Let Me Call You Sweetheart
3 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover:
"It's a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeon's office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughter's scars will heal, she spies a familiar-looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of deja vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting face -- on another woman -- she has an intense flash of recognition: it's the face of Suzanne Reardon, the "Sweetheart Murder" victim, killed more than ten years ago! The case resulted in a guilty verdict and life sentence for Suzanne's husband, Skip. But for what possible reason would Dr. Smith be giving his patients the face of a dead woman?
As Kerry immerses herself in a fresh investigation, she is catapulted into the strange and ominous territory of those so obsessed with beauty they'll kill for it. Each new piece of evidence she unearths reveals a disturbing cache of questions. Not only does everyone involved want to keep the case closed, it's clear somebody will stop at nothing to keep it sealed forever. As she delves deeper she finds she's wrestling with a force so sinister that her own life -- and her daughter's -- is threatened with increasing peril....
Interweaving fascinating characters with deeply daring, staggeringly unpredictable plot twists, Mary Higgins Clark reminds us that she is, indeed, America's Queen of Suspense."
I found this book in a box of books my mom was getting rid of. It's not really my style, though, so I'm going to pass it on.

This book is now part of a bookray!
A bookray is when a book is sent from one person to another through a list of members who have signed up for it. When the last person on the list receives the book they can do with it as they choose--start a new ray or ring, release it into the wild, give it to a friend--whatever!
Here are the guidelines for this bookray:
1. When the person before you on the list is done reading the book they will send you a personal message (PM) asking you for your address. If you feel that you are too busy at that time to read the book within a reasonable time period (about 1 month), ask that person to skip you and go to the next person on the list. If this happens, PM me to let me know what’s going on and, if you want, I may be able to move you down the list so you can try again later.
2. When you receive the book, make a journal entry letting everyone know where the book is. Keep in mind that there are other people waiting to read the book after you, so try not to take too long to read it. A general rule of thumb is to have the book in your possession for no longer than one month. If you know you won’t be able to get to the book within a month, pass it on to the next person on the list, PM me letting me know, and I can move you down the list so you can try again later if you’d like. If you’re reading the book and it’s taking you longer than expected to finish, make a journal entry letting everyone know! Remember, there’s no such thing as too many journal entries.
3. When you’re done (or almost done) reading the book, send a PM to the next person on the list asking for their address. Even if you think you already know that person’s address, it’s a good idea to double-check to make sure their address hasn’t changed—and also make sure the list order hasn’t changed since you checked it last. If the next person on the list doesn’t respond to your PM within several days, try again. If you still get no response within one week, PM me to let me know what’s going on and then skip this person and try the next person on the list.
4. After you’ve finished the book, journal a quick review of it for us letting us know what you thought of it!
5. Send the book to the next person on the list and post a journal entry letting everyone know it’s on its way. Sit back, relax, and watch the journals as the book completes its journey!

This was my first MHC book. I was hooked from the beginning. This is one of those books that just when you think you have it all figured out- BAM surprise ending. Skip Reardon is in jail for murdering his wife, Suzanne. He swears, like many inmates, he is innocent.
Kerry McGrath, prosecutor, happens to be in the offices of plastic surgeon Charles Smith, (the late Suazanne Reardons father) when she spies not one but 2 women who look remarkably like the dead Suzanne. Kerry becomes intrigued, and begins to suspect Skip really is innocent. Then who killed Suzanne? And why is her father making his plastic surgery patients virtual copies of his dead daughter?
Clark introduces several characters, each who seemingly have a reason to want Suzanne killed. Each one desparate to keep the truth hidden. So who really killed her? And Why? The answer just may surprise you.

Arrived today in Alabama, will journal again when read. Thanks for sharing Eucalia!
A quick read with a surprise ending -- a surprise to me, anyway! It kept me turning the pages with well-crafted characters and a fast-moving storyline. Thanks Eucalia for sharing! Will be on its way as soon as I get an address.
ppagano had gotten her hands on this book through another resource. As she was the last name on the ray, I've sent the book into the outside world.
Gave to a friend at from Georgetown University at a recent conference at Boston. Maybe she'll journal it, maybe not. I did ask her to just leave it for someone else when she was done -- the book is well-marked.
