In this 2nd book in the 'Under Suspicion' series, producer Laurie Moran investigates a 20-year-old murder for her reality crime show. The book can be read as a standalone.

New York based Laurie Moran produces a television show called 'Under Suspicion', a reality show that highlights cold cases. The program brings together people who were involved with the victim, questions them, and perhaps sheds new light on (or even solves) the case.

This is the first book I have read by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. I quite liked this one. It was different, easy to read and get into. The book is centred around Laurie Moran, who is producing a reality TV show called "Under Suspicion". The show hopes to bring new evidence to light and help solve previously unsolved cases. I really liked all of the characters, particularly Laurie and her Father, Leo, and son, Timmy. I did question some of the deductions made from the clues, and thought ...more

Reading a Mary Higgins Clark book is like comfort food. You always know what to expect because each of her books have the basic story- Successful, tallish slender woman (because her life is too complicated to find food interesting) who is currently single. Each time she meets a tall and equally successful and handsome man who will help save the day right before the murderer strikes. This being said, I have read every single one of her books and I will be one sad woman when she stops writing. How ...more

This is my very first Mary Higgins Clark and I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It reads fast and the pacing is smooth, flowing naturally without any major flow to it in my eyes.

I found the concept of the TV show - Under suspicion - very interesting.
Laurie Moran heself, the producer of the show, is a victim of a murder case and got her beloved husband gunned down right in front of her kid, Timmy. She hasn't fully recovered from the traumatic experience, the wound is still raw, yet she now steers the show featuring unsolved cases and finds herself in grave danger before she knows it.

The narration style, the way the plot is told, is very interesting and clever. In the first half, probably up until 30% or so in the book, the story is narrated in a sort of 'can-of-warms' or 'domino effect' way for lack of better words, in which you have another character popped up other than the main character of the chapter and then that 'another character' is featured in the next chapter. For instance, you have Madison Meyer, the victim's fellow wannabe actress in college, reminisces of Keith Ratner, Susan's ex-boyfriend and then you have Keith Rater as the main character of the subsequent chapter. The characters are linked to one another and the readers get to know how they are connected. The authors introduce their characters - the main casts of the 'Cinderella Murder case' - one after another in a methodical and clever way and that certainly caught my attention. I really like how all the casts are smoothly eased into the story.

That said though, I found the plot slightly boring until I was past 50% mark.
There are some intrigues and ominous hints thrown into the plot which had me guessing what was going on, but the whole The Advocate of God twist and its role in this book took me a while to comprehend,
I also thought the plot moves a teeny bit too slow there. Steady and smooth, yet it took a while for mystery/thriller elements to kick in and I must admit I felt a bit bored at some point.

The latter half is strong. The tension is built up nicely as the plot thickens, I caught myself gasping 'Oh, my gosh' several times.

Nonetheless, my issue lay with the ending and the romance element in this book.
I personally don't need any romance in crime thriller/mystery books, I even think such romance elements could potentially make a book reduced down to be unnecessarily cheesy and overdramatic and I must say it was the case with this book.

As I said, the tension and suspense was built up really nicely. I liked how the villain was finally revealed and the explanations made a total sense. I am satisfied with that.
That said, the climax was utterly underwhelming and anticlimactic in my book. Alex's frantic search for Laurie (out of his love for Laurie) could be favored by many readers and it could be said that was what the chase of the murderer even more suspenseful and thrilling, but it actually had an adverse effect on me, making me feel detached from the plot and I couldn't emotionally attached to the story any more.

As I really enjoyed following the book up until the very end, this book certainly won't be my last Mary Higgins Clark, yet if this series keeps this way, I might not pick up the next book. I'm in two minds about it. ...more

Their very first show had caused a cold case to be solved; a murder which had dogged the police since it had happened. So now Laurie was set to run another; with the approval of her boss Brett, and the help of her assistants, Jerry and Grace, she started on her investigation of the Cinderella Murder. Twenty years previously, nineteen year old UCLA student and only daughter of Jack and Rosemary, Susan Dempsey had been viciously murdered. Her killer had never been found, and Jack had passed away three years previously, having never discovered his daughter’s killer. Now Rosemary was desperate for answers.

