Book Description

May 1 1998
Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers' spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder -- and to the dying words of the victim.... The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal -- which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It's an impulse that later proves nearly fatal.

Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date -- until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who's behind the deaths of the two women -- before she's the next casualty.

At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don't See Her is the "mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.

Product Description

From Amazon

Lacey Farrell, the heroine of Mary Higgins Clark's 15th novel, is having a bit of an identity crisis. While working as a real estate agent in New York, Lacey witnessed a client's murder, and now she's in hiding with a new name and a new life. But changing her identity doesn't completely remove Lacey from the web of danger and deceit that surrounds the crime; new clues keep popping up that suggest some kind of link between Lacey's family and the murder. Meanwhile, a new man comes into the heroine's life, further complicating an already murky situation. As any fan will tell you, Mary Higgins Clark never fails to deliver plot twists and turns that are as unexpected as they are thrilling. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was ok July 16 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is my first Mary Higgins- Clark book, and I did not find it that great. I liked how she developed Lacey's character, but the so called romance betwwen her and Tom was nonexistent. Also I thought that there would be a more important reason for the murders of Heather, Isabelle and Max. Personally, I found it a bit dry. Although, I was not fascinated by this book, I will try another Higgins-Clark book!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't Pretend You Don't See Suspense Here May 19 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Pretend You Don't See Her" is a typical Mary Higgins Clark novel about a beautiful, well-off young woman from East Coast who suddenly finds herself in a death peril but getting through this ultimately stressful part of her life, she even finds a MR. RIGHT in the process. Clark is easy to read for a non-native speaker like myself and fans of classic ol' stories like those penned by Agatha Christie should like her books, as the plot usually teems with many potential villains. However, the actual killer often hails from a circle close to the heroine (or her family), which at times renders the stories less believable, but more satisfying for mystery lovers.

This time (apart from a story which formally resembles any of Clark's detective novels like an egg resembles another egg), a reader has a chance to find out how such a thing as witness protection program works, in which a person (the heroine, realtor Lacey Farrell from New York) is given a whole new identity from the police in order to be protected from threatening deadly harm.

Despite some false clues Clark deliberately scatters throughout the story, "Pretend You Don't See Her" ranks among her most satisfying detective novels, along with "While My Pretty One Sleeps" and "Remember Me". But my personal favourite by her still remains "A Stranger Is Watching", a tale more psychological than detective, where a murderer is known from the beginning but that does not diminish the suspense. There, Clark got close to the best works of the queen of British psychology-crime fiction, Ruth Rendell.

2.0 out of 5 stars What? April 13 2004
By Ryan
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was very disappointed in this book. I usually enjoy Clark's novels, but this one was sort of a drag. It had a weak plot with even weaker characters. The romance aspect between Lacey and Tom seemed very forced. I wasn't engulfed but the story and plot like many of Clark's novels have done to me. I suggest All Around the Town. I found that novel much more interesting. This book was just dull. Nothing spectacular. Predictable, and very longwinded. I do not recommend this book.
