Couldn’t put this book down, so intense

Wonderfully written kept me up nights had to see what happens next. Well thought out plot and believable characters that all had depth and intrigue. Loved it!

This novel is no less intriguing than all the others, and no less exciting. A little pat in places it's still a thoroughly entertaining read.

I enjoyed the character development and storytelling in this book. I didn’t figure out too quickly who had done the crime like I do with a lot of other books. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

It does jump around a bit in the beginning. However, it smooths itself out and really pulls you in. I will truly miss Ms. Clark and her fabulous stories.

I seriously couldn't put this book down!! Mary Higgins Clark continues to be my favorite author and never disappoints with her novels!!

This was a very well developed plotline with an refreshing twist incorporating the sleepwalking element. Mystery fans (and definitely Mary Higgins Clark ones) would likely enjoy this entry to her library.

Librarian Kay Lansing marries Peter Carrington, head of the wealthy Carrington family.Peter Carrington has been under suspicion for murdering his childhood sweetheart, and as after 22 years her body is discovered on the Carrington estate in Englewod, New Jersey, Peter is charged with her murder.The fact that Peter Carrington is a sleepwalker, adds an interesting twist to the story, and I got urged to read more about sleepwalking by reading this book.I'll not reveal more details about the murder investigation - in fact, the investigation of several connected murders - but leave it to the readers."The queen of suspense" has a unique talent for intricate plots as well as phsycological insight into the human mind.As all her books, "I Heard That Song Before" is a real page-turner. I brought it with me on holiday. Thought it would last me a few days but finished it overnight!Mary Higgins Clark's books come with a quality guarantee. Her fans can always trust her to deliver the best. Enjoy!

If you are recovering from an illness like me, then this is an ideal book to read as it isn't too taxing on the brain. Here we see Kay Lansing married to Peter Carrington who has a bit of a chequered past with the law, but is he guilty or a scapegoat hiding somebody else's guilt. Kay is very worried because Peter is a sleepwalker and has no memory doing it. Two bodies are found near the Carrington property and once again Peter is plunged into the nightmare of proving his innocence. Also years ago, Peter's first wife died drowned in the pool. Guilty or innocent? While Peter is in custody, his wife Kay is left holding the fort. Can she prove Peter's innocence before he is tried, found guilty and imprisoned? Good read. Would recommend.

Got this for my mum in lockdown. she didn't enjoy it as much as the author's other books. says there were too many red herrings and the ending was an anti-climax.

I love her books, they are well written with a good mixture of romance and mystery. This is a method that works well for her, holding the reader enthralled to the last page and wanting more at the end of the book.

Good read, not as good as some of the earlier books though.
