5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting and quick read., May 1, 2003

By	Beverley Strong (Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stillwatch (Mass Market Paperback)

When investigative journalist Patricia Traymore is invited to Washington to make a special TV documentary on prospective Vice Presidential candidate Senator Abigail Jennings, she moves into her familys old home- the scene of a terrible tragedy when she was a child.In the course of her investigations some rather murky truths begin to emerge and she receives threatening letters, warning her to leave the past alone. As she continues to live in the house, old and horrifying memories begin to surface, forcing her to relive forgotten episodes from her childhood and revealing facts which threaten to affect her safety.I found this to be a very good, fast read which is gripping to the last pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mary Higgins Clark at The Top of Her Game!, May 17, 2005

By	Susie Morris "Book Junkie" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stillwatch (Mass Market Paperback)

A warning note was passed under Pat Traymore's door, which was a reminder of her past. As a television journalist and TV series producer, she knew instantly it was a warning. Her series on Senator Abigail Jennings, who was nominated as the first woman vice president of the United States seemed to be the center of the warning. With the aid of an old friend who happens to be a congressman (Sam Kingsley), Pat searches for clues as to why Abigail's life had gone this route. But in the process, the Senator's reputation and Pat's career could be on the line.

STILLWATCH is a story that will keep you at the edge of your seat and entertained from the beginning until the end. Mary Higgins Clark is at the top of her writing game with this book. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout this book, that keeps you guessing at all times. Some may figure out the villain, and others won't, but all will agree that STILLWATCH should definitely be on everyone's Must Read list!

4.0 out of 5 stars My First MHC Novel, July 31, 2005

By	Tommy Taylor (Sunny, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stillwatch (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up this book when my wife left it on my bed stand a couple of weeks ago and I started reading it out of curiousity. I was immediately drawn in by the way Higgins-Clark weaves her plot together. Her style is truly wonderful for her genre of writing. I hate giving away any plot when talking about books (though this is my first here at amazon) so all I'll say is that you better look out for the plot twists and get ready to really be sucked into the world of the protagonist.

Since, my wife and I have been swapping books and I've sent some Koontz along her way and I've read another interesting work by the name of Manhook - which has been a fun read for an old corporate hack like myself *laughs*

Definitely check this one out, it's made me curious to see what other works MHC has out there - if you're a first time reader or are already into her work - you won't be dissapointed.
