I found this little gem at a used bookstore. Written in 1987, it's one of Mary Higgins Clark's older novels. It wasn't one of my favorite Clark novels. However, it was still a good read. The characters were diverse and interesting enough. The plot was intriguing and offered some turns and twists throughout. There were enough hints given, that it was easy enough to figure out who the murderer was. Just a clean, offensive-free story that we all need sometimes. If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, this older novel might be something that you will enjoy.

Murder and mystery in a posh seaside spa! This thrilling and suspenseful tale was filled with fascinating characters who perfectly carried plausible plot twists to a happy ending. The setting, an upscale beauty and health spa on the lovely secluded coast of Carmel, lent this book a gothic feel. The rich and famous clients gave it a Hollywood feel. Well-written and entertaining, this book was a delicious mix of Jackie Collins and Nora Roberts.
This author knows how to write mystery stories strictly about the characters and not about sexual scenes. Even though I read this book 20 yrs ago, it still held my interest. Remembering some of the ending caused me to enjoy the personalities of the spa owners and the lottery winning visitor, Alvirah. I like how so many people are part of the mystery while adding to the story line.
This was Mom's book; she had several by Mary Higgins Clark. I'd read one a long time ago and it wasn't my style. Decided to give it another try while cataloging Mom's books and it was OK. Still not my style, so don't consider my lackluster opinion a strong mark against it.
A quick read, moderately interesting plot. The main characters didn't appeal to me. (The hero is rich and handsome. Yawn.) If you're looking for something light and entertaining this might fit the bill.
