Ms. Clark is pairing up with another author so I was curious if Ms. Burke's influence would affect Ms. Clark's tastefully writing (she is a rare author who does not succumb to language and intimate scenes. Her superb plots and character development prove a truly excellent writer does not need those elements to sell a book!).
This book continues to follow Laurie Moran and her television show Under Suspicion from Mary Higgins Clark's last book-I've Got You Under My Skin. For Laurie's second show she is trying to solve a twenty year old case where a beautiful, intelligent UCLA student is found dead in a park near a now famous movie producers home. As Laurie interacts with the deceased friends and acquaintances, more suspects emerge and other shady dealings within a mega church are revealed.
Very exciting and well developed plot.
I did not like how the church was portrayed. The pastor of the mega church was evil-manipulating church members to ensure his continual power, using the money to line his own pockets but putting on a front of helping the needy. He was also a pedophile. Details were not described but enough was written to know he was in fact that. I know it is a reality that some churches and pastors are this way but hopefully readers will not make a generalization.
