Amazon.co.uk Review
Lacey Farrell, the heroine of Mary Higgins Clark's 15th novel, is having a bit of an identity crisis. While working as a real estate agent in New York, Lacey witnessed a client's murder, and now she's in hiding with a new name and a new life. But changing her identity doesn't completely remove Lacey from the web of danger and deceit that surrounds the crime; new clues keep popping up that suggest some kind of link between Lacey's family and the murder. Meanwhile, a new man comes into the heroine's life, further complicating an already murky situation. As any fan will tell you, Mary Higgins Clark never fails to deliver plot twists and turns that are as unexpected as they are thrilling.

Customer Reviews

Fast-paced thriller
I think I have all books by Mary Higgins Clark. This one is definitely her best. The story is credible, fast paced and exciting. You can't wait to turn the page to see what will happen.

Lacey Farrel, a real estate agent, becomes close friends with the mother of a girl who has recently died in an accident. Her mother is worried that it might not have been an accident at all. But the mother's concerns are ignored, until she is murdered - and Lacey is a witness to her brutal murder.

The only one to identify the killer, she is quickly placed in a witness protection program and cut off from her family. Time passes as she tries to survive, lonely in a strange city, far from her family, until she decides to take fait into her own hands. She decides to start hunting for the killer herself.

I've recently re-read this book and found it as thrilling as the first time (I'd forgotten the plot). The back of the book says "This book should come with a warning: start it in the evening and you'll be reading way late into the night". Not an exaggeration.

Full of twists and turns
First book I've read by this author......

Lacey Farrell, a real estate agent witnesses a murder and becomes a target herself.

Entered into the witness protection programme for her own safety it's not long before her would be assassin is hot on her heels.

A brilliant read, fast paced and full of twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages right til the end.

May have been the first, but won't be the last book I read by this author!!

A spine chilling book you just can't put down
I like a book that makes my palms go sweaty, my pulse race and my fear reach an ultimate climax - and this is the ultimate trip of terror.
