Read this for July's "Humor" theme in my online book club, The Reading Cove. It revolved around a long-held family secret. Dr. Monica Farrell doesn't know who her blood grandparents are and there are many who never want her to find out. They go to great lengths to ensure she stays in the dark.
It had its moments, with a touch of romance with Monica and Ryan, but in the end, there were just WAY too many characters and associations, and far too many pointless tangents. It felt like the author was trying to confuse readers so they wouldn't notice the plot was being stretched much too thin. 319 pages with maybe 250 pages worth of plotting.
So when the end finally comes, it's disappointingly anti-climactic. I'm a fan of Mary Higgins Clark's earlier works, but I can't really say I'd recommend this one. C+
