    About this ebook

    It's a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeon's office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughter's scars will heal, she spies a familiar-looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of deja vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting face -- on another woman -- she has an intense flash of recognition: it's the face of Suzanne Reardon, the "Sweetheart Murder" victim, killed more than ten years ago! The case resulted in a guilty verdict and life sentence for Suzanne's husband, Skip. But for what possible reason would Dr. Smith be giving his patients the face of a dead woman?
    As Kerry immerses herself in a fresh investigation, she is catapulted into the strange and ominous territory of those so obsessed with beauty they'll kill for it. Each new piece of evidence she unearths reveals a disturbing cache of questions. Not only does everyone involved want to keep the case closed, it's clear somebody will stop at nothing to keep it sealed forever. As she delves deeper she finds she's wrestling with a force so sinister that her own life -- and her daughter's -- is threatened with increasing peril....
    Interweaving fascinating characters with deeply daring, staggeringly unpredictable plot twists, Mary Higgins Clark reminds us that she is, indeed, America's Queen of Suspense.

      Really enjoyed this book - very fast moving, with several layers to the story. It keeps you thinking about who may have done it right up to the end. Read in 24 hours as very difficult to put down - wanted to know what happened next. Some good characterisation - made you care about the main characters.
      Can't wait to read my next Mary Higgins Clark.
    • 4/5
      Great mystery. Good storyline. Twisted ending!!!
    • 4/5
      Good pace - unexpected ending. Enjoyable
    • 4/5
      I really like Clark's books, especially her earlier ones and this was great. Short chapters, interesting characters, full of suspense and red herrings, and a happily ever after ending - what more could you ask for?
    • 4/5
      A quick read with a surprise ending -- a surprise to me, anyway! It kept me turning the pages with well-crafted characters and a fast-moving storyline.
    • 3/5
      Just a straightforward mystery novel. Nothing fancy, nothing too surprising, fairly stock characters. Passably entertaining. Would have been better if the characters hadn't been so one-dimensional and predictable.
    • 3/5
      SUCH a creepy story line! I haven't the faintest clue how she comes up with these, but Mary Higgins Clark is a master.
    • 4/5
      What happens when a plastic surgeon puts the face of a dead woman on his patients? A fresh investigation is started that could threaten could turn sour for the investigator and her daughter. I did like the book because, as always, Clark does a wonderful job.
    • 4/5
      Kerry is trying to figure out why a plastic surgeon makes her feel creepy.
    • 3/5
      Not the best of Mary Higgins Clark.
