You Belong to Me by Mary Higgins Clark

June26

I enjoy reading Mary Higgins Clark. The stories are always similar…a young woman, intelligent, wealthy, and beautiful, has spent years recovering from tragedy only to be caught in the middle of suspenseful and tragic circumstances. But no matter what, I’m always a little shocked by ‘who did it’ in the end. In You Belong to Me, Dr. Susan Chandler, a lawyer-turned-psychologist, finds evidence in the two-year-old disappearance of a woman via her radio show. When everyone who Dr. Susan receives tips from turns up murdered, it’s up to her to find the killer and save herself in the process. Sound familiar? You must have read another MHC novel. So what?!? It’s still suspenseful, and I enjoy every one of her books that I’ve read.


“Even though the potential risk was slight, since all the credentials for Owen Adams were untraceable to him, he couldn’t afford to let it go that far. The real danger was the Carolyn had recognized him, and if she recovered then there was no telling what could happen. They could conceivably meet at a cocktail party or in a restaurant. New York was a big city, but circles overlapped and paths crossed. Anything was possible.
Of course, as long as she was in a coma she posed no immediate danger. The real danger might be Tiffany, the girl who had called in to Dr. Susan Chandler’s program today…she had to be silenced. Tomorrow he would find a way to learn from Susan Chandler if this Tiffany person had sent the ring, and if so, what she had written to accompany it.
Another feather in the wind, he thought. When would it end? One thing for certain. By next week, Susan Chandler must be stopped.”

    Amber is smart. This is a good book. I am not done reading it quite yet. I’ll let you know what I think of it when I’m done. Do you know there’s this guy on my bus that reads the first third of the book – then if he likes it he skips and reads the ending. If he thinks the ending is good enough he’ll read the middle part. He says there’s no use wasting good time on a lousey book.
