Product Description
From Amazon
We'll Meet Again is filled with the ingredients that Mary Higgins Clark devotees will devour: fast-paced suspense, double-crossing villains, romantic intrigue, and a resounding showdown at the end. Harder to swallow is the excessive use of theatricals whenever the author describes a satanic like HMO, and its legion of evil doctors. The darkest knight of all is Peter Black, whose eyes "were cold, angry, menacing--certainly not the eyes of a healer." Still, melodrama aside, Higgins Clark still knows how to spin a good yarn.
Her heroine in We'll Meet Again is an investigative reporter named Fran Simmons, who is not unlike the bright, resourceful Dr. Susan Chandler in You Belong to Me. Fran has just been hired to work on a popular new TV show called True Crime. Coincidentally, her very first assignment involves an ex-pupil from her old high school, the posh Cranden Academy in Greenwich, Connecticut. Molly Lasch had been incarcerated in her mid-20s, accused of pulverizing her husband's head with a Remington bronze sculpture. The murder of this community doctor, and chief executive officer of a local HMO, stunned Greenwich.
For half a decade Molly claimed to have no memory of the event, but now out on parole, slivers of memory trickle back--and Molly informs the press that someone else was in the house at the time of her husband's murder. Few people believe her--even less so when a key witness from the original trial is stabbed to death and evidence links Molly to the scene of the crime. It's up to the ever vigilant Fran to investigate what the police won't--and she unearths some very dark and extremely dirty secrets that will further shock the quiet community. --Naomi Gesinger --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A Riveting Read,
By
This review is from: We'll Meet Again (Mass Market Paperback)
In We'll Meet Again, Molly Carpenter-Lasch is tried and convicted of killing her husband, beloved Dr. Gary Lasch. There's one problem though--Molly has no recollection of the events of that night. She awoke the morning after the murder to find herself covered in her dead husband's blood. A plea bargain gets her a shorter sentence and upon her release Molly declares on TV for the world to see that she didn't kill her husband but she will try to find out who did. Enter Fran Simmons, school chum whose father committed suicide for stealing money from the library fund. Fran is now an investigative reporter and Molly wants her to help her find the truth behind her husband's murder.This story was hard to get into but after it gets going it is well worth the time. There are a lot of characters involved which makes it at times very frustrating keeping them straight. I found myself going back to reread pages trying to keep them straightened out in my mind. The storyline is good, although a little confusing when speaking of the HMO's. The book is fast-paced after about page 100. I found myself not really enjoying the book until I had passed the 100 page milestone. Then it becomes so good I couldn't think of not finishing it. And I must say the culprit was NOT who I thought it would be. We'll Meet Again is a book well worth reading. Just keep in mind you need to get past the somewhat boring beginning to truly enjoy it. Although not one of my favorite Mary Higgins Clark books one enjoyable to read.

Well Plotted Mystery that will Keep You Guessing,
By Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We'll Meet Again (Mass Market Paperback)
Investigative reporter Fran Simmons has decided to do a follow up story on a local murder. Molly Lasch just spent five and a half years in prison for killing her husband. However, even after serving her time she still swears she is innocent and she wants to find the real killer, even if it means talking to the woman who had been her husband's mistress. Then said mistress is found stabbed to death and Molly is implicated in her murder.Molly's husband had been the CEO of the local HMO at the time of his death. DR. Peter Black, one of his partners, still practices at the hospital and several patients have died mysteriously and it looks like he might be involved. Lots of stuff going on in this well plotted mystery. MHC always delivers and she always keeps you guessing. Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Mysterious!!,
By Lillian (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We'll Meet Again (Mass Market Paperback)
I recently read "We'll Meet Again", by Mary Higgins Clark. It is a mystery that is 283 pages. Dr. Gary Lacsh is murdered one night and everybody suspects that his own wife killed him. The only problem is that his wife claims that she has no memory of that night. She vaguely remembers that someone else was in the house. Did she really murder him?Mary Higgins Clark was born on December 24, 1929. She was raised in New York. She studied in the Fordham University in 1974. She recieved a BA in philosophy. Her success is due in large part to her likeable characters. She published the book "We'll Meet Again" in 1999. This book was a great suspense story that got me interested from the first page to the last page. Once I got to know the characters, I felt I was in the court room watching the case with my own eyes. The story had very suspenseful details that twist and turn the story. Clark is very good at describing the character in detial that you start to feel that you are in their heads. Every sentence is important to the case and i felt as if I was investigating. If you like mysteries and stories that will keep you on the edge of you seat, then this is the book for you.
