All rights reserved. . From Publishers Weekly At the start of bestseller Clark's riveting new novel of suspense, Kay Lansing recalls her first visit as a six-year-old to the Carrington estate in Englewood, N.J., where her father worked as a landscaper. The subsequent discovery of two bodies buried on the estate causes even Kay to doubt her husband's innocence. Clark (Two Little Girls in Blue) deftly keeps the finger of guilt pointed in many directions until the surprising conclusion. Twenty-two years later, she returns to ask the present owner, Peter Carrington, if she can use the mansion for a fund-raiser. The two fall madly in love, and after a whirlwind courtship, they marry despite the shadow of suspicion that hangs over Peter regarding the death of a neighbor's daught
Mary Higgins Clark takes you deep into the mysteries of the human mindŠwhere memories may be the most dangerous things of all. But when Kay Lansing, now a librarian in Englewood, asks Peter's permission to hold a literary benefit cocktail party on his estate, she comes to see Peter as misunderstoodŠand when he begins to court her, she falls in love -- and marries him. Kay Lansing grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, daughter of the landscaper to the wealthy and powerful Carrington family. What she does not realize is that uncovering what lies behind these memories may cost Kay her life.. She believes that the key to the truth lies in the identities of the man and woman whose quarrel she witnessed as a child. One day, accompanying her father to work, six-year-old Kay overhears a quarrel between a man and a woman that ends with the man's caustic response: "I heard that song before." That same evening, young Peter Carrington drives the nineteen-year-old daughter of neighbors home from a formal dinner dance at the Carrington estate, but she is not in her room the next morning and is never seen or heard from again. However, she soon makes a discovery that leads her to question her husband's innocence. Decades later, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Peter, not only for his neighbor's disappearance but also for the subsequent drowning death of his own pregnant wife in their swimming pool

Kay Lansing wants to know who she heard when she was a child in a chapel, and if her husband is involved.This book, the latest from Mary Higgins Clark, is a thrilling story. Clark continues her reign as the queen of mystery, although this isn't my favorite of her books. Her characters are well developed and the plot flows nicely.My own complaint is with the new use of first person- Clark began using it in her last novel, and to me it detracts from the
