"This was the perfect vacation mystery read!! LOVED it. It also was fun since it takes place in New Jersey and that's where we spent part of our vacation. :) I like how MHC keeps throwing you out ideas as to what is going on, but so many people look suspicious you'll be fairly surprised at the end."

Quotes
-
“Clark’s prose…takes readers where they want to go—deep into an old-fashioned tale of a damsel in delicious distress.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“The cleverly complex plot gallops along at a great clip, the little background details are au courant, and the identities of both murderers come as an enjoyable surprise. On the Street Where You Live just may be Clark’s best in years.”
— 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. Chilling, engrossing, and genuinely enjoyable, On the Street Where You Live shows that the Queen of Suspense continues to work with the deftness and grace of a true master of the form.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review -
“A suspenseful page-turner that will delight her many fans.”
— Booklist -
“A highly entertaining thriller that just might provoke you to view your friends and family in a more speculative light.”

" Oh my gosh so freaky! This was so interesting how it could repeat itself through a diary once kept.... "
— Lynnette, 2/5/2014 -
" I must say Mary Higgins Clark this has to be your worst book yet. I felt like there was not enough development with all of the characters. But then how much can you do when you tell a story from so many different points of view? "

" really enjoyed the book! one of my favourite authors!! "
— Asma, 12/5/2013 -

— Brenda, 12/19/2012 -
" 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. "
— Marlene, 9/13/2012 -
" 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 "
— Tatiana, 6/5/2012 -

" Of Mary Higgins Clark's books, this is the only one that really impacted me. The idea of the copicat killer is disturbing, yet heinously familliar. The ending isn't too bad, either. "
