It was a good book, a little creepy but not to the extreme, a softer form of a thriller but a good book never the less

This was such a slow read, the ending was so anti-climatic. Honestly, this book was a waste of time.

"Ronald Thompson knows he never killed Nina Peterson... yet in two days the state of Connecticut will take his life, having found him guilty via due process of law. But Thompson's death will not stop the pain and anger of Nina's husband, Steve. Thompson's death will not still the fears of Nna's six-year-old son, Neil, witness to his mother's brutal slaying. Not even the love and friendship of Sharon Martin, a journalist who is slowly becoming a part of their world, will ever erase their bitter memories. Only time, perhaps, will heal their wounds. But in the shadows a stranger waits, a cunning psychopath who has killed before, who has unfinished business at the Peterson home..." (From Amazon)

One of my first novels my Mary Higgins Clark. I received a paperback copy for my birthday from a friend. A good suspense novel.

Consumed via audiobook. The cover summary had me expecting something different - the narration here jumps to many points of view but never Ronald's. Set in a world with no internet or cellphones and old -fashioned ideas about what women should and should not be doing, all of which was a bit startling/disorienting at times, causing me to frequently pause and recollect my bearings.

A good book with fair narration that kept me entertained for a weekend's worth of chores.
