Product Description
Product Description
I cannot believe I am standing in the exact spot where I was standing when I killed my mother...When she was ten Liza Barton shot her mother dead, trying to protect her from her violent stepfather. The court ruled the death a tragic accident. Many believed it to be deliberate murder. Twenty-four years later, Liza is known as Celia. Now a successful interior designer, living in Manhattan, she is happily married for the second time, with a young son, Jack, by her first marriage. Nothing can disturb their peace. But when her new husband surprises her with a gift, her world is suddenly shattered - for it is the very same house where her mother met her death. It soon becomes clear that someone in the community knows Celia's true identity. And when the estate agent who sold the house is brutally murdered, Celia instantly becomes a suspect. As Celia fights to prove her innocence, she has no idea that she and Jack could be the next targets of a ruthless killer.

Format:Paperback
Mary Higgins Clark is a technically excellent writer. "No Place Like Home" starts off with an improbable event, linked to a decades-old murder, linked to heroine Liza Barton, linked to... This is intriguing, page-turning stuff, full of twists and mysteries as the heroine is faced with one trauma and life-threatening situation after another but battles on against adversity. An enjoyable, hard-to-put-down mystery thriller.
Downsides: none, if you like fast-moving thrillers set in small-town America. People who like a wider canvas may find Liza Barton's world a bit parochial.

This is a truly fantastic book. I was gripped from the first page and finished the book the very next day! From the start you are drawn in by the characters and their lives. I have recommended this to all my friends. Wonderful.

A grave disappointment
I thought this was pretty awful, to be honest, and a catastrophic decline in quality from her earlier stuff, all of which I've read and enjoyed. Read more

Excellent!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The end of every chapter leaves you with something so that you keep wanting more. The book would make a great film.
