Rating:  - Interesting Mystery
Nine CD's is a lot of mystery! I enjoy hearing Jan Maxwell's voice reading the book. I load my CD player and listen to the story as I fall asleep at night.

Rating:  - Poor writing, formulaic, insults reader's intelligence
This was my first MH Clark book. I read a lot and enjoy most genres, including suspense. There are so many excellent writers today that I can't imagine reading another of hers. I imagine this as the kind of novel an artificial-intelligence computer program could generate when fed a standard formula. Dialogue was stiff, wordy and unnatural; even the teenagers speak careful, precise sentences. The story and characters were highly contrived, implausible and irritating. There's no attempt at thoughtful ... Read More

I enjoyed Night Time is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark
tremendously.It's the best mystery I've ever read.