Laurie had recently known tragedy herself and now her son, nine year old Timmie and her dad Joe were her life. She juggled her intense workload with her family commitments well, but still she was extremely grateful to her dad for his dedication and care of Timmie. Joe was a retired policeman and kept a close eye on his daughter and grandson. His cop radar was always working.

Getting to know the past players in the Cinderella Murder case was a challenge, but one that Laurie and her team were prepared for. Digging deeply to learn it all could uncover facts the police had missed long ago. That’s what Laurie hoped anyway. When host of "Under Suspicion", lawyer Alex Buckley joined the team as they travelled to California, they had no idea that danger was following them all the way. Would Laurie and her team discover Susan’s killer? Would Rosemary know closure after all this time?

The Cinderella Murder is a fabulous start to a new series by two highly successful writers, Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke; my opinion – they have a winning combination! A fabulous thriller with a rocketing pace, loads of tension and suspense to keep you enthralled right the way through. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will be looking for the next in the series – hopefully not too far away. Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review.

If you are a fan of unsolved murder mysteries and reality crime shows than Clark’s new series will delight you, as we interview those involved with the crime and piece together clues. Clark makes us privy to the behind the scenes workings of a reality drama show.
The case is fascinating. Susan Dempsey a talented UCLA student is found dead. Despite suspects, the police were never able to solve the crime. Now ten years later thanks to her mother’s persistence Laurie Moran and her show Under Suspicion re-interview those closest to her and the lead suspects.
Clark provides us with an interesting cast of characters. Laurie Moran and her young son know firsthand about unsolved crimes, and this makes Laurie very successful at her job. Laurie’s Dad, takes care of her young son. As a retired police officer, he aids the investigation. Laurie is intelligent, quick thinking and level headed. She loves her son and excels at her career. While not without flaws and luggage, she felt genuine. Alex Buckley is the host of Under Suspicion and a lawyer. Smooth and patient best describe Alex. I would like to see the man get a little excited. Friends and associates of the victim make for a curious case. Even Laurie’s young son makes an impact on the case at hand, notching up the suspense. Clark did an excellent job of fleshing out characters and we even see hints of romances. I loved how diverse the suspect list was from actors to scientists.
The Cinderella Murder was a fantastic audio listen. Alafair Burke did a wonderful job of creating unique voices for each character. Her pacing, breath and emotions allowed me to slip into the story.
Mary Higgins Clark is a seasoned author who knows how to let the story unfold, weaving in red herrings, clues and notching up the suspense. Nothing felt forced or rushed. The mystery was well crafted with an air of believability danger and action. I had a blast piecing things together and enjoyed the twists and turns.

I have been super excited about finally getting to read this book because I am such a big fan of both authors- Alafair Burke and Mary Higgins Clark. With these two at the helm, I knew this would be a great mystery and so it was.

Television producer, Laurie Moran, desperately needs a hit. With her career on the line, she pitches “The Cinderella Murder” to showcase on her new reality TV show “ Under Suspicion”. Once she begins looking up all the 'usual suspects', she soon discovers someone wants to shut down the renewed interest in the case and Laurie herself could be the next victim.

Years ago, a talented young UCLA student was murdered on her way to an audition. The case was never solved, but a cloud of suspicion still hangs over the director she was on her way to meet. But, it seems many others have been harboring secrets in regards to this case and now the truth is beginning to seep out little by little, casting doubts over all those involved. Was it a jealous roommate? Someone involved in a cult like church on campus? Susan's boyfriend? The director?

This is a classic whodunit, cleverly plotted, with precision timing and pacing. I love cold case stories that blend the past with the present, as long buried and dark secrets come bubbling to the surface, and of course after all this time has passed, the murderer is finally brought to justice.

