Somewhat predictable plot, but details and action of the kidnapping and resoltion were engaging.

Okay so I read this book in 10th grade English class and it took me years and years to find this book again. I ended up needing to find my English teacher on Facebook and ask her for the title. I'm amazed we were allowed to read this in school, but it still holds up well and is suspenseful ( )

Story about a maniac who kidnaps a pretty journalist (Sharon Martin) and a young boy (Neil Peterson, son of the man Sharon is dating) and hides them in an old, isolated room underneath Grand Central Station. Also, a young man is facing the electric chair for a crime he may not have committed. Are these two cases connected?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a fast-paced and exciting read with many characters points-of-view and tense situations. I had a hard time putting this book down. Another very entertaining read by Mary Higgins Clark. ( )

A nice book. Great in-between read. Interesting, exciting and with a happy ending. Nothing less (or more) than I expected when I started to read. ( )
