A review by catieohjoy
All By Myself, Alone by Mary Higgins Clark

2.0

I borrowed this from the library on a whim—I've never read Mary Higgins Clark, and it wasn't until I was halfway through and went to add the book on Goodreads that I realized this is part of a series. I enjoyed the claustrophobic cruise ship setting and the relationship between Alvirah and Willie, but that's about it. The writing is simplistic, most of the characters feel more like caricatures, and the plot twists were predictable. I really wanted to like this, but it wasn't worth the 5 or so hours it took to read. I see that many reviewers enjoyed Mary Higgins Clark's earlier novels much more, so I'll check one of those out before writing her off completely.
