Publisher's summary

In the latest thrilling collaboration from number-one New York Times best-selling author and “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke, television producer Laurie Moran must solve the kidnapping of her fiancée’s nephew - just days before her wedding.

Television producer Laurie Moran and her fiancée, Alex Buckley, the former host of her investigative television show, are just days away from their mid-summer wedding, when things take a dark turn. Alex’s seven-year-old nephew, Johnny, vanishes from the beach, triggering a search party. Witnesses recall Johnny playing in the water and collecting shells behind the beach shack, but no one remembers seeing him in the afternoon. As the sun sets, Johnny’s skim board washes up to shore, and everyone realizes that he could be anywhere, even under the water.

A ticking clock, a sinister stalker, and a fresh romance combine in this exhilarating follow up to the best-selling You Don’t Own Me - another riveting page-turner from the “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime Alafair Burke.

another good one

This series has been great to listen to. Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good suspense story. I have read Mary Higgins Clarke books since I was a teenager. I still enjoy them. This partnership with Alafair has made great series of stories.

Another Hit!

I finished this book today as I found out this morning while watching the news that Mary Higgins Clark died this year. She is an exceptional author. I have been reading her books ever since I was in Junior High. I particularly love the Under Suspicion series. I hope that Altair Burke will continue writing them, channeling Mary Higgins Clark.

Whoever reads this review, I suggest you listen to the first book in this series - you won't be disappointed if you love MHC. Rest in peace.

Very Disappointing

I have waited so long for another under suspension novel and this was the biggest disappointment. It felt more like an independent novel than part of the under suspension books. Very disappointing!

Good book, awful narration!

I always enjoy the Under Suspicion novels but felt like the narrator was reading from “Better Homes and Gardens”. Yuck. What a mismatch! Still another enjoyable novel!!!

Wonderful wholesome Series

These books are not psychological thrillers filled with sex and gore, however they are clean interesting well thought out suspenseful books that will keep you interested and immerse you in the lives of the diverse cast of characters. Love the under suspicion premise and this was one of the stronger books in the series. I appreciate that these books are fairly upbeat and I can always count on them to have a happy ending, I am engaged and what to know what is next without feeling completely stressed out about the events unfolding!

Excellent plot

I kept expecting my theory all the way through but I was wrong. Great narration of course and the storyline was intriguing. Can’t wait to read another

Fantastic

Great story and entertaining characters. January LaVoy is also the best narrator she makes the characters real.