Because I read so much, and am usually called upon to scrutinize a book with a critical eye, I have become jaded over the years. However, I chose this book as a pleasure read, and only have a few very minor complaints, which I can't expound on without hinting at the outcome, but, I must say, I found this mystery very entertaining. It kept me guessing, has likeable and realistic characters in the lead, and just a tiny bit of romance to cap it all off.

There is very little detailed violence, the language is mild and while there are adult situations, there is no explicit sex. This is just an all around solid mystery that everyone can enjoy. ...more

Now, Clark joins with another bestselling author, Alafair Burke, for an ongoing series about Moran as she produces Under Suspicion, a show that investigates, and tries to solve cold cases. As a fan of cold case mysteries, I was hooked when I picked up The Cinderella Murder.

Moran, who lost her husband to a killer, understands the pain felt by a victim's family and friends. She's the perfect one to bring together a television show that recreates cases, hoping to finally find answers. Twenty years after Susan Dempsey, a nineteen-year-old college student, was found strangled in Laurel Canyon Park, her mother, Rosemary is still determined to find answers. So, she agrees to cooperate when Laurie wants to put together a show about the case the media called "The Cinderella Murder". Susan was a beautiful young actress whose body was found missing one shoe, an appealing scenario for headlines. Laurie Moran is sure the show will appeal to viewers. Who can resist a cold case involving a computer genius, the movie industry, and the "noir of Mulholland Drive"?

As Laurel and her team gather together the people who were once involved with Susan Dempsey, they hope to uncover clues that remained secrets twenty years earlier. But, Laurel's father, a former police officer with the New York Police Department, finds something odd about the death of Rosemary Dempsey's neighbor, and tags along on the trip to Los Angeles. In all the excitement of filming a show, the team tends to forget that a cold case means there may still be a killer out there who wants the murder to be forgotten.

Clark and Burke's first book together is a riveting story with multiple red herrings and suspects. In a show about a cold case, everyone involved earlier is "Under Suspicion". But, the authors are careful to handle not only the murder, but the pain felt by family members who are still desperate for answers. And, they've given us a protagonist, Laurel Moran, a victim herself, who understands that desperation. Hopefully, The Cinderella Murder will be the first in a string of hits for Clark and Burke, and the beginning of an ongoing search for more stories for Under Suspicion. ...more

If that's the case, count me as a bandwagon-jumper when the next one is published.

"Under Suspicion" is the title of a reality TV show produced by Laurie Moran and her team. The pilot for the series, which revisits cold case crimes through reenactment, focused on the murder of Laurie's own husband and was a great success. Now, she's found a topic for the second, the so-called "Cinderella Murder" of a talented UCLA student named Susan Dempsey some 20 years ago. First up, though, she must convince her boss that it's worth the time and, most importantly, financial investment.

She does that by looking at the evidence and asking questions; why, for instance, was one of Susan's shoes missing when her body was found (hence the moniker "Cinderella Murder")? Why does Susan's mother fervently believe her daughter's cheating boyfriend killed her? Is there a connection with the leader of a controversial mega-church? Needless to say, finding the answers is appealing to her boss, but it isn't until top attorney Alex Buckley, who served as the host/interviewer in the pilot, agrees to return that Laurie gets the go-ahead and a production budget.

As one might expect, production doesn't quite go as planned, with twists and turns and more than one new murder. In fact, there aren't a lot of big surprises anywhere in the plot, from who's going to bite the dust next to a blossoming love interest to whodunit. I also noticed a couple of what I'll call inconsistencies along the way - facts that are presented in one manner and contradicted a couple of chapters later - leading to my rating of 4 stars instead of 5.

That said, this is murder on the lighter side (meaning hardly any blood and guts and no messing with my head) - something I've come to expect from Higgins Clark. It's a quick, enjoyable read that was exactly what I needed after reading some heavy-duty, mind-bending thrillers.
