As Time Goes By by Mary Higgins Clark

3.0

My feelings about the book were kind of lukewarm, but I was ultimately satisfied with how it all came together. As Time Goes By is primarily a courtroom drama, and has a bit of a slower pace than I've come to expect from mystery and suspense. It does pick up a bit toward the end as new evidence comes to light at the eleventh hour before Betsy is sentenced. My favorite thing about the book was the way that three separate investigations all came together into one big denouement at the end, although their mere juxtaposition made some of the solutions a little predictable. There was also a fair amount of romance in the story, which usually I enjoy, but I didn't quite buy it in this case. Having Delaney enter a relationship with another investigative journalist was a great way to tie their two investigations together, but his sporadic declarations of love at first sight seemed a bit over the top for me.
