There was something lacking, it didn't had the spark of the Cinderella Murder story

Interesting, but it felt too pre-packaged and had no soul. I also thought the authors were trying too hard to be "hip", maybe for the benefit of the older crowd. It was just not compelling enough to finish (and I was 100+ pages in).

4 to 4.5 Suspenseful and interesting premise. Ending in regard to Laurie's personal life was disappointing.

Très égal au tome précédent. Je n'ai malheureusement pas retrouvé mon engouement pour cette 2e découverte de Clark. Ca se lit bien mais sans plus, je trouve que le suspense n'est pas vraiment présent (je ne sais pas pourquoi mais on sent dès le début que tout finira bien).
Bref, ça fait un peu "réchauffé" et j'en sors un peu déçue.

Il se passe globalement la même chose : tous les proches sont réunis, on suspecte une ou deux personnes car tout porte à le croire et au final c'est un des personnages secondaires. Au moment où on a fait venir les deux amis du marié j'ai su que ça serait forcément l'un d'eux car il n'avait pas vraiment de lien avec l'enquête...marryallthepeople's review against another edition

I feel like it missed a whole chapter or something at the end...

This is actually the 3rd Under Suspicion book which is a collaboration between Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke (I've Got You Under My Skin and The Cinderella Murders), and this one is my favourite. Reminds me of Agatha Christie in terms of all the people involved (dare I say suspects?) being together for the majority of the time.

I really like this new series by Mary Higgins Clark. Fun cozy mystery to curl up with. I only wish the heroine would commit to Alex!

Not bad. I liked this one better than the last Under Suspicion novel and much, much better than the last few (non Under Suspicion) novels that MHC has written on her own.
