"A nice cozy read. Set in a small cape town (a small town mystery) the characters are well defined and the author has played well with the ordinary fears and jealousies. Menley, the protagonist, has recently lost a child and is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Her husband is a renowned lawyer. As per her doctor's prescription, they decide to take a vacation at the tranquil Cape Cod in a rented house on the beach, which has a sinister history. How such details could be used by antagonist(s) to their advantage, remains to be seen. This is a story of murder and love, treachery and innocence, ghosts and secret rooms and more so, the beach and the gulls. Overall, a gripping mystery with a smell of salty tang of the sea breeze." — Rupali (5 out of 5 stars)

“Suspense with a capital S.”
“A grippingly readable thriller....Mary Higgins Clark does wonders.”
“Megan Gallagher gives a lively, chilling reading giving all the subtlety and menace for which Mary Higgins Clark is renowned. A strong program.”
“With such a tangle of villainous plots, you’d expect as many loose ends…Miraculously, though, Clark, working like a steam engine, pulls everything together in a story that suits her gifts for compelling narrative perfectly. Readers more interested in mystery than menace may well find this her best book yet.”
" I could tell that Clark did a good amount of research for this story, which always makes me happy as a reader. However, I found the ending to be a bit anticlimactic. I had a hard time caring about the characters all that much, though I found the premise intriguing. "
" Termasuk salah satu novel thriller Marry Higgins yang seram. "
" I'd actually give this 2 1/2 stars if I could choose that. It was okay. Not my favorite book by this author. The husband's obtuseness (is that a word?) drove me a little crazy. "
" Starts off slow, but she has a maddening way of pulling you in. A bit predictable, but also kept me guessing at a few things with uncertainty as to how all the small details came together. "
" Just a wonderful story. Very interesting to read about how the characters current house was a part of her past and she didnt know it. This is a must read!! "
" I enjoyed this book, though its quite complicated to follow at the beginning, but i did like how it turned out at the end. "
" Great book. Hard to believe who were the "bad" people. But it came together there at the end. "
" this book was preety good. "
" Mary Higgins Clark's books are my favorite. "
" It is hard for me to read books where children are involved but it was a good one. "
" Enjoyed this one. Written in short little 'scenes.' The story begins to tighten up and come together. I didn't really have a clue about what was happening until pretty well into the story when I finally began to think that this or that was what was REALLY going on. Well done, MHC. "
" This book is amazing, you have to read it! "
" This is one of my all time favorite books. "
" I love this book. It was my first Mary Higgins Clarke's book.This is the second time I have read it. "
" I won't reveal the ending to you but I must say that if you are looking for something to terrify you, this is the book to read. It is amazing, scary, emotional, tense, etc., etc.... "
" creepy! I couldn't look at this book at night. Hahaha. "
" I am starting to enjoy a little mystery mixed in with my romance interests. Clark seems to be heavier on the mystery than the romance, but so far it is OK for me. Not too gorrey or violent or scary. I like that in my mysteries. "
" Fast pace story. Hard to put down. "
" It was really confusing and didn't really make sense until the end. There was too many characters to really feel an attachement to any of them. I would not read this again. "
" Like her books because they are a quick read and can be finished in one sitting. This is one of her better novels. "
" awesome read. love the author...great!!! "
" Wow I loved this book!! One of my friends (ok my Mom) told me to read this one. She was right kinda a spokey story but not much, just a real good mystery and I loved the end. "
" i read it when i was in junior high. am looking forward to read this again if i have the chance to. "
" While a bit predictable it was still a well written book with many references albeit dated of the Boston/ Logan area as well as the Cape. Nicely drawn together at the end but the last bit should have been dropped... too sappy. "
" good story but ended too quickly "
" I enjoyed the setting for this novel and all the references to the ocean and arcitecture. The story had a steady pace but I did figure out the killer......just didn't know why. "
" This is my favorite MHC book. I really enjoyed it! "
" Amazing! I can't really leave a review without spoilers, but I can say that the ending is an unexpected twist of pure genius! I never would've guessed... "
" need to read it again. I wish I remembered more. "
" I loved this one as well. She is a good suspence writer. "
" Very good book. Suspenseful the whole way through. Scared me a little when I can't sleep and am the only one awake. Good, easy read though. "
" I love this book. It's probably my absolute favorite of Mary Higgins Clark's books. She makes you think that the good people are actually good but at the end they turn out to be bad. I love all of her books. She's an amazing author. "
" Loved it! I enjoyed how the book moved back and forth between characters. It was full if suspense and a quick read. "
" not bad, but probably my least favorite. "
" This is my all time favorite book by Mary Higgins Clark! I bought the book a few times! Even have the book on tape. Just a great story and the end always gives me chills! "

Megan Gallagher wanted to act from the time she was five years old. She later took drama lessons when she was in high school. She moved to New York to attend Juilliard and appeared in the Broadway cast of A Few Good Men where she won two theater awards (Theatre World and Outer Critics Circle Award for outstanding debut) for her Broadway performance in A Few Good Men. After graduating from Juilliard with a bachelor’s degree, she began to work with John Houseman’s Acting Company and soon had screen roles in TV movies and miniseries, but was so discouraged trying to make it in LA that she nearly gave up to go to law school. Then she won the Hill Street Blues role, which developed from a guest star to a regular role.
