Emily Wallace is a young prosecutor in Clark’s latest murder mystery novel. Emily is given the opportunity to prosecute Gregg Aldrich in the murder of his wife, an acclaimed broadway actress. As far as Emily is concerned, this is an open/shut case. She has a star witness to corroborate with all of the evidence....the only problem is that he is a convicted felon. Still, she is sure that a jury will find Gregg guilty. Within all of this, there is a creepy neighbor, an estranged mother-in-law, and many other characters that throw you off base. This is your typical Mary Higgins Clark book...she leaves you constantly wanting more, and tosses in tons of characters to always throw you off track! Did Emily get the conviction she wanted? Was Gregg really guilty? Is this creepy neighbor anything more than just ‘creepy?’ Read to find out!
