All By Myself, Alone

De: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrado por: Jan Maxwell

From the Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a thrilling mystery aboard a luxurious but deadly cruise.

Fleeing the disastrous and humiliating last-minute arrest of her fiancé on the eve of their wedding, Celia, an expert on gems and jewelry, is hoping to escape from reality on a glamorous cruise ship.

But it is not to be. On board in the most luxurious suite is the elderly and world-famous Lady Emily Harworth. Immensely wealthy, Lady Em is the owner of a priceless emerald necklace that she intends to leave to the Smithsonian on her death.

Three days later Lady Em is found dead—and the necklace is missing. Is it the work of her apparently devoted secretary, or her lawyer-executor, both of whom she had invited on board for the cruise?

Celia, with the help of her new friends Willy and Alvirah Meehan—who are splurging on their wedding anniversary—sets out to find who the killer is, not realizing that she may have put a target on her back.

Loved it!

As always, another very good mystery by one of my favorite authors. I highly recommended this book and all Mary Higgins Clark books. I collect her books and reread them over time.
Jan Maxwell has a pleasant and clear voice.

A Fun Read-But Needs Research

As always, MHC, wrote a good read. Recurring characters are enjoyable, albeit unrealistic. A crime solving geriatric lottery winning couple? Also, the notion of how a man overboard situation on a luxury cruise was handled was also beyond believe and I researched. That being said, as a weekend or vacation novel, it fills the bill.

Cruising over the high seas, the body count starts

Cruising over the high seas, the body count starts I love books about cruises what fun. I especially like books that the murders start racking up on day two. Kept me guessing got confused in a couple places but I guess that was my intention. They were a lot of characters to sort through but as always, Mary makes it doable. Her stories are rich with detail and embroidered with emotion. A good read, entertaining read and when I pick up again

VERY ENJOYABLE

Loved this story. The characters were well written. The story kept you engaged the entire time. I was dissappointed that it ended too soon. Wish it was a couple of hours longer. I recommend giving it a listen.

MHCs characters are always likable well thought out and completely enjoyable. love reading her work
