This is the brand new spine-tingling thriller from the world's favorite thriller writer. Dr. Jonathan Lyons, a well-respected academic, has a stroke of luck when a previously missing ancient artefact - a highly valuable parchment - falls into his hands. Stolen from the Vatican in the fifteenth century, it was assumed to be lost forever - until now. Unsure of his next move, Dr. Lyons shares his discovery with a select few but, with so much money at stake, can he trust the people he's told? Things take a turn for the worse when Jonathan is found brutally murdered in his own home. Then, as secrets in his personal life come to light, his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer's, is soon implicated. It now falls to the couple's 27-year-old daughter, Mariah, to uncover the true motive behind her father's death. But the tangled web of secrets has spread much further than she knows. With someone still hell-bent on getting hold of the priceless document, will Mariah succeed in finding justice for both her father and her mother without putting her own life in terrible danger?

MHC needs to stay in her own realm and not capitalize on deVinci codes success. I'm disappointed that I won't be reading another Mary Higgins Clark this year. I'll have to wait another year to see if she can deliver another classic MHC.

I did enjoy reading this book. It wasn't as good as her other books, it dragged in places and it didn't keep me up all night reading. I figured out who the killer was about half way through which I never used to be able to do in a Mary Higgins Clark book. I thought she did a great job describing a person with Alzheimers. As someone who works in a nursing home with people who have various forms of dementia I have seen residents act out in ways similar to Kathleen and then just as quickly revert back to being calm and quiet in minutes as though the outburst never happened. Alvirah and Willy make an appearance, they were good at the beginning of the book but got a bit annoying as the book went on since there's no way the police would ever let a private citizen get as involved in a criminal investigation as she did. But still it was enjoyable and helped to pass the time however it was easy to put it down and go do something else so it wasn't one of her best.

Disappointing plot - few surprises and an obvious villain. Not at all a "keep turning pages because I can't put it down" book that one expects from Mary Higgins Clark. Neither Alvirah and Willy's nor Mariah's roles in the story were well-developed.
