Publisher Description

In the gripping new novel from America's Queen of Suspense, a young woman is haunted by two murders that arc closely linked -- despite the one hundred and ten years that separate them.

Following the breakup of her marriage and her pursuit by an obsessed stalker, criminal defense attourney Emily Graham accepts an offer to work in a major Manhattan law firm.

Feeling a need for roots, she buys her ancestral home in New Jersey, which her family sold in 1892, after the disappearance of young Madeline Shapley one of Emily's forbears.

Now, more than a century later, as the house is being renovated, the bones of a young woman are found in the backyard. She is identified is Martha Lawrence, who disappeared four years earlier. Cluched in Martha's skeletal hand is the finger bone of another woman with a ring still on it -- a Shapley family heirloom.

When Emily investigates the link between her family's past and the recent murder, she provokes a devious and seductive killer, who selects her as his next victim.

    — Publishers Weekly

    — Amazon.com, editorial review
  • “Mary Higgins Clark is at her hair-raising best with On the Street Where You Live; after more than twenty-five years in the biz, Clark’s plotting remains fresh and original, and her prose is still sharp as a knife.

    " All of her books are the same- but they are intense, fast reads and I like them. For the most part, if you like one of her books you'll like them all. "

    " Scary, so not recommended if you are a light sleeper and like to read before bed! But not gory - more emotionally scary. Well written and keeps you guessing. Takes place in Spring Lake, NJ, so was fun as we were in midst of moving to Old Bridge, NJ "

    " I was in the mood for something different so I thought I would try a Mary Higgins Clark Book. I haven't read her in a loooong time. I really enjoyed her older books like "Where are the Children?" but I found this one to just be ok. I couldn't believe how stupid the heroine was to insist on stayin home alone when she knew a killer was going to strike shortly. I wasn't overly surprised by who the killer was either. Nice change from what I had been reading but not a riveting read. "

    " My absolute favorite MHC book! I loved it like crazy. I've reread it a dozen times and it's still just as good. Keeps you guessing on the edge of your seat, and spooky, too. Fantabulous! "

    " I always enjoy reading Mary Higgins Clark. Not deep, but relaxing reading. A Whodunit book with a lot of possibilities of who the guilty person was. I finally made a guess, and was correct, but was almost to the end and still wasn't sure. "

    " This is the second book I have read by this author. I like her books, and her writing style, however these books have WAY too many characters for me. It is hard to keep up with so many characters and their lives. I'm not sure if I will be reading another. I did like the book & the ending. "
