Wow!, Jul 17 2004
By A Customer
I just read this book again after reading it real long ago...I thought it was boring then...but it kept me reading so diligently until the end this time because I forgot who was the killer. At one pivotal point I found myself going "Ohhhhh!!...", thinking I knew who it was, and then discovering I was right when the identity was finally revealed...making me shake my head, thinking it was so easy, I should have picked up on it sooner...if you're looking to read a Mary Higgins Clark book, I don't see how you could go wrong with this one.
