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 show more 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. show less

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.
A typical tale of mistaken identity and leading double lives. I was almost a little disappointed in this one. I've seen so much better by Clark.
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.
A SUSPENSEFUL MYSTERY INVOLVING A YOUNG TV REPORTER INVESTIGATING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A WOMAN WHO LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HER. FULL OF TWISTS, SECRETS, AND SIGNATURE CLARK THRILLS.
Another good one from Mary Higgins Clark. I like these cuz they're quick reads. I also like it when I don't quite have it figured out at the end. Surprise me!
