At a party in Manhattan, Maggie Holloway -- one of the fashion world's most successful photographers -- is thrilled to be reunited with her beloved stepmother. A widow now, Nuala Moore is equally delighted to see her long-lost stepdaughter, and invites Maggie to spend a few weeks at her home in Newport, Rhode Island. But when Maggie arrives, she finds Nuala murdered, apparently by a burglar. Heartbroken, Maggie is stunned to learn she had inherited Nuala's stunning Victorian home...and horrified when she begins to suspect that Nuala's death was not random, but part of a diabolical plot conceived by a twisted mind. When Nuala's dear old friend, Greta Shipley, does suddenly of supoosedly natural causes, Maggie is convinced that there is a link between these two and other recent deaths among the older women of Newport. What she doesn't realize is that she has now become a target for the killer as well, and that each clue she uncovers brings her closer to an unimaginable fate. In her most chillingly suspenseful novel yet, the Queen of Suspense delivers a tale of brilliantly sustained terror, woven with the skill and insight into human nature that have made all of Mary Higgins Clark's books major bestsellers.

What a fabulous, exciting and just-creepy-enough read this is.Maggie Holloway is a successful New York photographer who unexpectedly meets her former stepmother, Nuala after a gap of many years. Maggie agrees to visit Nuala in her Newport home for a short stay but upon her arrival, finds Nuala dead after a vicious beating.Maggie learns that Nuala changed her will in her favour only the day before and also changed her mind about selling her house and going to live in a luxurious retirement establishment.Nuala had left a request that Maggie visit her friend Greta who already lives in this retirement home and, when Greta dies unexpectedly that same evening, begins to feel that something is terribly wrong. Mary Higgins Clark incorporates some strange and slightly macabre touches with sinister props, a local weirdo and the feeling that Maggie should be looking over her shoulder--a lot !!!
Moonlight Becomes You is full of high suspense, spooky highlights and romance. Just what you would expect from the Queen of Suspense.This is one of Mary Higgins Clark's top thrillers I've read in a while, and I have read almost all of her books.You will not be disappointed in the twist and turns in this book nor the outcome. In fact, the only time you will be disapointed is when you finish the book.
This Mary Higgins Clark book is an extremely suspenseful read. I liked this book because of the way Clark decided to let Maggie and Naula meet. It was a wonderful way to start the unpredictable novel. This book is so thrilling that it will have you reading day and night. Taking place in Rhode Island, this book is about Maggie Holloway, a successful fashion photographer. While accompanying Liam Moore, Maggie's good friend, to a Moore-Payne reunion, she is reunited with her once stepmother, Naula Moore. In order to "catch up on things", Naula invites Maggie down from her Massachusetts apartment to come to her home for a week. Upon arriving there, she finds out that a burglar on a random break-in had killed Naula. Desperate to find out whom the murder is; Maggie explores the world of Latham Manor, the wealthy nursing home Naula was supposed to live in, and the cemetery where Naula was buried. This book's ending is so suspenseful; you will be on the edge of your seat, reading until you come to the last page.
Moonlight Becomes You, by Mary Higgins Clark This mystery begins with its heroine buried alive in a casket. I initially avoided this book when it came out because that scene seemed too macabre and not what I would normally expect from Mary Higgins Clark. However, Clark stays true to form in this mystery and the bulk of the book concentrates on how Maggie (a professional photographer and now amateur sleuth) came to be buried alive. The mystery surrounds a high income assisted living home for the elderly, Latham Manor. Apartments are purchased for high prices and belong to the occupant until death. Upon death, the ownership of the apartment is automatically transferred back to the owner of Latham Manor. Clark treats her many older characters with respect by reminding us how interesting people of any age can be. Maggie is drawn into the plot when her, long lost and suddenly newly found, stepmother Nuala hosts a dinner party in her honor. Maggie arrives late and instead of finding a party, she finds a surprise of a different sort. This book contains the usual roller coaster ride that Clark tends to give her readers. The plot has many twists and turns that have you hanging on for dear life, while taking you to a destination that you're not quite sure of. This was definitely a fun mystery to read.
My wife convinced me to give her favorite writer a chance since I like a good suspenseful story. I found her pick rather dissappointing. The premise of elderly folks being killed for monetary gain is nothing new in fiction. The fact that it went on so long with no one uncovering the heinous acts ruined the book's believeability. There were no real twists in the story that a reader could not figure out. Also, the heroine is no great catch. She spends a huge part of her time missing obvious clues and growing upset that a certain man she has a romantic interest in (and who is too good for her) can't read her mind. There is a creepy and suspenseful opening to the book that lets you know immediately that the main character is in dire peril, but I'm sad to say that as the story unfolds, and you get to know her better, you find yourself rooting for the heroine's rescuer to show up several minutes too late. I'm sure Mary Higgins Clark is a fine writer, but this book can't be an example of her best work.
I love Mary Higgins books and have read hers from the beginning. Her last two did not catch my attention in the first chapter as they usually do. Thinking that it may be me and not the book, I bought this book. It has done the same thing, so I will wait and try again later. Just ordered one of her daughter's books-Carol Higgins Clark, who I also read. After, will go back to Mom's book and read. Love their mother/daughter books also.
What a great story! Romance, murder, interesting characters, I loved this book The characters were believable, and well written. The plot was so carefully constructed. I could not put the book down until,the last page. I love her stories!
