There is a beginning, middle and an end. It is ridiculous because there is no way that all of the incidents in the book will neatly tie up in the end. It is ridiculous because it insults the reader who is looking for entertainment. It is ridiculous because what thief would just volunteer to help someone who is being charged for murder? Honestly Mary Higgins Clark you can and have done better. It is because this book was written from a different galaxy of reality that is totally unbelievable that it warranted two stars. I didn't realize this was another Alvira/Willie book, but that was a nice surprise! I like all the books with this couple who won the lottery several years ago, spend their money and live wisely and solve crimes (well, mostly Alvira does!) Anyway, this one involves a woman who is accused of killing her husband who had Alzheimer's, and Alvira searching for a friend's birth mother. It all ties together nicely, with new characters and a satisfying ending. A great read! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"In this exciting thriller from Mary Higgins Clark, the #1 New York Times bestselling "Queen of Suspense," a news reporter tries to find her birth mother just as she is assigned to cover the high-profile trial of a woman accused of murdering her wealthy husband. Television journalist Delaney Wright is on the brink of stardom after she begins covering a sensational murder trial for the six p.m. news. She should be thrilled, yet her growing desire to locate her birth mother consumes her thoughts. When Delaney's friends Alvirah Meehan and her husband Willy offer to look into the mystery surrounding her birth, they uncover a shocking secret they do not want to reveal. On trial for murder is Betsy Grant, widow of a wealthy doctor who has been an Alzheimer's victim for eight years. When her once-upon-a-time celebrity lawyer urges her to accept a plea bargain, Betsy refuses: she will go to trial to prove her innocence. Betsy's stepson, Alan Grant, bides his time nervously as the trial begins. His substantial inheritance hangs in the balance--his only means of making good on payments he owes his ex-wife, his children, and increasingly angry creditors. As the trial unfolds, and the damning evidence against Betsy piles up, Delaney is convinced that Betsy is not guilty and frantically tries to prove her innocence. A true classic from Mary Higgins Clark, As Time Goes By is a thrilling read by a master of the genre"-- No library descriptions found. |
