    Very suspenseful and a very creepy character. So sad about the character Lally, I would have liked to have seen her make it but that would have made it a fairy tale huh but she did get some reward

    This was not MHC best work in my opinion. I didn’t appreciate the occasional cussing. Also, there were repeat pages, maybe during editing that should not have been included. I was very confused for a minute but just kept reading. She is still my favorite author.

    Good narrative style, develops characters separately, but weaves it all together in a masterful climax. Suspense keeps you turning yet another page to find out what comes next. Don't start this at bedtime if you have to get up early in the morning!

    I had all of Mary Higgins Clark books but as I moved houses several times, I ended up giving them away. For a book written so long ago now, it’s still a great read. You can’t put the book down it’s that good!
