Mary Higgins Clark does a good job of penning an easy read. Menley Nichols & her husband Adam are vacationing in a Cape house named Remember House. Dealing with a bit of post-traumatic stress after their 2 year old son gets killed by a train, Menley thinks she is going crazy only to discover that -SPOILER ALERT- Adam's "good buddy" Elaine & his client Scott Covey, who is on trial for the murder of his wife, have been playing cruel tricks on Menley to try to get her out of the picture so...more
Only up to 10% so far but I have always loved this author so I hope I still do!

Trying to save his marriage, Adam decides to rent a house in Cape Cod taking Menley and their baby Hanah there. Menley, taking advantage of the situation, decides to write a book about the house...more

They have a second child after the loss and it is the glue that helps bind them together or at times seem to tear them apart. The wife has post traumatic stress disorder and her husband is reluctant to leave her at their vacation rental home at on the Cape with their daughter alone. He has to travel back and forth to the city for days at a time fo...more

I've always been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark and this book just increases my love for her work. Remember Me is a beautifully written novel that blends intrigue, suspense and drama into a delightful little package.
The story centers on Menley Nichols, the wife of the high-profile defense attorney Adam Nichols. She is plagued by the unfortunate death of her two-year-old son Bobby, and suffers from Post-traumatic stress disorder. Hoping to mend their failing marriage, the couple move into Remember...more

I was in the mood for a mystery and when I was in Providence, on my way to Cape Cod for the summer, this book was the first book I picked up when I was proozing in Salvation Army. It was really fun to read while I was in the Cape because a lot of the places, streets, restaurants they talked about, I knew where they were. It was a super easy read (almost equivalent to how I remember a Nancy Drew). I had trouble getting into it at first, especially since there were a lot of characters and the chap...more
This is one of the best books I had read in a while. Its about a woman who loses her son and the struggles she goes through. She spends her time researching the old house she lives in which has quite a history. The book centers around a complex murder plot that doesnt unfold until the end. The ending is very good and unexpected:)

I really enjoyed this book until the last page or two, and then I remembered being disappointed by one of the Clarks before.
Mary Higgins Clark obviously does her research and she sets a well paced story with interesting characters. Her process of educating the reader is integral to the narrative rather than a thinly veiled attempt to show us how much she knows. (Thank you so much!)

This book is very good in the devleopement of characters and events. It is very carefully laid out and and suspenseful that you just have to keep on reading instead of being able to guess what happens. This is good because it keeps the story interesting and it does not become boring. The developement of characters is also very well done because it reveals more and more traits and hidden things as the book and events develope also. This is also great because the story is very realistic.

One of my favorite suspense/mysteries! Full of thrills and ghost stories, I had to keep my roomate up with me just to go to the bathroom afterwards.
A nice cozy read. Set in a small cape town (a small town mystery) the characters are well defined and the author has played well with the ordinary fears and jealousies of humans. Menley, the protagonist, has recently lost a child and is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Her husband is a renowned lawyer. As per her doctor's prescription, they decide to take a vacation at the tranquil Cape Cod in a rented house on the beach, which has a sinister history. How such details could...more
I can't believe that with all the books I've read in my life so far, I had never read a Mary Higgins Clark book before this one. This was a fun mystery. It was not a hard read but it totally kept my interest from beginning to end. I happened to be home alone at the time I finished it and I even felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up just a bit in the final pages. This book had interesting characters, a plot that kept moving and just the right amount of suspense. I will definitely be readi...more
I listened to this book on cd. This was a total guilty pleasure and a perfect book for a long trip. This book combined murder mystery, ghost story, and romance. I'm a sucker for historical ghost stories, so I was eating those sections up. I was worried it was going to go cheesy at the end, but I think that the twist was nicely surprising, even if it came out of left field. Overall, I'm not sure I would have loved this book as much if I was reading it, but it had enough suspense and mystery to ke...more
creepy! I couldn't look at this book at night. Hahaha.
This book was filled with Cape Cod history. It also had mystery, as well as historical fiction. It was really interesting, and the ending was a surprise, although there were hints along the way, it still had a few twists and turns at the end. As with the last book I read, this was my first experience with this author, but I know she has been very prolific and that means that alot of people enjoy her writing. I will be looking for other books by her in the near future. It also was an easy read, j...more

I bought this book while traveling through the US
Excellent Cape Cod thriller by this great author. Finally I found out more about Widows Walks and their purpose.
Try to catch the movie on TV, Kelly McGillis stars in it. It has been filmed in Cobourg, Ontario, which was probably cheaper than filming on the Cape.
I like the idea of describing how to create a book in the book (the female protagonist writes books for children).
6 stars for creating a fascinating atmosphere in an old captain's mansion (with a hidden chamber) on the Cape.

I was competely excited to read another Mary Higgins Clark book. After the first one I read I thought it would be great. However, this book was way over thought. There were way too many characters in the book that could have been left out and the story line still worked. Also, there wasn't really any mystery to this book. I knew from the middle what was going to happen and who did it. There were way too many clues to give away the ending. I will read another book by her, and I hope it's better.
Aku pikir pada awalnya ini adalah sebuah karya MHC yang penuh dengan hal surpranatural karena banyak adegan-adegan mirip hantu di dalamnya. Tapi ternyata aku salah.
Menurutku konflik dasar yang dibangun dalam novel ini kurang greget, ngga tau kenapa dibanding novel sebelumnya yang aku baca, aku kurang merasakan adanya suspense di sana. Pelaku nya juga mudah ditebak sejak awal. but its not that bad, guys. :) happy reading

Mary Higgins Clark illustrates suspense and deception with perfect ease.
This is my first high-school book read, and I thoroughly enjoyed, right from the beginning until the very end. She reels more and more suspense into her novels with the turn of every page, making it impossible for you to keep the book the down. The unique combination of haunts, ghostly feelings and a detective criminal story line, makes this story a memorable one.
I will surely remember you ;)

Really enjoyed listening to this Clark mystery. Love the Cape Cod location (since I vacationed there this summer and recognized a lot of the places mentioned). Actually two stories going on, did a man murder his wife for her million? And will a fragile wife overcome her post trauma stress of losing her son in a tragic accident. Add a creepy house and a pounding surf and you've got an easy read mystery.
(Portuguese version Lembre-Se De Mim).This suspense novel is all I need to spend all free time reading. First time i read to this author and surely will not be the last one. I finished it today at work and I thought it would be a fiction cause there's something about spirits and even one's imagine it will turn to be horror but all it was about a crime and a criminal trying to drive a woman to be crazy.
I had a Mary Higgins Clark phase between 8th grade and my sophomore year of high school. I read so many of her novels! Consumed is more like it... They are fast reads and you can really suck them down pretty quickly. I liked them because they were exciting mysteries, but not so scary that I could have become afraid of being home alone. I don't like that kind of scary!
I loved it. I couldn’t put it down. The way it was written in very short chapters moving back and forth between characters in the story really kept me wanting more and on the edge of my seat. The setting of Cape Cod really gave it a spooky if not romantic feel to it. The “ghost” story was great and the history of the house and town were intriguing.
I loved this book. I can usually figure out the whodunit far before I did in this book. I turned the pages with total absorption throughout my reading, and at no point did I feel it become sluggish. Remember Me was paced exactly right, and the characters were wonderful. I loved the way the plot and subplots were woven. I'll probably have to read it again because this book is a keeper.
