The third thrilling installment in the bestselling Under Suspicion series from #1 New York Times bestselling author and "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke-television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help a woman she thinks was wrongfully convicted of murder.
Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiancé-famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III-fifteen years ago. And Casey claims-has always claimed-she's innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living "under suspicion." She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team-it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.
With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show-cooling his potential romance with Laurie-Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He's got a big reputation and the attitude to match it. Ryan has no problems with steering-and stealing-the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case because he's so certain she's guilty.
An egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey's innocence-that is, if she's innocent… The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end.

Like all Mary Higgins Clark books, the pace is quick. The story moves quickly, without skipping over the salient facts of the investigation. The pieces fall into place just when they should, leaving enough clues to make the mystery believable in the end, without making the real killer too obvious. It’s a fast, fun read, with enough mystery and suspense to keep the pages turning. Even though this a part of a series, it reads well as a standalone. As I a side-line I'd like to say if you have never read anything by the co-author, Alafair Burke you will be in for a real treat to do so.
Rating: 4Another terrific installment from the Under Suspicion series. I have read so many MHC books that I know the formula and figured out whodunnit very early on but it was an enjoyable and fun mystery.
Rating: 4Loved this one as I usually do with Mary Higgins Clark novel. Didn't see the huge plot twist coming. Can't wait to see what happens in this series.

Casey Carter, released from prison fifteen years after her conviction for manslaughter in the death her fiancé, has always maintained her innocence. With no way to clear her name, she approaches Laurie Moran, who produces the television show, “Under Suspicion,” in which unsolved crimes are investigated.Casey, once dubbed the Sleeping Beauty Killer by the press, asks Laurie to look into the murder of her fiancé, a murder that occurred while she supposedly slept. Reluctance on the part of the show’s host does not deter her; nor does she allow her mother’s reticence to keep her from seeking the truth. She offers Laurie a list of possible suspects, each with a secret to protect, and the investigation begins. Is Casey actually the killer or will Laurie uncover new evidence that will clear her name?Readers will find much to appreciate in the tale peopled by well-developed characters, an intriguing plot, and enough twists and turns to spur the story along to its somewhat predictable reveal. Recommended.
