Encouraged by her psychiatrist, his widow embarks on her own investigation of the corporate catastrophe. But certain people involved, who have been living on the billions of dollars they made while blaming her husband for everything that happened, are perturbed by her meddling and are desperate to silence her. And in the process, she discovers an even more shocking surprise about her husband... Information from Waterstones My Thoughts This book has been lying about in my TBR pile for a long time and once again it is an author which I have not read. The head of a medical research company is dead or is he and where is the moneylooted from the company. His step-sister-in-law is a columnist and is asked by her stepsister to prove she knows nothing about the missing money. As things begin to unravel they become sinister and dangerous. It is full of danger and suspense as Carely and her two work partners work to find out the truth. I will definately read her books again.

Weave Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think my husband has read some of her books and enjoyed them, thanks for the review Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I went through a phase of being 'addicted' to Mary Higgins Clark novels. Didn't find it very healthy *laughs* That one looks a bit different though... thanks for the review! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFreeze Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've been reading MHC for some years now and always really enjoy her books. Her daughter is a writer too (I think in the same genre?) but I've not read any of hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
