I'll Be Seeing You by Mary Higgins Clark
3.0
Summer’s the perfect time to try recommended authors. After finishing my first Grisham last week, I thought Mary Higgins Clark was the next logical step in my exploration of well-known favorites. My grandmother loves both authors, having read all of their books countless times. My first Higgins Clark did not disappoint. I’ll Be Seeing You makes for light reading, despite its suspense, and it’s beach-y fun.
I don’t want to give too much of the plot away, as its surprisingly full of twists and turns. Meghan, a former lawyer turned journalist, is still grieving the shocking death of her father, who died in a bridge accident. When Meghan’s given a new assignment of the murder of a young 20-something, she comes face-to-face with the victim who could be her clone (a la Orphan Black!). She’s never met her, and the police begin to start asking questions. They think her father could still be alive. Meghan’s life gets stranger when she receives a fax that tells her Annie was a mistake. Who is this Annie? And who really was Meghan’s father?
Clearly Mary Higgens Clark put a lot of research and thought into this book, as it covers amazing details about genetics and its roles in biology and psychology. She introduces many characters, and at times, the plot gets convoluted. Its ending, though satisfying in tying up most plot points, feels hurried. Overall, I’ll Be Seeing You is no great work of literature, but it makes for quick and addictive reading.
