This novel was my first foray into Mary Higgins Clark, and my expectations were pretty high considering she is well known for being the queen of suspense. I didn't find this book to be all that suspenseful or mysterious though, so I was disappointed. I'm not all that clever, and even I had the killer pegged from the beginning! I feel like this book was formulaic and very much like all the other books being produced by the likes of John Saul, Dean Koontz, Stuart Woods, and Heather Graham.

I remember REALLY enjoying A Cry in the Night and While My Pretty One Sleeps in my youth, but these novels just don't hold the same magic that they once possessed for me. I've been picking up her novels to gulp down in brief chugs between some of the heavier titles (War and Remembrance, Exodus, etc.), and they definitely serve as something of a sorbet, but nothing more. I have one or two other titles that I'm considering giving my time to (if for no other reason than that I've already purchased...more
S'all right. I liked it because this was a fast-paced multinarrational text about an off text committed murder. It runs a little like an isolated manor text, but not really. The characters and plot line are a little contrived. The sister of the murdered woman goes to a spa (who does that) to rest up for her testimoney in court (okay, believable) only to find the man she believes (and will be tried for) killed her sister. Instead of leaving immediately she stays and thank goodness (thank goodread...more

Cypress Point Spa scheint ein Traum zu sein...direkt an der Pazifikküste, den Tag vollgepackt mit leckerem Essen, Fitness- und Wellnesseinheiten. Welche Frau wäre nicht glücklich, eine Woche dort zu verbringen?
Neben diesen schicken Elementen gibt es aber auch genügen Intrigen, Mord und Totschlag...da scheint ein Aufenthalt im Spa doch nicht mehr so verlockend, oder? Denn die Chancen liegen für alle Beteiligten recht hoch, Opfer zu werden ;)

Mary Higgins Clark has written so many books, but this is the first one I have read. I thought that it was an easy and entertaining read. Her development of the mystery reminded me of the BBC mysteries that I love to watch on PBS.
The killer was obvious to me very early in the story, but I liked the way the story made one suspicious to almost all of the characters in the book. I liked the woman who was reporting on her stay at the spa by recording through her pin.

The New York Times calls Mary Higgins Clark's masterpiece "the ideal book for the beach bag, picnic hamper, or carry-on luggage." "Well done and very scary," says Cosmopolitan. Prepare yourself for the Queen of Suspense's "crackling tale of menace and love that holds your attention to the last page" (Andrew M. Greeley).

WOW!! Mary Higgins Clark is THE BEST...! During my library period at school, i picked this book randomly and began reading. I read three pages and wanted to read more and more....So i issued it...and it wsn't a bad decision after all!
This book is about a girl Elizabeth Lange and her sister Leila LaSalle who is thought to be murdered by her fiance Ted Winters. The story rolls on and many overwhelming evidences show up...It compels you think and imagine the plight of all the characters. SUPERB NOV...more

I read this to pass the time on the bus in high school. It's basically about a younger sister dealing with her sister's death--she was killed in a tragic fall from her apartment's balcony. The main question is did her sister's fiance, a multimillionaire, kill her that night or was it someone else?
A good suspense story with some interesting characters that crop up at the spa.

This is one of my favortie mystery books. I never saw the end coming. And thats what makes it great. Its full of twists and turn ands secrets that keep you guessing. It is extremely well done to make the ending exciting. This also makes the rest of the book suspenseful with clues about different characters dropped here and there.
It also draws you in because of the beginning. The young life/conditions lived in it displays for these girls is deplorable really at best. But then they get out and w...more

I finished this book today and liked it very much. I did guess who had murdered Leila, but still enjoyed how everything was tied together. This one had Alvirha Meehan in it and I am pretty sure this is the first book that she was introduced in. She is quite the character. The only complaint I have and it is a minor one, is that some of the sentences appear to be choppy. But I did like the book and plan to read more by this author.
A decent suspense book with just enough drama mixed in to keep it interesting. I find Mary Higgins Clark to be easy reads usually and this was no exception. I will say that I thought I had it figured out a few times and the person who actually commited the crime was a total surprise to me in the end... i like those kind of books
Mary Higgins Clark is a gift author of suspense and has written many great novels in her lifetime.
In Weep No More, My Lady, Elizabeth Lange is investigating the death of her sister and while she is in California begins to endanger her own life in the process.
This is another cozy mystery author who you will enjoy.

Re-reading some of MHC's old stuff is reminding me that, yes, she can write a good book. Her last one (The Lost Years) was just so terrible I'm nervous to read the one coming out in a few months.
I read this because it's in my collection, but don't remember much about it. Probably because a lot of MHC novels blend together after a while for me. The only ones I remember are the ones I absolutely love. The other ones fall to the wayside in my memory. :-(
I am trying to switch to a fun fiction after reading a serious non-fiction and this book fit the bill for what I was looking for. I wasn't as shocked as I like to be after reading a mystery novel at the end, but I still had fun reading it and thought it was good!
It was a classic from Mary Higgins Clark. I always love reading her books growing up. even through I realized who the "killer" was before the middle of the book, it was well written, so I finished it. She tried to throws the reader off a couple of times.
It's a clean book I would recommend to anyone as an interesting and easy read. It is suspenseful and the culprit remains hidden until the end. Skillfully constructed, easy to follow; characters are well defined. I enjoyed it.
I think this was my first Mary Higgins Clark, and it was a fun read. Good story, unpredictable villain--a page turner. I don't know if I'll read a whole lot more of Clark, but only because mystery isn't my favorite genre.
Not my favorite of what I read.Its about this girl named Leila who everyone thinks either kills herself or is murdered. Then another murder happens who was Leila's friend and then everyone changes there mind and knows who the killer is.
Gave Clark a second try. Still "Murder She Wrote"-ish. Still not very enjoyable. She keeps the reader guessing, but in a tedious unrealistic way. I will not be reading her work again anytime soon.
At first, I wasn't at all sure who did it but as the story developed it became more obvious. I liked that you were given enough details to decide on your own. It was a bit predictable but it was a good read.
This was the one MHC book that has really left me disappointed. The plot was very predictable, so guessing who the killer was is pretty easy. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a great plot line.
I found myself not able to put this book down. It was very easy to get into and was constantly thinking about and trying to figure out who did it. This is my second favorite book from Mary Higgins Clark
A good book to read if you want to just sit on the couch, put forth no effort and eat munchies. I do that occasionally and so this was a fun book to read. It's your typical "who done it" book.
This book was an interesting mystery that held my attention but I cannot say I learn anything or was tully entertain by this book. It was okay but did not add anything to me or my life.
I loved it! MGC goes in-depth with her description of surroundings and even gestures of characters. It feels like you're really there, watching the story unfold infront of you.
A crucial clue was given away much too early, but the colorful setting and characters made it a page-turner anyhow. A good escape, like watching a 1980s prime-time soap.
