I enjoyed the story, but I felt the ending was a little rushed.
My first Mary Higgins Clark book. My Aunt gave us a bunch of them, and so I decided that I had to at least read one. It was suspenseful, and I can see why some women stay up all night reading these kind of books. I don't think that they are my cup of tea. The story-line may have been good, but there is not much else there in a literary sense. Kind of one of those quick read trash novels.
I stayed up until 1:30 last night to finish this book. Again the suspense is high as the plot revolves around a kidnapping and a bomb in Grand Central Station in New York. The story focuses on the issue of the death penalty. Steve Peterson's wife was murdered while her young son Neil watched. A seventeen year old boy was accused and despite pleas of innocence he is set to die in the electric chair in days. Now Steve has a new love in his life Sharon, who opposes capital punishment. As a snow storm begins to rage Sharon and Neil are kidnapped and held in an isolated room at the station with a bomb ticking. Soon the race is on to see if Sharon, Neil, the innocent teen on death row and the busiest station in New York can be saved. Again the suspense and tension is cranked up to 100, as the bomb ticks down and the race is on to stop an evil plot. Again what a book. I stayed up way later than I should have but I have no regrets it was that good.
n two days time, the state of Connecticut is to take the life of teenager, Ronald Thompson - found guilty of the murder of Nina Peterson two years before. His death will not stop the pain and anger of Nina's husband..
