I'll Be Seeing You

I’ll be Seeing You. Mary Higgins Clark. New York: Simon & Schuster, 317pp.
Meghan Collins, a television news reporter for the channel 3 news, is covering a story in the emergency room at the local hospital. When a woman who was a victim of a stabbing was brought in, she begins to investigate the murder and is shocked when she looks into the face of someone who could be her twin. This leads her to discover a double life her father had been living. By this time her father was presumed dead for ten months after a traffic accident that happened on a bridge crossing the Hudson River. Meghan’s mother is unable to obtain joint assets she needs to keep the family inn. In Edwin Collins absence, he becomes the suspect in a murder. Meghan decides that she is going to identify the dead girl, find her murderer, and clear her own father’s name. This search is entwined with a story she is covering on the Manning Clinic, an in-vitro fertilization center. The night she looked into the face of the girl that could be her twin she was sent on a journey of deceit and death involving her missing father, the stabbing victim, and the Manning Clinic. That would not end till she reached the truth that could cost her her life.
This was one of the best books I have read by one of my favorite authors. Mary Higgins Clark. In this book I was left wondering what was going to happen next, and where these clues are leading. In the end, when readers think they have it all figured out with Meghan, something totally opposite occures. Is she going to live through what it about to happen next? This book is geared towards readers who live suspense in the books they read and like to try to solve the mystery before the truth is revealed.
