Mary Higgins Clark is the author of suspense novels that are worldwide bestsellers, with over 80 million books sold in the U.S. She is also the co-author of bestselling books with her daughter Carol Higgins Clark. Born in 1929 and raised in the Bronx, Mary Theresa Eleanor Higgins went to secretarial school before working in jobs such as writing copy in the advertising department of Remington-Rand, writing radio scripts, and serving as an international flight attendant. Her first suspense novel, Where are the Children?, became a bestseller and was adapted into a feature film. Dozens of her works have been adapted into movies and television shows. Clark returned to school, graduating cum laude from Fordham University with a B.A. in philosophy in 1979. She has since been awarded with an honorary doctorate from her alma mater, as well as honorary doctorates from seventeen other schools. As the bestselling fiction author in France, Clark was named Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture. Chosen as the Grand Master of the 2000 Edgar Awards, she is the namesake of the annual Mary Higgins Clark Award and recipient of the Horatio Alger Award. She lives in Saddle River, New Jersey.
Katie, una inteligente y atractiva abogada que ha enviudado recientemente, vive en una ciudad de Nueva Jersey sin imaginar que el destino la convertiria en blanco mortal de una aterradora conspiracion medica. Katie ha presenciado una serie de hechos inquietantes en el hospital en que estuvo internada por unos dias. Y precisamente ahora debe internarse por segunda vez para someterse a una leve intervencion quirurgica... Una novela recomendable para los que les gusta Mary Higgins Clark o las novelas de suspenso.
La protagonista de este misterio es una abogada de la fiscalía, recién enviudada, y bien simpática. Ella tiene que enfrentar su "sueño" de una mujer muerta, la pérdida de una conocida dulce, y problemas de la salud, mientras intenta resolver una investigación. La marcha acelerada de esta novela mantiene el interés. Los caracteres son bien desarrollados y distintos. Hay de todo - los atentos, los rectos, los prepotentes, y los verdaderos peligrosos. ¡Una historia magnifica y un libro bien escrito!
Unlike many of Clark's other books, in this one she gives the murderer away right from the start. The rest of the book is spent with the main character totally oblivious to the murderer, although she doesn't believe main suspect did it. This book can be compared to an Inspector Columbo mystery, where the identity of the murderer is known in the first five minutes, or in this case the first 50 pages, and the rest of the book is spend with the protagonist trying to figure out "whodunit." Like all of Clark's books, however, this book is high on suspense and thrills. It is sure to deliver a quick, enjoyable read!
THE CRADLE WILL FALL IS THE THIRD MARY HIGGINS CLARK BOOK THAT I HAVE READ(THE OTHER TWO WERE MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU AND YOU BELONG TO ME). THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. IT IS VERY SUSPENSEFUL AND THE KILLER IN MY OPINION IS ONE OF THE MOST PSYCHOTIC VILLIANS I HAVE EVER READ IN A BOOK! THIS BOOK IS REALLY GREAT. I TOTALLY RECOMMENED IT IF YOU WANT A VERY SUSPENSEFUL BOOK TO READ.
