I read this book in two formats: paperback and audiobook
About the paperback... Loved this book!!
About the audiobook... I often listen to audiobooks before I go to sleep and I found myself trying very hard to stay awake to listen to this. Not good for the job performance the next day, but worth it.

Too obvious - stopped about 1/4 through. Let me guess -- his boat blows up, and either he dies, or he fakes his death. Yes? Blah.

This book has been in a box in my garage for a very long time and I'm glad I finally read it. It was really good. There were a few twists that I didn't see coming and I love it when that happens.

I had a feeling I’d read this previously, and when I started reading, it really did seem very familiar. However, I couldn’t remember enough to recall who the culprit was (and perhaps I put the book aside without finishing previously), so I kept reading! I used to love Mary Higgins Clark, but as I was reading this one, I did feel like it was a bit…ordinary. Certain things bugged me about the book, and it seemed to take me longer than I would have expected, considering its length - possibly because I wasn’t very interested.
This book is over 15 years old, and I know Mary Higgins Clark is still writing, so it makes me wonder how I’d feel about her more recent works. I may give one of them a try, but not for a while yet. 2.5★

Nell McDermot is devastated when her husband's cabin cruiser blows up. Not only is she shattered by Adam's sudden death, but she is wracked with guilt, because the last time Nell saw Adam alive, she told him to leave and never come back.
