      This was my first read by Clark -- certainly an éminence grise in the field -- and I must say enjoyed it. I picked this up because I read was about a class reunion as the setting for a former nerd taking murderous revenge on his onetime bullies, and that is exactly the kind of petty fantasy nonsense I can empathise with. While the reunion part was disappointing, the other plotlines that were introduced picked up the slack. Essentially, the reunion is there to provide a plethora of suspects, and Clark skilfully makes it seem as though they all could be the killer. Of course, tension ramps up towards the end. Nothing surprising, but a quality crime read nonetheless. So. Not a raving review, but simply a solid whodunnit.
    • 5/5
      Lots of twists. Loads of turns. I enjoyed hearing the author at the end too
    • 2/5
      A class reunion provides the backdrop for this novel. A serial killer appears to be at work. Much of the book concerns itself with one member missing and others concerned the last member of a group will be the next victim. I did not enjoy this book. Too much action came from tiresome conversation. I never got past apathy for all the characters. I considered abandoning the book several times, but I wanted to read a book by Clark after her death. I obviously picked the wrong one from my library's e-book collection.

      was a good book. love most of mary Higgins clark books
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book, which appealed to me from the very first page. Warning: It is a highly addictive book, which was difficult to put down! This was finished on the same day it was started - although in the early hours of the morning. I like the fast moving paced of books by Mary Higgins Clark, and the way they keep you guessing throughout the book about 'Who Did It'. As the book moved on I kept changing my mind about who 'The Owl' was, but still got it wrong. Curses!
      If like fast moving suspense books that keep you fully engaged I would recommend this book. Enjoy!

      This was my first MHC book, though I liked the story and suspense element to some extent yet I did not enjoy reading this book much, reason being MHC’s writing style. It became so irksome at times that I just wanted to close the book once and for all but the suspense element pulled me back to finish it finally. The story started good with so many (annoying) characters and as the story moves on curiosity increases but after so many build ups about the killer the ending was just plain and disappointing. Overall, all I can say is this book was something new yet unsatisfactory read for me.
    • 2/5
      I could not get into this book. I don't know what it was, but it just was not interesting. This is another of Clark's works I feel would have been more entertaining for a parent, or someone of more seasoned years, but for me it was a chore to get through.
    • 4/5
      Clark definately has a way with suspense that I have not read before but I would love to see if she has any romantic suspense as in the 2 books I have read of hers so far the tying up loose ends at the end of her novels only breifly mentions who ends up with who and never seems to bring out the tenderness of a relationship!
    • 4/5
      I must admit that I started this book with rather low expectations. I have recently grown a little tired of detectives and it was the first one I attempted in a while. However I did enjoy it.The characters seemed well crafted and the story was built up very well. Clark keeps feeding you little snippets of information that make you think: I know who The Owl is, but still I was never quite correct. The ending was good, although the epilogue made it just a little 'cheesy' for my taste.In the beginning I did mix up the names of all the male honorees. They were all a little bit strange and nerdy growing up, so I had problems keeping them apart.
    • 3/5
      Having read all of MHC's books, it is difficult to write a so-so review. Overall the book was good, but not as good as her previous novels. I often got the male reunion characters confused and had to re-read the book jacket to keep them straight. This doesn't change the fact that she is still my favorite author and I will continue to read all her future books.
    • 4/5
      Quick reading and entertaining.
