Mary Higgins Clark never fails to excite. I finished the book of over 300 pages in 2 days-- over half in a few hours. I loved the plot and I could not put the book down.
If I have any complaints, it is the number of characters. I am awful with names, so when a book has close to 50 characters, things get jumbled in my mind. For instance, it was difficult to keep Tom and Tim separate. The number of characters also led to my inability to fully enjoy the resolution of the novel. When the murderer was revealed, I had to pause for a good 10 minutes to recall who the person even was. I know the majority of that is my fault.. hence the high rating. I just wish her books came with a character list!
Congratulations, Clark! You have mastered the classic mystery. Every character is suspicious, but not to the point of being unrealistic. This ending actually made me gasp. I also have the author to thank for my nonexistent nails. The book is so nerve wracking, I couldn't keep my fingers out of my mouth. Avid mystery readers and that-one-type-of-person-who-can-remember-every-guest-and-newcomer's-name... enjoy
