Nighttime Is My Time

De: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrado por: Jan Maxwell

"The definition of an owl had always pleased him: a night bird of prey...sharp talons and soft plumage which permits noiseless flight...applied figuratively to a person of nocturnal habits. 'I am The Owl,' he would whisper to himself after he had selected his prey, 'and nighttime is my time.'"

Jean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown to attend the 20-year reunion of Stonecroft Academy alumni, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted, Alison Kendall, a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood agent, drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim. Alison is the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end.

Adding to Jean's sense of unease is a taunting, anonymous fax she received, referring to her daughter -- a child she had given up for adoption 20 years ago.

At the award dinner, Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed by the unsolved murder of a young woman who may hold the key to the identity of the Stonecroft killer. Jean does not suspect that among the distinguished people she is greeting is The Owl, a murderer nearing the countdown on his mission of vengeance against the Stonecroft women who had mocked and humiliated him, with Jean as his final victim.

Not disappointed

As always i loved reading Mary Higgings Clark books, but the interview with her at the end was the highlight of my day… left me wanting to talk to her more… sadly i believe she has past sometime ago… i will research see if there are more interviews recorded

Sensational

I have read many books and mysteries, but this one is outstanding! The audiobook and reader had me so mesmerized that I carried my laptop everywhere I went and for the length of the audiobook I never put it down and even took it to bed with me until the story was over. Mary Higgins Clark is an outstanding writer and I now plan on ordering more audiobooks written by her.

Another golden winner

Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors of all time. The imagery behind this book is amazing and a very entertaining reading. Mary Higgins Clark never seems to stop surprising me. Can’t wait to read the other books from a true artist and author. It was a pleasure hearing for boys on her point of you on why she wrote this book. Someday I really hope to meet her shake her hand.

Has more good points than bad....

For the most part this was a good listen. The story line dragged out at times that I felt were unnecessary however overall it was good and I am glad that I purchased/listened. Jan Maxwell is my favorite by far!

Loved it!!

I loved this book. The way it was written and the way the book was read was great.

There’s a reason she’s my favorite author

This book kept me guessing until the very end. It was captivating and entertaining. It was also horrifying at times.

Scary!

This book is full of suspense and stark terror!
I am listening to all of Mary Higgins Clark’s books this year.

The Owl and it's Prey
