is absolutely my favorite M.H.C. novel. Hands-down BEST!!! "
— Laura, 11/8/2013 -
" Keeps your attention, very suspenseful "
— Dianna, 10/25/2013 -
" That book was AMAZINGLY scary!!!! but so thrilling that you couldnt put it down! "
— Brynn, 10/17/2013 -
" Sort of like a soap opera. The cemetary part actually reminded me of a soap opera episode I saw at a friends' house in junior high. This is the only book I've read by Higgins Clark, but I would give her a try again. "
— Laurie, 9/4/2013 -
" Dumped it after 100 pages when I was desperate to find a good story but the repeated changes in characters, long descriptions, etc. drove me crazy. "
— Eric, 8/24/2013 -
" I got to hear Mary Higgins Clark speak last week and I loved her wit. I have never read any of hers and picked this one up. It is a little creepy, but compelling. I am a wimp when it comes to creepy - so it would be tame for most others. I will read more of hers. "
— Jane, 8/18/2013 -
" no clue, it was only few pages that i read but it looks interested though the characters are too many it makes you a bit confused. "
— Shinta, 8/12/2013 -
" This book was so creepy I was on the verge of an anxiety attack, but I couldn't put it down. Absolutely, hands down, my favorite MHC book! "
— Stephanie, 7/23/2013 -
" I have only read a couple of this author's books and so far so good. She does a good job of developing the mystery and presenting several red herrings to keep you guessing until almost the end of the book. This was a pretty good book overall. "
— Jessica, 6/25/2013 -
" I was trying to figure out who it was, I was stumped! Maybe the next book I will have a piece of paper to make notes to see if I can figure out the mystery before I am given the answer! LOL "
— Jadine, 5/9/2013 -
" You'll just have to read it. I really loved it, it had an amazing twist near the end that really threw me for a loop. "
— Rachael, 5/7/2013 -
" It was a pretty good mystery. The end was a bit costerphobic for me. I never new the whole old tradition of tying a string to the deceased person's finger and connecting it to a bell at the surface in fear of being burried alive. Interesting. "
— Brianna, 4/8/2013 -
" The only book of hers I've read. Maybe it wasn't the best to start with, but I'm not a huge mystery fan anyway. "
— Rose, 3/30/2013 -
" I soooooo loved this book! It was downright creepy all the way through. It was easy to feel claustrophobic and panicy when our heroine found herself buried alive in that victorian casket. The author did a great job! "
— Angela, 3/18/2013 -
" Great suspense novel from the very first page on!! "
— Allison, 2/18/2013
