 First Mary Higgins Clark book, I've made it all the way through! July 8, 2008
I have it admit, I am not a big fan of this author. In fact, this is the 1st book of hers that I've actually finished! I decided to give it a try after reading the back cover and some reviews. This book took me about 2 days to read and kept my interest, something this author doesn't usually do. I don't know what is different about it, but maybe the plot was a little different then usual, and it was very entertaining and fun and kept you guessing till the end
 Mary Higgins Clark has lost her intrigue! June 27, 2008
I used to look forward to every new offering by MHC; however, in 'I HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE', she seems to have lost her ability to inspire.
She only seems able to write about an 'elite society' that is foreign to most readers. The Carringtons are filty rich but her rambling on with familiar modifiers and boring details has finally taken its toll on this reader.
She might only be able to recapture my interest IF she were to write about some 'ordinary folk' like those offered by the alphabet mystery heroine, Sue Grafton.
This book was a waste of my time and, I suspect, that of many of her previous loyalists.
Good MHC novel June 5, 2008
I have read almost all Mary Higgins Clark's books, and I couldn't hardly put this one down (except when I had to). There are many suspects, as well as some unexplained deaths (suicides or murders?). This does lead to many characters to keep track of, so if you don't keep up reading it; you may need to reread parts. I would recommend it for any Mary Higgins Clark fan or any fan of mystery/suspense novels.
Could have been better May 19, 2008
I think the fact that I found the heroine, Kay rather vapid and her husband Peter Carrington, one dimensional, turned me off on this book. There was some suspense concerning who killed Susan Althorp and Grace Carrington and what happened to Kay's father. Kay was rabidly loyal to her husband arrested as a suspect for murder but there was little shown about their relationship and what led them to marry in the first place.
It's a page turner but there are some long stretches and also the conclusion left (at least to me) some unresolved issues for Kay.
 How can anyone say this book was disappointing?? NOT AT ALL! May 16, 2008
I am not sure how any of the previous people could say this book was disappointing. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had some really shocking moments in it for me. I did not guess who the killer was. When all the evidence was presented, I thought it was someone else. I have read a handful of MHC books and they have all been good but this one, has to be one of the greatest! I could not put it down.. I didn't want it to end and it painted such a great picture of the mansion to me that I wanted to visit. I loved this book!
