From the back cover:
It's a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeon's office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughter's scars will heal, she spies a familiar looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of deja vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting face - on another woman - she has an intense flash of recognition: it's the face of Suzanne Reardon, the "Sweetheart Murder" victim, killed more than ten years ago! The case resulted in a guilty verdict and life sentence for Suzanne's husband, Skip. But what possible reason would Dr. Smith be giving his patients the face of a dead woman?
As Kerry immerses herself in a fresh investigation, she is catapulted into the strange and ominous territory of those so obsessed with beauty they'll kill for it. Each new piece of evidence she unearths reveals a disturbing cache of questions. Not only does everyone involved want to keep the case closed, it's clear somebody will stop at nothing to keep it sealed forever. As she delves deeper she finds she's wrestling with a force so sinister that her own life - and her daughter's - is threatened with increasing peril....

All I can say is that I tried to read this book got to page 85 and realized that it was more of a chore than an enjoyment.
There is nothing that I can really point to for a reason that I don't really like this one. It just is not my type of story .... maybe it is moving too slow for me. I am tempted to skip to the back of the book just to find out what happens though.
I am sure that there are others out there that will enjoy this book. I know that Mary Higgins Clark is a very popular author but this book is just not for me.

I got this in the mail yesterday, and I have read it already. It was a good book, but a little predictable.
