This was the perfect good ole-fashioned whodunnit to read while being wrapped up in the front of the fire poorly. I am pretty new to Mary Higgins Clark but I now know that she can be completely and utterly relied on for comfort reading.
Emily Graham moves in to her ansestoral home in Spring Lake, NJ knowing that over 100 years ago a family member was murdered in that very town. In the following years, two more of her ancestors friends were also murdered and the town now appears to have a copycat murdered over a century later with young girls disappearing on the same dates. The last date that fits with the older crimes is less than a week ago so there is a race against time to find the perpertrator before he strikes again.
As with all MHG’s books, there are suspects aplently and you soon learn that, true to form, it could be anyone of them. I love the fact that her books have no gratuitous gore in them, just an old- fashioned whodunnit. I enjoy her books in the same way that I enjoy Agatha Christie’s; you know what you’re getting and can rely on them.

    Just finished reading “On The Street Where You Live” that I purchased at a good will store. I enjoyed the book and couldn’t put it down. However, whenI got to the end, the last page was riped out. So I don’t know anything about the picture. Is there any way to find out what was on the last two pages? My other alternative is to go to the library and find the book and read it there. Thanks in advance for any help.
