This book was excellent! It's fast-paced, with lots of dialogue. Very refreshing! The author seamlessly tied in many different characters, and I kept making up theories of "who dunnit", but a chapter or two later, would be second-guessing myself. My mom reads a lot from Mary Higgins Clark, which is why I'd been reluctant to read one - I've considered them an "old person" book while growing up! This is my first book by her, and I'm really glad I became bored enough to read it, ha! - I'm sure I will go on to read more by her! ( )

This abridged audio book is my first encounter with this popular author. At 3 hrs, the abridged audio version is less than 1/3rd of the 11 hr original. Nevertheless, there are no noticeable gaps in the plot or storyline, and I found the story to be intriguing.

TV reporter Meghan Collins is covering a story at a local hospital when a young stabbing victim is rushed in on a stretcher. To her shock, the dead woman looks strikingly similar to Meghan herself. What's more, the victim seems to be linked to Meghan's father (Edward), who months earlier, apparently had been lost in a tragic accident. Edward had taken out the cash on his life insurance policy, and since his body was never found, it's not clear whether he had died or engineered his own disappearance. As Meghan investigates, she uncovers family secrets -- her father had a second family-- as well as a complex web of fraud and theft, involving a fertilization clinic and the sale of embryos produced via in vitro fertilization. Meanwhile, Meghan is being followed by an obsessed stalker with a video camera.

I found the story to be well-crafted and captivating, with red herrings that kept me from figuring out the assorted mysteries until the end. Narrator Ellen Parker does a decent job with the different character's voices. Overall, a worthwhile and entertaining listening experience. ( )

I'd never read anything by her before -- this was one of my mom's books. It was a pretty good story. The characters were a little 2-dimensional, but overall OK. ( )

I am not as big as fan of Mary Higgin Clark as i am of other but her books this one included do keep you on the edge of your seat. They have a bit more romance to them than i would like but if you like that then this is all for you.
