Product Description
It has been ten years since 21-year-old Kevin MacKenzie, Jr. ("Mac"), has been missing. A Columbia University senior, about to graduate and already enrolled in Duke University Law School, he walked out of his room in Manhattan's Upper West Side without a word to his college roommate and has never been seen again. However, he does make three ritual phone calls to his mother every year: on her birthday, on his birthday, and on Mother's Day. Each time, he assures her he is fine, refuses to answer her frantic questions, then hangs up. Even the death of his father, a corporate lawyer, on 9/11 does not bring him home, or break the pattern of his calls.Mac's sister Carolyn is now 26, a law school graduate, and has just been hired as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. She has endured two family tragedies -- her brother's inexplicable disappearance, and the loss of her father. Realizing that neither she nor her mother will ever be able to have closure and get on with their lives until they find her brother, she sets out to discover what happened to Mac, and why he has found it necessary to hide from them. Her journey into the world of people who willingly disappear from their own lives leads her to learn about others who may or may not still be alive, and ultimately to a deadly confrontation with someone close to her who suddenly becomes an enemy -- and cannot allow her to disclose his secret...

 Where Are You Now? October 5, 2008
Where Are You Now?: A Novel My first Mary Higgins Clark book. I really enjoyed this book and am now a MHC fan.
 Disappointing September 30, 2008
I can never wait for MHC's books but the last few have been very difficult for me to get through and this one was sadly disappointing, despite one of the better hooks she's had in recent years.
Though not nearly as routine as the last book, once again, I found myself totally confused by the plethora of new characters arriving every few pages and had to keep turning back to follow the threads.
The villain is, as usual with MHC's books these days very obvious. This time however, the plot spins around a major plot flaw. I wonder how many real life owners of trust funds blindly allow ANYONE to manage those accounts without checking balances etc. for over a decade?
What I always find intriguing in an MHC book is her detailed descriptions of New York's working class folk.
She studies them carefully and these characters seem authentic, though not particularly admired.
The higher class characters are all the same and quite...unreal, yet these are the characters we are expected to root for...difficult when we never learn much about them.
 LOVE IT! MHC's latest has it all--glamour, suspense, intrigue... September 24, 2008
I've read every one of MHC's novels, and her latest "Where Are You Now?" rates high on my list as one of her most entertaining reads. I can't believe any one would call this novel predictable! I couldn't put it down wondering who was behind the tangled web of a myriad of mysteries that boiled down to one person I would least suspect. The characters and scenes were depicted perfectly, and MHC is back to her old self portraying the glitz and glamour of Manhattan's lifestyle coupled with gripping suspense. MHC is an amazing woman and I can't say enough good things about her writing style and the research she puts into her novels. She is my role model. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
 Not my favorite September 15, 2008
I haven't read Clark in a while. This was not my memory of other books I have read. In all honesty, just too many characters...........
A great, suspenseful book September 9, 2008
As usual, Mary Higgins Clark does not disappoint. Her books are easy to read, hard to put down, suspenseful stories. I just love her stuff. She leaves you guessing until the very end.
