"I have probably (somewhat shamefully) read a good majority of Mary Higgins Clark's books. It's my guilty pleasure. I really like mystery novels. Granted, the writing isn't the best but I do enjoy reading them, predictable as they are. I've probably read more than what's listed but I can't remember them all." — K (4 out of 5 stars)

" It's a clean book I would recommend to anyone as an interesting and easy read. It is suspenseful and the culprit remains hidden until the end. Skillfully constructed, easy to follow; characters are well defined. I enjoyed it. "
" Even at a 'rich and famous' spa, crime marches forward! "
" parts were predictable but overall a good mystery "
" very hard to follow I very seldom don't finish a book but this book was a big waste of time. "
" I read this b/c it was the first book MHC had Alvirah Meehan as a character. It was ok. "
" I found myself not able to put this book down. It was very easy to get into and was constantly thinking about and trying to figure out who did it. This is my second favorite book from Mary Higgins Clark "
" Enjoyable book except just a tad predictable with a disgusting ending. There are far too many men in the world for anyone to hook up with their beloved dead sister's man! "
" Apparently I read this one as well...what's wrong with me? Must have been in an airport. "
" Re-reading some of MHC's old stuff is reminding me that, yes, she can write a good book. Her last one (The Lost Years) was just so terrible I'm nervous to read the one coming out in a few months. "
" If you have never read this author, take time. She is a very fast read. Short chapters that move very fast. "
" She pulls you in and does not let go until you finish the book. "
" this is one of her best, couldn't put it down, a must read "
" I always like Mary Higgins Clark's books. This one was good, even in a dated setting. I did guess who did it right away, but even so, I didn't guess some of the clues that went along with it - so it was still a good one. "
" Good book.....as all hers are! "
" Love Mary Higgins Clark books! All the suspense without questionable content. "
" An excellent mystery. It kept me reading until the last page. "
" Easy page-turning murder mystery, with a Dallas/Dynasty feel. "
" It was pretty good. Kept me guessing, and it was a quick read. "
" It was entertaining--a good popcorn book. "
" I got this book from the lunch room at work. It was a good enough book to fill the time since I didn't have any others then. But it wasn't great. "
" I think this was my first Mary Higgins Clark, and it was a fun read. Good story, unpredictable villain--a page turner. I don't know if I'll read a whole lot more of Clark, but only because mystery isn't my favorite genre. "
" I remember that I didn't like this book at all. I had it figured out from the beginning. "
" I loved this book! It was very suspensful "
" Who to trust & who not to trust? Who is the friend & who is the real killer?! Was interesting to find out how this would end. "
" This was the one MHC book that has really left me disappointed. The plot was very predictable, so guessing who the killer was is pretty easy. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a great plot line. "
" Love this one! Kept me guessing who killed leila the whole time! been a while since I had read any of MHC books, I think I've found a new love for them :) into the next... "
" Not my favorite of what I read.Its about this girl named Leila who everyone thinks either kills herself or is murdered. Then another murder happens who was Leila's friend and then everyone changes there mind and knows who the killer is. "
" I really enjoy MHC's books...But I am tired this morning because I had to stay up after 11 pm last night to finish. Her books are that good. "
" Enjoyed this one quite a bit!!! "
" This is another classical mystery fro Mary Higgins Clark. It has a lot of twists and turns and plenty of suspense. A wonderful read! "
" I loved it! MGC goes in-depth with her description of surroundings and even gestures of characters. It feels like you're really there, watching the story unfold infront of you. "
" Another thrilling read from Clark! Action-packed and suspenseful, this time it is the sister of the victim who undertakes a search for the truth behind the murder. "
" Noioso, lento, soporifero. Perchè l'ho letto? Ma soprattutto, perchè l'ho finito? "
" I enjoyed this book. I had read it before, realized it part way through. This was classic Clark, she kept me guessing on the who did it for the longest time. "
" This is my least favorite of her books so far. It was ok. "
" Mary Higgins Clark is just amazing she never fails to entertain me! "
" Easy read, a tad different then MHC normal pattern. "
" This novel had a slow pace, very slow and it wasn't until the last few pages I really became intriqued. Otherwise, it was a good read with beleivable characters. "
" It was a classic from Mary Higgins Clark. I always love reading her books growing up. even through I realized who the "killer" was before the middle of the book, it was well written, so I finished it. She tried to throws the reader off a couple of times. "
" Wonderful murder mystery. I read at an early age but I think it would be a good read at any age. "
" This is a pretty good mystery. "
" As always, Mary Higgins Clark does not disappoint. An intricate plot, plenty of suspects, red herrings galore, a few murders and a heroine in danger make this a great read "
