Listened to the audiobook. Realized that the foreshadowing is meant to mislead you so the ending is more of a twist. Still enjoyed Clark’s book though!

I'm a huge fan of Mary Higgins Clark. Always have been. This was a great story, with a great mystery. Now, I've never read a book she's written with Alafair Burke before. Perhaps that's the reason this book was hard to read at times, I'm not sure. But I found that when a character had a 'thought' the writing would go from third to first person in the same paragraph. It was very jarring and frustrating. It threw me the first time I came across it and I had to re-read it at first. I'm not a fan of that at all. It made it difficult to read at times. Other than that, I enjoyed the plot and the storyline.

empecé el libro y me re atrapo, creo que lei mas de la mitad la primera noche, después se fue poniendo más aburrido, a pesar de que los protagonistas están bien definidos, la trama esta buena pero el final muy forzado y muy mal cerrado para mi gusto

3.5- Yet another killer who explains things to an intended victim. At least the offender was a little harder to guess this time. I am still concerned about the length of time between episodes of this show, though at least some bigwigs in the book are starting to acknowledge this is a serious issue as well.
Side note- why are some books in the series named after song lyrics and others on the name attached to the case? Pick a lane.

This is a fine read for a series book that someone is following, but I haven't read any other books in the series and this one just had way to many characters for me. Plus, spoiler alert the clues aren't given for the actual murderer and I am a giant fan of being able to figure it out on my own. The lack of clues fits the setting of the story, but it's just not my thing.

I've heard great things about both Mary Higgins Clark AND Alafair Burke, and when I saw this new item (something I could check off my 2016 Reading Challenge list--namely, "an item published this year"), I jumped at the chance to read it!
I really loved the premise of this story--it's about a gal who is a TV Program producer, who specializes in bringing cold cases to light and attempting to solve them on video. This is the second in a series, but it didn't seem to hurt me, not having read the first one. There are obviously characters that had been introduced before, but they were reintroduced in such a way that it didn't seem redundant to me. (It's important to me, when I jump into the middle of a series, to be able to pick it up without feeling like I've missed anything; but I also don't want to feel like I'm being patronized by the author striving hard to bring me up to speed--this book was the perfect balance, in that respect.)
