Title: Thoughts of a former fan....
Review: I must admit, at the age of 13, I devoured everything by Mary Higgins Clark. I was thankful that I had perfected faking sick, because I would read her books all through the night. I would check out as many as I could carry from the library, and be beside myself choosing which gem would be first.And here I am, seven years later. I picked this up on a whim, thinking I could once again revel in her words. Alas, you cannot go home.Based on a weak and obvious plot, "We'll meet again" hobbles along with characters that are dry and two-dimensional. The heroine (?) is shallow, weak, and defenseless, the plot extreme and unrealistic. The clues don't fit together in the seamless way that MHC used to carefully craft. I would suggest reading some of her earlier works (not "Where are the Children?").To her credit, MHC adds a touch of class with her careful mention of brand names.Recommendation: Read something earlier of hers.
