Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Emily Graham knows what it's like to have enemies in Mary Higgins Clark's On the Street Where You Live. The pretty New York attorney--a millionaire due to a lucky stock market break--has been sued by her greedy ex-husband and stalked by a man who thinks she helped his mother 's murderer escape punishment. But when she buys her great-great-grandmother's childhood home in the sleepy resort town of Spring Lake, Emily thinks her new life will be saner, even though five other young women, including Emily's ancestor Madeline Shapley, have disappeared from Spring Lake under creepy circumstances over the past century.

No sooner has Emily moved in than she starts receiving frightening anonymous messages. Worse, when she breaks ground for a backyard pool, the backhoe brings up the body of Martha Lawrence, who vanished four years ago, and whose dead hand clutches the finger bone of Madeline Shapley, identified by her sapphire ring. Both women disappeared on September 7, 105 years apart. When the cops and Emily realise that a similar parallel exists between two other missing women and that the anniversary of yet another girl's disappearance is fast approaching, they quickly surmise that a sixth murder will be attempted in just a week. But by whom? Is today's serial killer a copycat of the Spring Lake murderer of the 1890s--or a reincarnation? Fueled by fear, anger and scary little notes from the killer, Emily's actively researching the murders, but even she doesn't realise how many suspects there are: the retired college president who's being blackmailed, and his perpetually angry wife; the town's bankrupt restaurateur with a weakness for pretty blondes; the middle-aged detective with his finger right on the pulse of the crimes. Even Emily's friend Eric, the software CEO who made her rich,and Nick, her new co-worker, seem to show up at suspiciously convenient times.

Mary Higgins Clark's cast of characters may be overly large; in going for quantity she skimps on the characterization, and all of them, including Emily, are rather wooden. But characteriation isn't what's made this 24-book author a bestseller-list regular. The cleverly complex plot gallops along at a great clip, the little background details are authentic and the identities of both murderers come as an enjoyable surprise. On the Street Where You Live just may be Clark's best in years. --Barrie Trinkle, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Review

Get ready to be scared with this great thriller from best-selling author, Mary Higgins Clark. Defence lawyer Emily Graham, recovering from a horrific stalking experience, buys back her ancestral home in the beautiful Victorian resort of Spring Lake, a prestigious enclave with a disturbing past - one that is about to be linked to the present in terrifying circumstances. Within a day of moving into her new home, police discover two bodies in Emily's backyard - their deaths separated by exactly a century. It soon appears that the old death is more than casually connected to the more recent one and further enquiries reveal that another two murders committed at the end of the 19th century are also tied to the disappearances of two young girls in the same area within the last few years. Similarities abound and the question is soon raised as to whether the late 19th century killer has been reincarnated... Fast-moving, page-turning action is accompanied by several sub-plots designed to keep the reader on tenter hooks till the final climactic finish. Not to be missed by any crime afficionados who like a touch of the supernatural. - Lucy Watson

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping Mystery, 8 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Street Where You Live (Hardcover)
Once you've read one Mary Higgins Clark book you're hooked! This latest mystery is an excellent read, with as always, a strong central character, twisting plot, suspense and a hint of romance. The setting (a New Jersey seaside town) is atmospheric and the characters are well drawn. It's one of those books that you just can't put down and when you finish you're craving the next!
Excellent:read it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Double Whodunnit, 7 May 2004
By L. Duran-Camfferman "Larisa Camfferman" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first started reading Mary Higgins Clark when my aunt was in the hospital. She was in there for a long time and did nothing but read, be sick and receive visitors. Her favourite was MHC and since then, I've also been an avid reader of MHC.

I've made the mistake once of buying one of her daughter's books, Carol Higgins Clark. Carol has a very different writing style than her mother and I was disappointed, not because it was badly written, but because I expected Mary's famous mixture of romance, detective work and a hint of the supernatural.

In On The Street Where You Live I was not disappointed. Emily decides to buy a Victorian house in Spring Lake that was once her family home.

The murderer has found the diary of the 1891 murderer that once made Spring Lake unsafe, and starts re-enacting those murders. The body of his murder, as well as the body of a girl who vanished in 1891, is found in the garden of Emily's new home.

As if that isn't enough to make her feel unsafe in what was to be her dream house, the stalker who was arrested some years ago appears to have reappeared in her life.

MHC manages to introduce a multitude of characters in her story, each with their own personality. You are witness of their inner turmoils, which makes the story so much more life-like.

Good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down, 2 Nov 2001
By Christine L (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: On the Street Where You Live (Hardcover)
I thought for a long while before writing my summary of this review. It seems every time I read a Mary Higgins Clark book I think the same thing. I couldn't put it down! And as always I was dying for an epilogue...

I've read all of Mary Higgins Clark's books and I love every single one of them. They might not be the most challenging plots or thought provoking books, but they're excellent entertainment and this one was no exception. I would even go as far as to say that I always know what to expect from her books because they follow the same concept. But that's also the beauty of her books. I know that I'm getting a great story. I know that I'm getting excellent characterisation. And I also know that I'm going to get a very well developed plot and that I'll be surprised several times over before the end of the book.

If I compare this latest book to Mary Higgins Clark's first I also feel that she's moved with the times and adapted her stories to modern life. If I have to criticise anything it will have to be her slightly stereotypic treatment of some of the minor characters, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this book at all.

I highly recommend it to anybody who wants a light and enjoyable read, and who doesn't mind not being able to put the book down until you've read the last page.
