 A Surprise August 4, 2008
Clearly the best book she's ever written.
The premise is based on a true-life story. A promising college grad disappears, but his family receives a phone call from him each Mother's Day.
I've ready many of Mary Higgins Clark's books over the years, and I always enjoy her work. I enjoyed this one too, but it was a surprise, in the way the book was more than what I expected.
Mary Higgins Clark is moving beyond her role as a popular writer into something more. The array of well-developed characters and fascinating multiple story lines converged into an excellent read. The stories about these complex characters give the reader much to contemplate.
I would expect this successful author to crank out another interesting formula-style mystery. I was surprised how she is continuing to evolve and mature as a writer.
Absolutely excellent.
 The first Mary Higgins Clark book that didn't hold my interest July 29, 2008
I have every book written by Mary and looked forward to this book. Either my taste in reading has changed or Mary needs to slow down in her publishing mode. The book was good but just didn't hold me from beginning to end. I've had it for a couple of months and eventually will finish the book but cannot get into it. It is truly disappointing. I have several of Carol Higgins Clark's books and they are improving. Time to retire Mary? I love ya dearly and go back and read your old books but this one just doesn't make the grade.
A Good Solid MHC Read! July 24, 2008
The premise of this book is that 10 years ago, Charles (Mack) MacKenzie, Jr. walked out of his college housing, on a beautiful afternoon right before his graduation from Columbia undergraduate, never to be seen again. However, every year on Mother's Day he calls his mother to let her know that he's OK. This year, his 26-year old sister Carolyn, interupts the conversation to tell her brother that she's going to find him no matter what it takes. The following day her uncle a priest at a local parish finds a note in the collection basket "Uncle Devon tell Carolyn not to find me." Instead of detering her from the task at hand it just makes Carolyn more insistent. As she begins to unravel the mystery someone close to her will have to act fast or all his secrets will be revealed.
I have to say that I thought this was one of MHC's best efforts recently. Even though it follows her formula I didn't figure it out until they said who it was. It kept me turning the pages and if you're looking for a good mystery that you can finish in one day - this is it! Enjoy!
Pretty typical MHC..... July 21, 2008
This book was a fast read and a page turner. I found it to be *somewhat* predictable. Her books of late have not been as meaty and twisting as some of her earlier classic thrillers! I had a 'suspicion' who the bad guy was about 3/4 of the way thru, but then little twists had me thinking I was wrong. But in the end, I was correct! It was still suspenseful and fun to read. I have always loved MHC and always enjoy a good, light thriller. If you like books that are not filled with bad words, gory details and disturbing content - then this one is highly recommended!
Could not put this book down! July 9, 2008
Run...don't walk....and buy this book! It was wonderful! I could not put it down until I knew what had happened to Mack! I tried to figure out "who done it"...but could not! Wow...buy it now!
