Amazon.com Review

We'll Meet Again is filled with the ingredients that Mary Higgins Clark devotees will devour: fast-paced suspense, double-crossing villains, romantic intrigue, and a resounding showdown at the end. Harder to swallow is the excessive use of theatricals whenever the author describes a satanic like HMO, and its legion of evil doctors. The darkest knight of all is Peter Black, whose eyes "were cold, angry, menacing--certainly not the eyes of a healer." Still, melodrama aside, Higgins Clark still knows how to spin a good yarn.

Her heroine in We'll Meet Again is an investigative reporter named Fran Simmons, who is not unlike the bright, resourceful Dr. Susan Chandler in You Belong to Me. Fran has just been hired to work on a popular new TV show called True Crime. Coincidentally, her very first assignment involves an ex-pupil from her old high school, the posh Cranden Academy in Greenwich, Connecticut. Molly Lasch had been incarcerated in her mid-20s, accused of pulverizing her husband's head with a Remington bronze sculpture. The murder of this community doctor, and chief executive officer of a local HMO, stunned Greenwich.

For half a decade Molly claimed to have no memory of the event, but now out on parole, slivers of memory trickle back--and Molly informs the press that someone else was in the house at the time of her husband's murder. Few people believe her--even less so when a key witness from the original trial is stabbed to death and evidence links Molly to the scene of the crime. It's up to the ever vigilant Fran to investigate what the police won't--and she unearths some very dark and extremely dirty secrets that will further shock the quiet community. --Naomi Gesinger

3.0 out of 5 stars This Is A Must Read For All Murder Mystery Fans, June 10, 1999

By A Customer

For anyone who loves the classic murder mystery story, Mary Higgins Clark's We'll Meet Again will exceed every expectation. The story centers on the socialite Molly Carpenter Lasch, who, five years prior to the beginning of the story, pled guilty to murdering her husband, Dr. Gary Lasch, despite the fact she remembered nothing about the night he was killed. After being released on parole, Molly asserts her innocence again in front of the media. Among the media, Fran Simmons, an old classmate of Molly's from high school, begins covering the story for the local television station for a segment called True Crimes. Molly contacts Fran and convinces Fran to help her investigate the murder further in order to find the answers to that tragic night. During the course of the investigation, tragedy strikes again when the body of a key witness is discovered only hours after Molly questioned the witness. To the surprise of many, the book holds the reader captive until the very end. This is one of Clark's best works so far. For a fast paced and intriguing murder mystery, We'll Meet Again is one of the best new novels available right now and a must read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprise!!, August 1, 2001

By	V. VanCamp "lovesbookslovesmusic" (Ithaca, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: We'll Meet Again (Mass Market Paperback)

Though this book has a slow start... the last 1/3rd is very engrossing! The outcome was a surprise for me and I NEVER suspected the murderer!

"We'll Meet Again" is another book in the long list of excellent and very entertaining mysteries by Mary Higgins Clark.

This story is about Molly, a wife convicted of murdering her cheating husband, Gary. She does not remember the night of his death at all. When she is released from prison she asks her friend, Fran, an investigative reporter to help her find her husband's murderer, even if it turns out to be herself (Molly). While Fran investigates, another murder is committed and it looks like Molly will be tried for this death also!

While Fran uncovers an inhumane research project that Gary and partners are involved in at the hospital she is nearly murdered herself!

Overall, this book is very interesting with a surprising conclusion!
