Where are you now ... already!

I've probably read just about every mystery written by Mary Higgins Clark. Her latest (that I know of) is called "Where Are You Now?" It was never ending for me, even though it was only about 300 pages. This one wasn't one of my favorites. I can usually get through one of her books in a day or two. It took me a while longer with this one. And I even picked up other books and was tempted to start them (that's something I never do!)

The premise of the story was intriguing. A young man disappears weeks before his college graduation and for the next 10 years the only contact he has with his family occurs once a year on Mother's Day when he calls him mother to let her know that he's okay. Even more interesting is the fact that Clark read a news article about this very thing happening and was inspired to pen this tale.

It was okay. I was "shocked" at the end. But I may think twice about reading her next book. I may just be over it.
