I am really loving this author! A quick, suspenseful read that really has you guessing to the end!
On the Street Where You Live, Mary Higgins Clark A young, recently divorced New York attorney buys a sprawling old Victorian house her great-great-grandmother once owned, only to find a skeleton in the closet -- and one in the backyard! Separated by more than a century, the two murders are nevertheless somehow linked, and worse, she discovers that the killer may still be on the loose. Chilling, thought-provoking, and utterly compelling, this mesmerizing thriller is vintage Mary Higgins Clark, an...
the end was so predictable ! i liked it at first but i got bored quickly and there was so many characters i lost count and got confused and bit lost reading this one just naah !! not my cup of tea
The queen of suspense didn’t build her reputation writing books like this. This is another mediocre effort with too many characters, compounded by not one of them having more than one or two vaguely memorable characteristics. As a result, I never got very involved in what was going on, since I was constantly wracking my brain to remember who was who every time the scene changed. By the time the murderer was revealed, it was insignificant because I couldn’t remember who he was.Emily Graham leaves...
Emily Graham, a successful defense attorney and recently rich, decides to buy an old Victorian home at the New Jersey resort seaside of Spring Lake, that once belonged to her great, great grandmother. Emily has also accepted a job with Todd, Scanlon, Klein and Todd, a nationally known criminal defense law firm in Manhattan. After closing on the house, and trying to establish her life in the new area, Emily receives threats on her life, which she believes are from the stalker that she put in jail...
While this wasn't my fave MHC book overall, it was definitely true to form and worth a reread. A murder mystery to keep my mind engaged, plenty of possible villains, and non-graphic, so I can get to sleep at night after reading. On to my next MHC book as I nostalgically binge my way through 2022 for all those cozy feelings!
After reading "Daddy's Little Girl", by Mary Higgins Clark, I was excited to become engrossed in another of her novels. But, I have to say, "On the Street Where You Live", was very disappointing to me. I actually couldn't wait to finish it, just to finish it, not because I couldn't wait for the ending. This story covers eleven days. It starts on Tuesday, March 20, and the "big" day that keeps popping up in the book is Saturday, March 31. Kind of eerie, I finished this book today, Saturday, March...
I feel as though the Mary Higgins Clark books are good for quick reads.For me all her books seem to be three point five star books. They’re good if you want something quick to read and yet I never seem to enjoy them as much as I love other authors. They’re sort of just there for when I want something quick to read.I think my main problem is that they all seem to be a lot of the same, in my opinion. Whether it is simply due to the selection of her books I have read or whether such is the case all...
Ugh. This book!The main character is dumber than a brick. She has absolutely has no common sense at all. I can't really picture a community where there is a serial killer on the loose, taking names left and right, and they calmly go on their lives without worrying glances over their shoulders.This book got me so frustrated. Ugh. Just thinking back on it makes me mad.
On the Street Where You Live is a mystery/suspense novel by Mary Higgins Clark. Emily Graham buys her ancestral home, in the town of Spring Lake, New Jersey following a nasty divorce and the trauma of being stalked. Her family sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily's forebears, Madeline Shapley, then a young girl, disappeared. As the house is renovated and a pool dug, a skeleton is found and identified as Martha Lawrence, a young woman who vanished several years ago. Within her hand is the f...
Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors when it comes to reading a quick and good mystery novel. This one did not dissapoint me at all.I really liked the plot, the way the mystery that they were dealing with in the present was linked to one that happened in the past was handled perfectly. It was a little bit predictable, I knew who did it half way through this, but it was just so good I enjoyed it anyways. I highly recommend reading one of MHC's novels if you are into mystery novels.
This is my first Mary Higgins Clark novel, and one thing that I appreciated about this book is that I was wrong in who the killer was. The author does a really great job of making it seem as if the killer can be anyone in town, and even better when I think I know who it is, I'm certain I know who it is, and am just waiting for the big reveal and... well, damn. I was wrong.And that's a GOOD thing.The only reason, really, why this didn't get more stars from me is because I just couldn't buy into...
I've only read one or two of her books before but I found this at a used book sale. It pulled me in pretty quickly and I'm enjoying it so far.This was better than I expected. It felt like if I'd read it more awake I might have been able to piece together enough to solve the mystery. One mystery was revealed to us before the other characters knew and that was fun too because we were able to wait to see how everything would unfold.I've only read one or two of her books before but I'll seek out oth...
So upon finishing this book, I found out that MHC passed away yesterday... I don't know what to say as a result.
Read this one awhile ago, but couldnt remember how it ended. I had some suspicions but there were several characters with fishy stories. I liked how it was set in NJ; Emily who is from Albany moves to a new house in Spring Lake formerly owned by some ancestors of hers. She is divorced and a lawyer soon going to start a new job in NYC. She made big money selling a stock that her friend who had a startup company at the time gave her and she has a past stalker and is now being stalked again. In the...
At first, I must say I kept a cheat sheet of all the names in this book. (Swear I did!) It started getting confusing trying to remember who was who. Then I realized the reasoning behind all the characters. I found it clever how Mary Higgins Clark introduced a super array of characters to keep the guessing game up as to who the murderer was. If I was given 1/2 the names I probably would have guessed the ending so much sooner. (What fun would that have been?) I hate to admit I never saw it coming....
She's One of My Favorite Mystery/Suspense/Thriller Authors. She’s amazing! I started reading her works way back in 2006. On The Street Where You Live by Mary Higgins Clark was the first book I've ever read. I borrowed it from the library. And since then, I have started to read all her books. I became fascinated with Suspense-Mystery Crime Books. Criminal defense attorney Emily Graham accepted an offer to leave Albany and work in a major law firm in Manhattan after her divorce had been finalized....
This book for real spooked me! It even gave me crazy dreams. The only problem I had, there were lots of characters and at times it took me a minute to remember who they were and their storyline.
