This book is good for readers who like lots of different povs. The mystery is well put together, but i feel that the reveal came out of left field. Personally, I felt it took a while for things to be revealed and had to put the book down a few times before I could be engaged enough to finish it.
The story very much felt like an episode of Law and Order. I had a little trouble connecting to the characters, especially when they mentioned the housekeepers that *only* came in twice a week, but enjoyed Kerry and Robin's characterizations a lot.

This was a very enjoyable suspenseful mystery. The author’s writing style and short chapters made this a very quick read that had me intrigued through the book. There were a lot of suspicious characters to follow in this mystery as well as plenty of twists and turns. If you are looking for a good suspenseful whodunnit read, you should consider trying this one.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark is a suspenseful mystery following a prosecutor digging up new clues on a long-ago murder.
I didn't like this one quite as much as I liked You Belong to Me but I still enjoyed it!
Mary Higgins Clark is just so good at writing clever plots.
Also, shout out to short chapters! One of the reasons I inhale her books so quickly is that the chapters are like eating potato chips.
I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the complimentary paperback edition. All opinions contained herein are my own.

This suspenseful mystery was hard to put down. Between the clever plot, cast of suspicious characters, and the intriguing murder investigation I was sucked in.
I love a book that has short chapters and this book bit that bill. Each chapter was about 1-4 pages long which made it completely bingeable. I was able to read large sections at a time with the mindset of “just one more chapter”.
If you like whodunit type mysteries that keep you guessing until the end consider picking this one up.

Even being MHC can't get her a round-up on this one. Boring. Nothing happened. Had one nice semi-twist at the end but seriously.

This is a great Clark novel! There wasn't one moment in this book that was boring. The plot was awesome and riveting. Definitely another great novel by Mary!

It started great but fell down halfway. The investigation was so slow and long while the confrontation only took a few chapters. It is still okay.
