When Laurie Moran's husband was brutally murdered, only three-year-old Timmy saw the face of his father's killer. Five years later, his piercing blue eyes still haunt Timmy's dreams. Laurie is haunted by more: the killer's threat to her son as he fled the scene: Tell your mother she's next, then it's your turn...

Another great Mary Higgins Clark mystery.
Always enjoy listening to her books- they may be formulaic, but I find comfort in that.
This one is more up-to-date than some of her others - cell phones and other technology etc.


Her books are Always a great read!

The story was a bit trite. The characters were one dimensional. A bit xenophobic? Also idk what kind of commentary she’s making about women who wear makeup but I don’t think it’s good.

I was feeling in the mood for an easy mystery detective read, and I know MHC is a well known author. However, I’m not much impressed with the writing.
