As Time Goes By: by Mary Higgins Clark | Conversation Starters


Betsy Grant is on trial for the murder of her husband, Ted Grant. She is emphatic that she did not commit the crime, but all the evidence is against her. The journalist covering the case, Delaney Wright, strongly believes in her innocence and sets out to investigate the case. She discusses the matter with her friends, Alvirah and Willy, and also tells them about her own background and how deeply she desired to get in touch with her birth mother. Meanwhile, Alan Grant, Ted’s only son, is in dire financial straits and is waiting for the trial to be over so that he can receive his inheritance. As the trial unfolds, the evidence against Betsy piles up. But is she innocent? If so, who is guilty?
