SubscribeWhere Are You Now? – Mary Higgins Clark
What would you do if your brother disappeared 10 years ago and only calls every year on Mother’s Day? Carolyn MacKenzie is tired of living with the constant question of her brother’s disappearance and she’s ready to do something about it.
I’ve never read a MHC book that I didn’t like. I will never forget my first… the hardback version of Remember Me, the summer I was 16 and the binding got wet at the pool and stained my beach towel. Since then I have read everything she has written and continue to look forward to her next novel.
This novel has everything we’ve come to expect from MHC; it has two mysteries and a never ending cast of characters to confuse you. Keeping up with the many characters is one of the major tasks to MHC novel; with whole chapters that can take only one page, jumping from one person’s thoughts to another can get confusing. It defiantly works at keeping you from guessing the outcome. As for the two mysteries, MHC deeps us on our toes, not only do you have to figure out who is behind the crime, but also who will the main female character fall in love with. I think that is how MHC appeals to so many women, I personally don’t want to read a romance novel, but MHC adds one or two pages at the end to get the “happily ever after” fairly tale quality that so many of us are looking for.
All in all an excellent novel by MHC; she has the winning formula: crime thriller with just a little romance. Even though I know what to expect as far as the style, the crimes are always fresh, new and a little twisted. Wonder how long we’ll have to wait for her next thriller?
