DNF@24%.
Let's play a guessing game. Why do you think sraxe and I both DNF-ed this book?
A. Because it's predictable as hell, and we found out who the killer was early on in the book
B. Because the main character, Katie, was an invertebrate with a non-existent personality
C. Because the love interest, Richard, was a douchebag who kissed another woman later on in the book (granted, Richard and Katie weren't officially together, but hell, man, you were already putting the moves on her, you mofo)
D. Because the side characters were frustrating as fuck
E. Because the subject of cheating wasn't handled properly (the cheater even got a HEA with his mistress)
F. All of the above
Oh, you answered F?
Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner, folks!
Your prize is that you get to avoid wasting your 6.99 USD on this crappy story. Congratulations!

I don't like it when the murderer keeps getting away with stuff because of the stupidity of other people. And in this book, everyone behaved like a brainless dodo. They didn't tell, they lied, they didn't think it important, they hid stuff, they left it for later... If it happened once or twice, fine. That does happen. But it was everyone, all the time, from investigators to witnesses. And then suddenly, everybody decided to tell the truth about everything, at once. I mean, seriously?EXPERIMENTAL READ OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 Every month my friends and I go out of our comfort zones and embrace the world outside historical and contemporary romance.

Very suspenseful, I read it in one sitting. Excellently crafted so you know the mind of the killer as much as the victims and bystanders.
A dated (1980)Murder mystery which, despite some issues, manages to hold the reader's interest.A famous and highly regarded obstetrician/gynecologist with past, is helping desperate women to become mothers.But Katie De Maio, a local prosecutor involved in a minor traffic accident, is in the hospital and unable to sleep. In looking out the window to the parking lot below, believes she sees a man carrying the body of a woman to the trunk of his car and drive away in the middle of the night. The
Mary Higgins Clark is quite possible my favorite author. Her mysteries are always edge-of-your-seat, can't-stop-reading books that you can't wait to find out the who, what, and why.That said, this book isn't one of her best. We know who the killer is right off the bat, but we don't know exactly what he's doing, so it's the what and the why that we're chasing after in this book. I didn't feel quite as connected to the characters in this book as in some of her others. The storyline is pretty
This was an oldie, but goodie! This book grabbed my attention from the very first and never let up. I'm definitely up for reading other works by Mary Higgins Clark that I may have missed when I was younger.
