The Melody Lingers On by Mary Higgins Clark*

I do not read many adult books anymore. Their content often disgusts me.  But I eagerly read novels written by Mary Higgins Clark.
In her latest novel, Lane, an assistant to an upscale interior designer, finds herself in a romance with Eric Bennett.  His father, Parker Bennett mysteriously disappeared (or died) after he stole his clients' hard earned investment monies.
Through various characters' involvement in Parker and Eric Bennett's lives, the fascinating story unfolds.  Money may cover up crime and wrong doings for a time but one's sins will find them out.
A well paced story and well chosen details.
Ms. Clark is well into her eighties and still can write a well executed novel without filth.  She is proof the "other stuff" is not needed to tell a good story nor needed to have a successful writing career.
*Highly recommend.
Another new book by Ms. Clark is expected to be published in November 2015-All Dressed in White.
