I've Got My Eyes on You
It has been quite a while since I read a Mary Higgins Clark book. I really liked this book. The author does such a good job of keeping the story moving and the characters are made to sound so real. Never mind the mystery of who could have done it. A good story and quick easy read.

Laughable
I have been a diehard MHC fan for over ten years and this book was horrible. It was so cliche I actually cringed and laughed out loud a few times. It honestly seemed like she was under contract to get a new book out so she just threw this together (or some newbie ghostwriter did...). I'm super disappointed in this book. Seriously, I can't think of a single good thing about it.

A Party Gone Wrong
Without giving spoilers, this story starts when an 18 year-old girl bound for college in a few weeks gives a party for her friends while her parents are out of town. She sends everyone home by 11 so neighbors won't call police. Left to clean up by herself, she is murdered in her back yard. Her older sister finds her at the bottom of the family pool the next day.It's a real whodunit. The victim argued publicly with her boyfriend at the party, an uninvited guest comes over after the party-goers leave, and is there a third potential perpetrator known only as "Big Guy?" What about a mystery man who made a pass at the victim recently and was left off the guest list?It wouldn't be a Mary Higgins Clark mystery without a budding romance intertwined with solving the mystery. I look forward to that every time. In this book, the heroine is the victim's older sister. She has two would-be suitors that she whittles down to one by the book's end.Other characters will hold the reader's interest.On the likable side, there is a young man with special needs and his protective mother, a young girl who recently moved to town who was befriended by the victim, and the police detective assigned to the case. On the unpleasant side, there are parents who put so much pressure on their son he is always close to snapping, and a self-serving mentor. Teenagers make bad decisions about what they say to police, because they think they are "helping" their friends. Unfortunately, most of the town's people rush to judgment, jeopardizing the future of anyone accused.This book is just what you would expect from the Queen of Suspense - a page turner! I started reading her books in 1975, and I have not missed one since. For fans like me, you will not be disappointed by this latest thriller. For the first-time MHC reader, you are so lucky, you can pick up her other titles right away.

Boring
I am very disappointed. I always look forward to Me. Clark's books, but this one is just bad. The characters are flat, there is no personality to them, and the writing is simplistic. Nowhere close to normal MHC books.

Awful!
This book was just awful. There was no suspense and it seemed like it was written for a 12-year old. I guessed right away who the killer was and had to force myself to keep reading. Waste of time and money!

Another good book from Mary Higgins Clark
It's been awhile since I have read one of her murder mysteries and this one looked promising. The story line was good, but I knew who did it not long after she introduced the character. So, good book but disappointingly more predictable than previous books.

Predictable Ending
I’ve read all of Mary Higgins Clark books. Usually there are enough twists to keep me interested. But, I guessed who did it and why early on in this story. Each book seems to have the same plot formula. Maybe this is true of all authors. Although the romance was entertaining, the book was not worth purchasing.

Excellent read, but too easy!
This was an outstanding book, and held my interest all the way. I would have given it five stars, but I had figured out who the killer was in the first few pages of the book. An excellent read, but just a little too predictable. Especially because I usually haven't any idea who the 'whodunnit' is in these books. I'll admit I'm not the best detective but this was so obvious.

Don’t bother
This is a really poorly written book. Weak storyline and characters you really don’t care about. This is the first Mary Higgins Clark book I’ve not enjoyed. There was no depth at all to the plot.
