***Although it's been over
40 yrs since the original was published, you don't have to reread the original unless you want to. But if you haven't ever read it, I recommend you do! They did add a synopsis for us readers as a reminder.
I was a huge fan of the first one and have to say what a great continuance of this story! I loved the writing and how everything flowed at such a great pace. It was nice to see Nancy, Melissa and Mike and what they've been up to 40 yrs later. Although much trauma in their youth and even though they are still dealing with it, it was nice to see Melissa and Mike have become successful in their lives.
This is mainly Melissa's story. Melissa is now married to a man she met while going to counseling. She has a
3 yr old step-daughter that goes missing, from her locked house, while Melissa is sleeping and her hubby Charlie is out of the country.
Meanwhile the police are trying to figure out the mystery as to who took Riley and why, and how did she disappear?
I will say I did begin to figure it out towards the end, then bam!!! Plot twist! Just love them!!!
This is a must read for those that love twists, turns, and WTH just happened moments!
I just love Mary Higgins Clark's books and the addition of Alafair Burke whom helped bring this to fruition!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can not recommend it enough. Please make sure to grab a copy when it releases in April 2023!!
Thank you to Alafair Burke, Simon & Schuster, and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advanced digital copy in exchange for a honest review.
