Moonlight Becomes you by Mary Higgins Clark Series: No Format: LP Hardcover 2 Star Recommend: No Would Reread: No This is the third Mary Higgins Clark book I have read this year and I think I’m done. I give honest reviews and all my opinions are my own. For more of my reviews go to Heavenly High Seas Books https://heavenlyhighseasbooks.blogspot.com/ E' il secondo romanzo della Higgins Clark che leggo e probabilmente rimarrà l'ultimo: ho ritrovato tutti i difetti dell'altro libro, per di più esponenzialmente peggiorati. Innanzitutto la trama fa acqua da tutte le parti, non è solo banale ma anche poco logica. [SPOILER]-L'esempio più lampante: perchè le campanelle sulle tombe? Non viene mai spiegato, sembra quasi che il colpevole lo abbia fatto per farsi scoprire più facilmente-[FINE SPOILER]. L'altro enorme problema sono i personaggi, macchiette senza alcuno spessore: la vecchina arguta, lo studioso fanatico e via di questo passo. La protagonista poi è insopportabile nel suo perfezionismo, talmente bella, intelligente e ammirata da tutti che quasi facevo il tifo per l'assassino. Avrei potuto chiudere un occhio su queste mancanze se il mistero mi avesse appassionato o almeno incuriosito, ma la suspense è totalmente assente da questo volume, che scorre liscio come l'olio senza un minimo di pathos. Il colpevole si può capire per esclusione dopo le prime 40 pagine e lo svolgimento viene appesantito da una pseudo love story di cui avevo previsto tutto già dalla presentazione dei personaggi. L'impressione è che il canovaccio su cui l'autrice costruisce le sue storie sia sempre lo stesso, cambia solo lo sfondo: ragazza piacente ficca il naso in un'omicidio e sta quasi per rimetterci le penne, ma per fortuna il suo eroe senza macchia e senza paura la salva e risolve la situazione. Alla faccia del femminismo. Il vero mistero è come faccia ad avere così successo Mary Higgins Clark. I haven’t read a lot by Mary Higgins Clark but I have been reading her books since I was a kid. I have always really enjoyed the stories and I very rarely figure out the endings. So I had high expectations for this one and was somewhat disappointed. It usually only takes me a few hours to get through her books, but this one took me days. It just didn’t seem like much was happening and it wasn’t that suspenseful. I still enjoyed it, but it’s probably my least favorite of the ones I’ve read by her. It might have something to do with the fact that I used to read her books when I was 10 – 13 years old. You know when you love a book or an author as a kid, and then go back as an adult and it’s just not the same? I hope that’s not what it is. I really hope it was just this one book and I enjoy whatever I read by her in the future. Even though it was my least favorite by her, it is still worth a read if you are a fan of hers. If you’ve never read a Mary Higgins Clark book before, try one of her other books. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

FROM AMAQZON: At a party in Manhattan, Maggie Holloway—one of the fashion world’s most successful photographers—is thrilled to be reunited with her beloved stepmother. A widow now, Nuala Moore is equally delighted to see her long-lost stepdaughter, and she invites Maggie to spend a few weeks at her home in Newport, Rhode Island. But when Maggie arrives, she finds Nuala murdered, apparently by a burglar.
Heartbroken, Maggie is stunned to learn she had inherited Nuala’s stunning Victorian home...and horrified when she begins to suspect that Nuala’s death was not random, but part of a diabolical plot conceived by a twisted mind. When Nuala’s dear old friend, Greta Shipley, dies suddenly of supposedly natural causes, Maggie is convinced that there is a link between these two and other recent deaths among the older women of Newport. What she doesn’t realize is that she has now become a target for the killer as well, and that each clue she uncovers brings her closer to an unimaginable fate. ( )
