Just Take My Heart

A Novel

De: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrado por: Jan Maxwell

The bestselling Queen of Suspense delves into a legal battle over the guilt or innocence of a man accused of murdering his wife, weaving in the mysterious medical phenomenon of a heart transplant recipient inheriting their donor’s traits and memories.

After famous actress Natalie Raines is found in her home, dying from a gunshot wound, police immediately suspect her theatrical agent and jealous soon-to-be ex-husband, Gregg Aldrich. But no charges are brought against him until two years later, when a career criminal suddenly claims Aldrich had tried to hire him to kill her.

The case is a plum assignment for attractive thirty-two-year-old assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace. She spends long hours preparing for the trial, and unaware of a seemingly well-meaning neighbor’s violent past, gives him a key to her home to care for her dog.

The high-profile trial makes headlines, threatening to reveal personal matters about Emily, such as the fact that she had a heart transplant—especially when she experiences eerie sentiments that defy all reason and continue even after the jury decides Gregg Aldrich’s fate.

But little does she know, now her own life is at risk...©2009 Mary Higgins Clark; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster

fantastic read

very good read. could not put it down. can't wait to read another by this author.

Clever, great story

The story begins fairly slowly, but becomes so engaging as it goes on. Mary makes you really care about her characters, and is such a thoughtful writer. God bless you Mary. You are missed!

Slow to begin but great to listen to once the story finally gets going.

Honestly I fell asleep when first starting to listen to this story. I had to restart a couple of times. Once the story finally became understood, I enjoyed listening.

Heart Pounding Plot

The book quickly jumped right into the mystery. Once I started listening, I found it hard to tear myself away from this book. The narration could have been better. I found the voices often sounded too similar. The author did a great job of developing the characters. I did find myself getting emotionally invested in several of the characters. Overall, I very good book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with lots of suspense.

Enjoyed It - From Start to Finish

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I was skeptical as to whether listening to a book would be just a good as reading the book. I could not put my Ipod down. Never a dull moment and Jan Maxwell did a wonderful job as the narrator.

Good twists

Very interesting twists and turns in the book. A lot of characters though so it does get a bit confusing at times but otherwise, a good listen. The narrator does a really good job.

Good read/ Mary Hiigi s Clark

I enjoy reading Mary Higgins Clark novels. I know what to expect. This story was familiar in Ms. Clark’s writings. It had tense moments, many characters that intertwined. And a somewhat surprise ending. Enjoyable read.

I Know Who Dunnit

I love that I know there's a murder and that I know who the murderer is, and love the surprise when it's not who I thought it was.

Good Read

Great book! The suspense keeps you guessing and very interested all the way to the end!

Very entertaining and surprise ending

This was a very enjoyable story. I could identify with the main characters and feel the way they seemed to feel. As always, this author has a way of grabbing the readers attention, right at the first! The ending was a surprise to me, but also made the pieces all fit to the mystery! Great book to recommend to all my reader friends!
