Review: THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE by Mary Higgins Clark


A dying old woman with a secret. Only two weeks to live.

Monica was a pediatric doctor. Her dad was adopted and never knew his real parents. Now, both her parents were deceased, which meant her dad died without ever knowing.

Olivia, the old woman, still held on to the record of the son given birth by her nun cousin. Should she destroy it…or give it to her granddaughter—Monica?

Meanwhile, a hitman was stalking Monica.

Before Olivia could finally tell Monica the truth about her birth grandparents, she died. Now, Monica will never know. But did Olivia die naturally…or by something else?

 

Once again, MCH manages to weave several different elements and combine them into a compelling yarn of twists and turns. There are so many different characters, but the plots are so interesting that they keep you in tune with them all the way through. It was sad about the baby at the hospital. Would someone want the child whose mother was murdered and whose father was a suspect in the murder? Perhaps Monica could take her? But will she die before she can?

A nice wrap-up in the end and another good read!
