By halfway through the book I was pretty certain which guy was the bad guy and which ones were just red herrings. Though I was a bit sad that the bad guy was who he was, because I liked the character. (  )miyurose | Dec 13, 2008 |   You belong to Me by Mary Higgins Clark is about Dr. Susan Chandler who is a clinical psychologist and also has a slot called Ask Dr Susan on a popular radio station. On one of these shows Susan has a guest: Dr Donald Richards who has lost his wife and written a book called Vanishing Women and this discussion finds them talking about Regina a lady who disappeared off a cruise ship; this leads to another lady, Carolyn, who calls into the show and states she had befriended a man on a cruise ship. Following on from this call she states she will send Susan the ring this man gave her with the inscription; “You Belong To Me” and also a photo. Before this can happen she is run over by a van and ends up in a coma in hospital. Death then follows death in this fast paced novel. I did enjoy this novel to a degree and it was a very quick read and had me wanting to know what was going to happen next. It tries to confuse you over who was the really bad guy, but I think most people will see who he is quite quickly. Even though I enjoyed the thriller I found a problem with the characters in the book, as they all appeared very flat, cold and dull and I couldn’t warm to any of them. It isn’t one of my favorite thrillers, but if you find it on your TBR pile it’s good for a quick read. Review here: http://bookannelid.wordpress.com/2008... ( )loopyloo100 | Jul 31, 2008 | this book makes you not what to put it down. the susence will make yopu feel as if you were the charater in her book.its about this man who buys rings for this loved ones and inscribes them with " you belong to me" that he take them out on a trip or a cruiz and everntually kills them. He win them over with jewlery and gifts to make them not suspect anything. (  )nm.fall07.m.rodrigue | Mar 3, 2008 | Very interesting mystery. I know I say that for a lot of her books, but it’s true. However they mostly all follow the same pattern, so it’s rather hard to discern a difference base on that. They all have very different ideas and characters, but the plot, in the end, is always very similar. (  )bookwitch24 | Jan 28, 2008 | I've seen her name on so many books I thought I'd give her a try, and this was the one I bought. I can't in good conscience recommend it at all. It made me wonder just how it is she's sold millions of copies of her books if this is representative. The characters were flat and uninteresting, the plot was perhaps believable but forced, and the ending was contrived. Oddly enough, I found Clark's daughter's (Carol Higgins Clark) Regan Reilly books far more interesting. They're amusing fluff, unlike You Belong to Me.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0671004549, Mass Market Paperback)Much like the real-life Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Dr. Susan Chandler, the star of You Belong to Me, is a clinical psychologist who hosts a call-in radio show. She's bright, sharp-tongued, and even has "shoulder-length dark blonde hair." Fortunately for Dr. Laura, the similarities end there. During an episode of Ask Dr. Susan, Chandler unwittingly gets herself tangled in the web of a dangerous serial killer. It begins innocently enough when Chandler invites Dr. Donald Richards, a criminologist/psychiatrist/author to talk about his book, Vanishing Women and the plight of lonely women who are preyed upon by calculating killers. Chandler is particularly interested in the disappearance of woman named Regina Clausen, a high-profile investment advisor who vanished on a luxury cruise. Chandler feels indebted to Clausen--an investing tip she offered on CNBC turned a modest birthday check into a "bonanza"--so the good doctor uses her radio forum to help crack the case. Sure enough, during the last moments of the show, a nervous, married woman who goes by the name "Karen" calls in with invaluable clues. Apparently, she was almost a victim and can identify the murderer, but is frightened to come forward because of an insanely jealous husband. As Dr. Susan pursues her timid witness and digs deeper into the case, she realizes a hair too late that she is also one of the hunted. The fast-moving story line and easily digestible plot of You Belong to Me is vintage Mary Higgins Clark. --Rebekah Warren(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
