Work detailsLove Music, Loves to Dance by Mary Higgins Clark (1951)
None. A chilling tale about a murderer that loves to dance and take his victims with him. Once he picks his victims, he puts them in dancing shoes so they can't run away, then keeps one of the shoes a souvenir. I started this book in junior high right before the end of school so didn't get to finish it until years later. I'm glad I finally did because it was an excellent read. (  ) midkid88 | Aug 6, 2012 |  Although supposedly the “queen of suspense,” Mary Higgins Clark is an amateurish, uninteresting writer to anyone used to meatier books. She writes like a B-grade romance novelist and is sometimes so lazy that she doesn’t even complete her sentences. Her characters are two-dimensional paper cutouts, her plots hold no surprises but plenty of unbelievable coincidences, and everyone falls in love at the end. Unless you're a fan of dime-store romances and want to read one with a serial killer (but no sex, unfortunately), I’d recommend that you avoid this novel and everything else in Clark’s too-considerable oeuvre. (  ) sturlington | Feb 25, 2012 | This was suggested to me by an eBay bookseller. The book was a lot better than the first 2 books I read by Clark. There were too many suspects but they seem too obvious. Picked out the killer about midway to the book, but I kept going because I wanted to know if I was right. I was. Still, a good read. jaypee | Aug 3, 2011 | I believe this is Mary Higgins Clark's best book. It draws you in and you can't let go. You'll stay up all night reading it and then have a hard time sleeping. A man was shunned as a teenager by a girl who loved to dance and then becomes a serial killer. A personal ad that says loves music, loves to dance is a draw for his victims. A young woman named Darcy investigates the personals and why people do them, pulling her into the range of this murderer. nolak | Jul 1, 2009 | This book alerted me to this author a number of years ago and have read most of her books since then. Being a 'thriller' book lover, this was a book that kept me enthralled. (  ) suetan | May 15, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
