The Second Time Around (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" This was the only book at our cabin and I was stuck there by myself for 2 whole days without television, computer, cell phone service, or even a radio. So I read this by default. It was alright. The story moved along nicely and kept me hooked throughout. Butttttttt, the ending was awful, it ruined the whole book for me. Hence the measly 2-star rating. "

" She is always a nice clean writer "

" I didn't find this one nearly as suspenseful as most of her mysteries. I am a real fan of MHC but can'r recommend this one. "

" Very good mystery involving the disappearance of a man claiming to have a cancer vaccine, and the repercussions it has on those around him. "

" Good mystery - and not the ending I thought might happen "

" This is great. Oh, no, not the book, you understand. It's shit. No, what's great is that I haven't wanted to read a really good book because I'm meant to be writing an essay, so crap like this is a nice mental shakedown after the textbooks, without enticing me to stay up all night. Already forgotten what it's about. Hopefully will get an A for my essay, though... "

" Not the best one of hers I have read. I kept forgetting who characters were, had to keep going back to check. "

" I always love a good murder mystery. It was clean as far as content, and kept me guessing with out being super intense. It was great for me because I wasn't looking for an "edge of your seat, can't put it down" kind of mystery, but I felt like it was well written and easy to follow. "

" The book was okay. A typical Mary Higgins Clark book. "

" Typical Mary Higgins Clark: Divorced women with no kids who has a guy she dates casually. She gets deaper into a mystery and deaper into her relationship with her boyfriend as he worries about her saftey. She gets herself into trouble and then is saved from death at the last minute. "

" This kept my interest while listening to it in the car during my travels between Milwaukee and Eau Claire. "

" I generally like her books a bit more. It seems like they are getting to be a bit like the Hardy Boys--just follow the formula to the end of the book. Some weak character development and run-of-the-mill bad guys. Okay book to listen to while you are working on other things. "

" Mary Higgins Clark delivers a consistently well written, well-structured book but it's just not gripping. If you're a fan of hers, you won't be disappointed. But if you're not, this one's not going to turn you. "

" I enjoyed this fiction novel of mystery and suspense. My favorite character was Carly, whom I believe was presented in a manner readers could easily understand. Although full of twists, mystery, and suspense, The Second Time Around still maintains a sense of 21st century reality. "

" This was a great book by one of the best mystery/suspense writers. Mary Higgins Clark can truly deliver a plot full of twists and turns. Every page flowed into the next! "

" Nicholas Spencer, charismatic head of a medical research company involved in the development of an anti-cancer vaccine, suddenly disappears. Carly is determined to get to the bottom of the story--even at her own peril. "

" Didn't keep me interested unlike other mystery novels that I've read. "

" It was suspenseful as usual "

" I had a hard time getting into the book. It was worth finishing once I started it. It seemed a bit typical for a murder mystery. I didn't like the ending at all. "

" Another amazing suspenseful, mysterious thriller from Mary Higgins Clark! Hard to put down once you start reading it. It keeps you at the edge of your seats. "

" I love to read this. There were many characters with different problems and different analysis. The plot made me had a lot of guesses for the 'evil' one. In the end, I'm still hoping that the victim (Nicholas Spencer) still alive. ;p "

" I can't remember the last time I read a Mary Higgins Clark book, but glad I picked this one up. It is actually 3+ stars, and really enjoyed it! "

" Clark's books are very formulaic and this is definitely not one of her best. "

" We listened to this audio book over two weekend road trips. What can I say, Mary Higgins Clark always makes the miles (or kilometers) fly by! "

" Looking for a cure for cancer is what we all want. To hope for it in this story added the suspense. "

" I always love Mary Higgins Clark, and this was no exception. The plot was iincredibly interesting and I found myself finding excuses to drive around town so I could listen to this audio book. :) "

" A great story by a great author! "

" I had a hard time getting into the book. It was worth finishing once I started it. It seemed a bit typical for a murder mystery. I didn't like the ending at all. "

" TBR Potluck Challenge - Millenia, Ally "

" Lame plot about a single cure for cancer.. not well written. Don't waste your time. "

" Had never read a Marry Higgins Clark before this. It was an enjoyable read. Nothing outrageous. A little to easy to solve for my taste. But I still thought it was a fun read. "

" This was much better than the previous Mary Higgins Clark book I read recently. This was more typical, a good mystery and interesting characters. "

" I thoroughly enjoy reading thrillers. I thought I knew the way this book would end. I was pleasantly surprised :) "

" Dunno what the story is about yet! Conspiracy, I guess...! I put it as my third, fourth or fifth, priority! :) "

" She's loosing her touch. I couldn't stay interested, the flow was off and the book was all around disappointing "

" amazing story dan inspiratif..<br/>buku keduanya MHC yang aku baca. jadi pengen baca buku2 karangan dia yang lainnya... "

" This wasn't one of her best ones, in my opinion. It was. . . kind of bland. Good, just not interesting. Didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. "

" I couldn't put this book down, it was smart and kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole book. "
