Summary: Deadly Class Reunion
Comment: I am a fan of Mary Higgins Clark (MHC) so any book that she writes is always a treat. This book is no exception. The book revolves around Jean Sheridan who is attending a class reunion and finds that most of the girls that she went to school with have died under mysterious circumstances. Not only does she have to worry about one of her classmate (Laura) who has disappeared from the reunion but someone is sending Jean threatening notes regarding her daughter, which she gave up for adoption when she graduated from Stonecraft Academy. This book is a little bit different in that MHC gives us many suspects (5 or 6). During this story you are continually trying to guess which of the former classmate is threatening Jean and her daughter.
I only gave the book 4 stars because when the psycho is finally unveiled you are left wondering why was he so obsessed with Jean. Throughtout the story MHC gives us a little bit of what is going on in his head and why he is "loco" but you kinda expect a confrontation with the killer and Jean, who was really his target all along. I enjoyed the book very much but I just wanted the ending to have more of an impact.

Summary: She's baaaack!
Comment: First of all, I have to say I have been a Mary Higgins Clark fan ever since I read "Where Are the Children." However, I have been somewhat disappointed with her last few books, especially the latest one. That was not the case with "Nighttime Is My Time." I think Clark has returned to her old form with a vengeance in this book and it was a pleasure to read. I couldn't put it down!
The story focuses on Jean Sheridan and a 20-year high school reunion she attends. Jean was one of a group of girls who sat together at lunch and who, at one time or another, made fun of a lonely high school student whose alter ego is "The Owl," a homicidal maniac. All of the girls, except Jean and her friend, Laura, have died mysterious deaths, in the order in which they sat at the lunch table. Will Jean and Laura be next?
Throw into the mix two unsolved 20-year-old murders, an adopted daughter who doesn't know her birth mother, a detective who has never given up on solving one of the murders, a large cast of suspects, and an audacious high school newspaper reporter named Jake Perkins, and you have a taut, exciting mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end the identity of "The Owl."
Bravo, Mary Higgins Clark, for getting back to your original style. You won this reader back -- in spades!

Summary: Hoot, Hoot, Hoot says the Owl.......
Comment: This book was terrific. There are so many twists and turns that you did not know what to think. The fact that all the girls were friends and that Jeannie had a secret that she thought was safe. All the different personalities were set just right to keep the story alive. This book was a good page turner and had the suspense, action, drama and spicey ingredients to make you keep reading and not put the book down.
Mary Higgins Clark is definitely the true queen of suspense and drama. I can't wait to see what the next novel will bring.
