This book was… not great. It’s not bad, but it’s not good. It takes a long time to really get into the plot. The writing is rough, very cliche filled. It’s a fine quick mystery if you want some to just distract you but not to really grip you. I like mysteries that are puzzles, working for suspense not surprise, and this is certainly going for surprise.

I like to give a series a couple of books to settle in, but I'm all done with this one. I think it's a shame that Mary Higgins Clark appears to be taking lessons from James Patterson - churning out books for the book mill. Quite a disappointment.

Haven't read a MHC mystery in years. I enjoyed this and settled back into the style and quick to move along plot she does so well. If her co-writer is anything like her I am planning to check out some Alafair Burke mysteries the next time I'm at the libray.

I really enjoy this series of books. The characters were interesting, the mystery was engaging, and it was a nice, light, quick read.

Adding new authors to my list of favorites is one of the exciting aspects of my life. More people on the list means more satisfying reads and less disappointment, especially if I’ve “discovered” an author who is a few books into a series because I have to catch up.
But sometimes I don’t want excitement. Sometimes I want to be in my most comfy pjs with my favorite tea and a warm blanket around my shoulders reading an author I know will deliver.
That’s Mary Higgins Clark. Reading her – after finding so many new people to read – is like coming home.
“All Dressed in White” is the second book in her “Under Suspicion” series written with Alafair Burke.
“Under Suspicion” is a TV show that’s something like a cross between “Unsolved Mysteries” and “Dateline.” Laurie Moran is the producer and, when the mother of the media-dubbed Runaway Bride shows up in her office, she’s intrigued but not quite sure the case fits their criteria. The show needs a crime to solve, not a search for a young woman with cold feet.
The mom eventually does convince Laurie that the case would be perfect for the show – after Laurie does a little sleuthing on her own.
During the filming of the show almost the entire wedding party – especially the almost-groom – and a photographer are considered suspects at one time or another. And for good reasons, not some contrived plot mover.
“I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough” has become such a cliché in book reviews but – I’m tellin’ ya! – the last hundred or so pages were enthralling and I couldn’t turn them fast enough.
After 40 years, Mary Higgins Clark has still got it.

The ending of this third book in the Under Suspicion series came out of left field... but it was still a ful read.

I enjoyed this book a lot. However, it doesn't have that MHC feel to it. I know that she has a co-writer here, but I feel like we are getting more of her voice than Clark's. Again it was good, but I miss the feeling that I used to get reading MHC's books.
