This book felt like inception.

I've Got You Under My Skin (Under Suspicion #1)
by Mary Higgins Clark, Alafair Burke
mysterious tense slow-paced

Another well written book by Mary Higgins Clark.

If I never pick up another Higgins Clark book it will be too soon. Bland predictable writing. Too many parts of the book are just ridiculous. Lacklustre.

I read this for the bookclub with my Grandma. As far as audiobooks go, it is a great listen for someone with divided attention because they repeat every detail at least 15 times. Think of the song, "The Rattlin' Bog," but as a cozy lil murder mystery.

The writing lacks substance, but the plot is interesting enough, the narrator's performance is enjoyable, and Grandma LOVES it, so that's good enough for me.

I've been a fan since A STRANGER IS WATCHING and will always buy a new release from Mary Higgins Clark. No matter what. This one has an interesting premise and I wonder if we'll see the main character again. While I thought the conclusion was a bit rushed it was still a satisfactory ending.

Laurie Moran has never felt safe after her husband Greg was shot and killed in a local park whilst playing with their four year old son, Timmy. The killer who got away was named "Blue Eyes" by Timmy.

Whilst Laurie is heavily involved with her workplace at the TV station her father, Leo a retired police officer helps out with Timmy whenever he can. Knowing that "Blue Eyes" is still out there somewhere is unnerving, particularly when the last words he said were that Laurie and Timmy would be next.

I've Got You Under My Skin was a thriller that had me guessing till the end. Fans of Mary Higgins Clark will no doubt enjoy this book just as I did. Recommended.
