Publisher Description
Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark brings us another New York Times bestselling novel that she “prepares so carefully and executes with such relish” (The New York Times Book Review) about a witness to a murder who finds that what she’s seen might make her the next casualty.
Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers’ spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder—and to the dying words of the victim. The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter’s journal—which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It’s an impulse that later proves nearly fatal.
Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date—until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who’s behind the deaths of the two women—before she’s the next casualty.
At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don’t See Her is the “mistress of high tension” (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.

"While I couldn't give this book 5 stars, it was still a good read, and shows off some of Ms. Clark's writing ability. I especially liked this book because of the surprises that kept coming, and racked my brain trying to figure out whodunnit to Heather Landi. The mark of a good book has a hard-to-figure out whodunnit, and this book is also nicely-paced. Classic MHC, a solid read."
— Delicious (4 out of 5 stars)

" I enjoyed reading this book and will probably read more books by this author. Not too heavy of a story. "
— Tina, 2/20/2014 -
" yeah, I actually finished the damn thing. I normally love MHC but the characters in this book were stupid and made one really dumb decision after another. Too many bad guys and players in this and just overall her weakest book. "
— Lindsay, 2/9/2014 -
" Very intriguing mystery. It wrapped up just a *little* too neatly at the end for me though, and actually left me with a few questions about some characters who were painted in such a way throughout the bulk of the novel as to have you questioning their character, then in the last chapter, a brief sentence or two was given to tidily explain their innocence. I felt like I was left a little dangling. "
— Wendyh, 2/5/2014 -
" Lacey saw a murder and was put into the witness protection program and was sent away. She tried to be her own detective! This was a very good mystery that kept you wanting to turn each page quickly right to the very end! "

" "Pretend You Don't See Her" was an okay story. The plot contained a number of coincidences, which, while not completely unbelievable, made for a conveniently neat story. Different aspects of the mystery were somewhat predictable as well. Still, it is not a bad read to pass the time. "
— Trish, 11/29/2013 -
" This one was an abridged audiobook. I really prefer them unabridge!! "

" Just average. "
— Julie, 8/29/2013 -
" Fun, quick, somewhat predictable but still engaging. Girl witnesses murder, enters witness protection program, it turns out all kinds of people in her social structure are connected to the crime...good guys win, bad guys lose, and the girl gets the handsome, winning guy. "
— Leslie, 8/3/2013 -
" I loved this book! The only thing I didn't like about it is that they swore a lot in it but other than that it was sooo good! "
— Abbi, 7/17/2013 -

" My husband (a real good sport) and I are listening to this mystery as we travel by car on a short get away this weekend. You always know what you are going to get with Mary Higgins Clark, but that is not a bad thing. Two hours into the book we are both somewhat intrigued by the story. "
