You Belong to Me Large Print Edition

A killer who targets lonely women on cruise ships is at the center of Mary Higgins Clark's newest thriller You Belong to Me, a masterful combination of page-turning suspense and classic mystery.

When Dr. Susan Chandler decides to use her daily radio talk show to explore the phenomenon of women who disappear and are later found to have become victims of killers who prey on the lonely and insecure, she has no idea that she is exposing herself -- and those closest to her -- to the very terror that she hopes to warn others against.

Susan sets out to determine who is responsible for an attempt on the life of a woman who called in to the show offering information on the mysterious disappearance from a cruise ship, years before, of Regina Clausen, a wealthy investment advisor. Soon Susan finds herself in a race against time, for not only does the killer stalk these lonely women, but he seems intent on eliminating anyone who can possibly further Susan's investigation.

As her search intensifies, Susan finds herself confronted with the realization that one of the men who have become important figures in her life might actually be the killer. And as she gets closer to uncovering his identity, she realizes almost too late that the hunter has become the hunted, and that she herself is marked for murder.

In its review of her previous novel Pretend You Don't See Her, the Detroit News said of Mary Higgins Clark, "What's amazing...is how expertly [she] manages to keep us hooked time after time, and even better, create new plots, each as fresh as a mountain stream."

You Belong to Me is Mary Higgins Clark at her thrilling best.

SEE THE PYRAMIDS ALONG THE NILE...
rating: 4

As with so many of the author's books, this is a very enjoyable book of suspense. Although somewhat formulaic, it will keep the reader turning its pages. It is a wholly plot driven book with an interesting storyline. It seems that there is a killer out there who is targeting lonely women on luxury cruise liners.

When Dr. Susan Chandler, radio talk show host and psychologist, decides to dedicate a week of her show to the issue of why women should be safety conscious in social situations, one of her guests on the show is a psychiatrist that specializes in criminology. He has written a book about the suspicious disappearances of women from cases on which he has worked. Dr. Chandler decides to make one of them the focal point of her show. It is a disappearance that has intrigued her from the start, as it involved a wealthy investment advisor, Regina Clausen, who gave investment advice on a cable television show from which Dr. Chandler greatly profited and to whom Dr. Chandler has long felt indebted. . The woman had disappeared from a cruise ship after disembarking in Hong Kong from her cruise ship, never to be seen again.

When a mysterious female caller phones in to the show claiming to have information on the investment advisor's disappearance, information that appears to be vital to discovering the killer's identity, Dr. Chandler becomes enmeshed in a web of intrigue. Pursuing leads to discover her mystery caller, Dr. Chandler discover only too late who she was, as it seems that the killer may have gotten to her first. Now, Dr. Chandler finds herself at the epicenter of a killer's determination to tie up all the loose ends surrounding the mystery of the Regina Clausen disappearance.

As with so many of the author's novels of suspense, she deftly weaves her plot, so that the killer could be anyone of a number of people. The fun is in trying to decipher the clues found in the twists and turns the book takes and guessing which one of the men that have crossed Dr. Chandler's path is the killer. This is a very enjoyable quick read that fans of the author, as well as those who enjoy a good suspense novel, will like reading.

It was okay, but..
rating: 3

I was a little disappointed. I had hoped to find a thrilling suspense and, at times, I did. However, it was intertwined with useless details (for example, the main character is a psychologist, and the book goes into details about her unrelated clients' problems several times) where I just felt like they either needed to fill pages or simply wanted more suspense by adding these asides between clues. I didn't want to stop reading because I was adamant to find out who it was, but I was bored at times. It felt to me like adding suspense in a movie by pausing and showing a few holes of golf before returning to its plot. I liked the plot overall and felt the book had a good way of keeping you guessing, but by the middle of it all I was doing was keeping a mental countdown of how long it would be until I could finally finish it.

I bought this for my husband

I got this for my trucker husband for father's day. He loved it! He told me to buy out Mary Higgins Clark.

Clark Brings Suspense Again
rating: 4

Like most of Mary Higgens Clark's books, they're full of suspense and surprise. In, "You Belong To Me", Clark writes about a young radio talk show psychiatrist named, Dr. Susan Chandler, who explores a mystery that is occuring on cruise ships.

Throughout this thrilling novel, Clark introduces many characters which gives supporting background to all of the events in the book. At times the writing seemed a little too simple, but Clark still kept the tone sophisticated enough to make it seem more challenging.

Overall Clark keeps you interested until the very end. If you are a fan of past books written by Clark then you will for sure enjoy this delightful thriller as well.

A good read
rating: 5

Not a bad book, the bad guy is not obvious until the end. A bit contrived, but not bad.
