Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A tinge of the supernatural flavors the latest entry from our leading practitioner of the damsel-in-distress school of suspense. Just what is the mysterious presence that seems to haunt Menley Nichols and baby Hannah in their spectacular rented Cape Cod mansion? Menley is still trying to recover from the horror of her two-year-old son Bobby's death on the railroad crossing. Lawyer husband Adam is too busy dashing to and from New York, and defending a local hunk suspected of doing away with his wealthy bride, to be much help. And so the presence moves in on Menley, Rebecca style, with eerie middle-of-the-night sound effects and rocking cradles. As always with Clark, there are several plots going on at once, which are miraculously blended and resolved in the finale; people to watch out for here include a pretty waitress in a local inn and a real estate lady who is an old flame of Adam's. Clark opens herself to charges of excessive authorial legerdemain by employing many narrative points of view, including those of at least two guilty parties (without ever offering a clue as to their guilt), but that's a quibble. The denouement is reasonably pulse-pounding, if a little strained. All in all, it's a reliable enough outing for the countless Clark aficionados, though it seems, perhaps in sync with its historic setting, rather more old-fashioned than usual. 750,000 first printing; Literary Guild main selection; S & S audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remember Me, July 2 2006

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Remember Me (Mass Market Paperback)
Menley Nichols, the author of a popular historical fiction novel series for children, and her husband, a handsome and successful lawyer named Adam, have been having marriage difficulties lately. As Menley struggles to recover from the horrific death of her two-year-old baby son Bobby at a railroad crossing a few years ago, she begins to suffer from horribly vivid flashbacks and frightening anxiety attacks. But soon after they decided it would be better if they became separated, Menley discovered she was pregnant, and their marriage began succeeding once again.

It is now the summer, and Menley has given birth to a beautiful baby three-month-old daughter named Hannah. In order to perhaps help take some anxiety off of Menley's mind, in the hopes of not having another nervous breakdown, Adam decides to take Menley and Hannah on a summer-long vacation to where he spent his own wonderful childhood summers, in Cape Cod, in the historic on-the-sea Remember House, first built in 1703, recommended to Adam by Elaine Atkins, a prosperous real-estate agent with her own realty agency and Adam's long-time friend. Adam and Menley discover that they both love the historical beauty of Remember House, and also find that Hannah enjoys Remember House, as well.

But soon the tranquil summertime mood of Cape Cod is broken by the death of Vivian Carpenter-Covey, the extremely wealthy wife of a relatively poor---when compared to Vivian---but movie-star handsome husband, Scott Covey. The Carpenters were always a family of much opulence, but Vivian did not fulfill her parents expectations by being kicked out of boarding school, experimenting briefly with drugs, and not attending college. But her trust fund contains over five million dollars. Vivian's death while scuba diving near her boat, where Scott had fallen asleep, was presumed to be drowning in the fierce storm that followed. But Vivian's very tight-fitting precious five-carat emerald ring is missing, and it could not have fallen off. Was Vivian's death truly a terrible accidental drowning?

As Menley begins researching for her historical children's novel, to take place in Cape Cod during the early 1700s, Menley receives excellent research of Phoebe Sprague---the once intellectual historian now suffering from early signs of Alzheimer's---from Henry, Phoebe's loving husband, Menley discovers the story of Captain Andrew Freeman, husband of young Mehitabel Freeman, who supposedly had an affair with Tobias Knight, Remember House's builder, though Mehitabel vehemently denied committing adultery with Tobias. Thus, Mehitabel was publicly whipped and humiliated, and Andrew took away Mehitabel's baby.

Adam and Menley's enjoyable summer vacation becomes sour when Menley hears the sound of a roaring train thundering throughout the house at night when Adam is away in New York. In the dead of night, Menley likewise also hears the pleading cries of Bobby, screaming "Mommy, Mommy." Menley begins suffering from worsening nervous breakdowns and anxiety attacks and vivid nightmares. Adam becomes so worried he think he may need to have Menley hospitalized. But Menley knows that is not going insane, for Hannah hears the sounds at night, as well. Can Menley prove her sanity to Adam before it is too late?

In this tale, Mary Higgins Clark has written definitely one of my favorite suspense novels of hers. Perhaps the reason I found it so enjoyable and such an excellent page-turner is because the story was ingeniously flavored with tinges of historical and supernatural aspects. Menley was a great protagonist, and the readers will really feel for her as she attempts to convince Adam that she is not going insane. The dramatic climax at the end of the story will surely surprise you, and as you turn the final page, you will be fully satisfied, thus becoming magically mesmerized and enchanted with Mary Higgins Clark's writing, like so many others are.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, April 17 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Remember Me (Mass Market Paperback)
Remember Me is a great book by MHC. It is one of her best (but then, I"m a huge MHC fan, so they're all great.) It has a lot of suspense in it, although the murder aspect wasn't played out as much as it could have been. The only complaint I have is the names! Menley, to name one, doesn't really do justice to the character. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think of a strong, heroic, independent young woman when I hear the name Menley. But other than that, this is a great book! Once you have finished this one, some other good MHC books are All Around the Town; Loves Music, Loves to Dance; While My Pretty One Sleeps; Daddy's Little Girl; Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and I'll Be Seeing You.
