Summary: Satisfying mystery
Comment: There's something infinitely satisfying about turning the last page of a good mystery novel and sighing in satisfaction. Mary Higgins Clark's PRETEND YOU DON'T SEE HER offers exactly this kind of contentment.
Lacey Farrell has a job she enjoys, selling real estate in her beloved New York City. When the apartment of a singer who had died in a car accident is put on the market, Lacey is glad for the opportunity to sell it. After all, it's in a great part of Manhattan, the asking price is six hundred thousand dollars, and it's sure to earn her a decent commission. She becomes friends with the late singer's mother, and one night as she goes to pay her a visit, she also unwillingly becomes a witness to her murder. Unfortunately, the killer sees Lacey as well, and she's then forced to join the witness protection program, where she struggles to make a new life for herself, constantly watching over her shoulder on the off-chance that the murderer may have finally caught up with her.
PRETEND YOU DON'T SEE HER kept me turning pages well into the night. I finished it quickly, as I found the fast paced writing style enjoyable. The characterization was intriguing. I genuinely liked Lacey, who came across as courageous, caring and altogether realistic. Her genuine feelings for her family and her attraction and unwillingness to lie to a man she met while in the witness protection program made her even more endearing. I found myself wishing that the relationship between her and Tom had been more detailed, but that's what I get for reading a mystery novel rather than a romance!
This was my first experience with one of Mary Higgins Clark's books, and it certainly won't be the last. She's indeed just as talented as her reputation led me to believe, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Summary: A Suspenseful Murder
Comment: This book is about a girl named Lacey Farrell, a real estate agent in Manhattan. She gets offered a co-op and she is witness to a murder. The dying person, Isabelle Waring, is sure that the murderer was trying to get her dead daughter's journal. Lacey makes a copy of the journal, which turns out to be very dangerous.
This is an example of foreshadowing because as the book goes on Lacey is almost shot three times and almost killed in a woman's house in the end. This book created a sense of suspense because as I was reading I began to think Lacey might actually die and it made the book very good to read.
Lacey had to go into the witness protection program and goes off to live in Minneapolis. She gets a fake name, which is Alice Carroll. She joins a gym and even meets a guy named Tom Lynch that she begins to date on and off. Eventually she has to break it off because she can't bear lying to him. She finds out that the killer knows of her whereabouts.
Lacey heads back to New York to find out the truth and solve the murders before she becomes the next victim. This book also used a lot of imagery. A good example of imagery would be "He wore a gray wig over his sandy hair, there was a graying stubble covering his cheeks and chin, and his lawyers suit had been replaced by a shapeless sweater worn over faded jeans."
My opinion on this book was that it was very good and I always wanted to keep reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. It was very suspenseful. It was long but easy to read and had good vocabulary that I didn't know yet.

Summary: Good but not great
Comment: This was a well researched book with interesting insight into the witness protection program. Unlike a lot of detective/ thrillers, this novel was easy to follow. However, the characters did not leap off the page and many of the scenarios seemed implausible. If I'd related better to Lacey, the protagonist, I might have gotten more chills on her behalf. Having said all that, this is still a good book to take on a plane or to the doctor's waiting room.--Sophie Simonet, ACT OF LOVE, romantic suspense novel (Fictionwise)
