NO PLACE LIKE HOME | Mary Higgins Clark

Liza Barclay, aged 10, shot her mother while trying to protect her from her violent stepfather, ex-FBI agent Charley Foster. Despite her stepfather's claim that it was a deliberate act, the Juvenile Court ruled the death an accident. Many people, however, agreed with Foster and tabloids compared Liza to the infamous murderess, Lizzie Borden, pointing even to the similarity in name. Growing up with adoptive parents who tried to erase every trace of her past, her name is changed to Celia. Always, though, the fear hung over her and the family - that someday, her vengeful stepfather would reappear to harm her. Aged 25, a successful interior designer, she marries a childless sixty-year old widower and they have a son. Before their marriage, she had confided her earlier life to her husband. Two years on, on his deathbed, he tells her that he would want her to re-marry, but makes her swear never to reveal her past to anyone, so that their son would not carry the burden of this family tragedy - a promise that plunges her into a new cycle of violence. Three years later, happily re-married, Celia is shocked when her second husband presents her with a gift -- the house where she killed her mother. When the real estate agent who has made the sale recognises her and, soon after, is murdrered, Celia is accused of the crime. Once again, she is home -- the place where she is stamped as a murderess.

Book 2 of #AwesomeAugust is complete, and one more off of my shelves for the #UnreadShelfProject. As per usual, Mary Higgins Clark killed it! Another gem of suspense.

7 hours in and counting 😏

My Uncle‘s mom passed away a little while back & they came across a lot of mystery books - Mary Higgins Clark, James Patterson, etc. - while cleaning out her house & are trying to find a good home for. Are there any Littens in the Denver area who would like them? Or do any Denver Littens know of a good place in the area where they can be donated?

AmyG Does the Denver Public Library accept used books....to be sold and the money goes to the library? 5y

@TheReadingMermaid is hosting the #24in48julyreadathon maybe I can get some good reading done since I'm off this weekend!

Btw how do I do this?

#readathon #challenge

BeansPage We are reading for 24 hours in a 48-hour span. What you do is every time you pick up a book to read use your stopwatch on your phone two-time how long you're reading. Post updates everyday that the read-a-thon is going on. Does that make sense? 6y
miamorswife @TheReadingMermaid yes it does. Thanks! 6y
BeansPage No problem sweetie if you have any other questions just let me know 🤗 6y

miamorswife @TheReadingMermaid how are people making the graphs? 6y
BeansPage You know that's a good question I'm going to have to do some research and figure that out 6y
BeansPage There are a lot of apps in the Play Store that help you make graphs and I'm sure what they're doing is just using an app and taking a screenshot of it and posting it 6y

Mary Higgins Clark lives, sort of, behind my neighbor. On Halloween, when she was only a few books into her writing career, the kids would cut through the neighbor's yard just to ring her doorbell. My kids said she was always so nice. #localauthor #aprilbookshower

ElizabethAndino This post made me nostalgic for Maeve binchy, for some reason! 8y

#FunFridayPhoto I started reading "adult books" in 5th grade, beginning with what remains one of my favorite Mary Higgins Clark novels.
