APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Mary Higgins Clark is an expert at tense whodunits with compelling love triangles—she sets the scene, draws us in, and skillfully starts peeling back the layers of mystery. I’ve Got My Eyes on You makes us care deeply about Aline, who’s grieving the murder of her teenage sister Kerry. But it's the friends and neighbors we meet during the investigation—like sweet special-needs student Jamie and his overprotective mother—who make Higgins Clark’s fictional community as familiar as our own.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in this disappointing suspense novel from MWA Grand Master Clark (All by Myself, Alone), 28-year-old Aline Dowling finds the body of her 18-year-old sister, Kerry, at the bottom of their parents' swimming pool at their home in Saddle River, N.J. A large wound at the base of Kerry's skull reveals that she was murdered. The immediate suspects are a brain-damaged neighbor, Jamie Chapman, and Kerry's boyfriend, Alan Crowley, with whom she had a recent fight. Then there's the unknown motorist who pulled over to help Kerry when she had a flat and proceeded to aggressively hit on her. Kerry's mother is convinced Alan is guilty, while Jamie's mother fears her son may have been involved. Homicide detective Mike Wilson teams up with Aline, recently appointed as a guidance counselor at the local high school, to investigate. Aline's attraction to two handsome suitors Mike and lacrosse coach Scott Kimball never generates much heat, and Jamie's confused story about the person he calls Big Guy, whom he saw hit Kerry and push her in the pool, remains a tantalizing unknown. This effort falls far short of Clark's best.
Customer Reviews
Well
Enjoyed this book but kind of new who the culprit was before the end, which for me is saying a lot. It was a good read & I think others will enjoy it.
Great Mystery Novel
A fabulous read with a great plot and fun to read
I’ve got my eyes on you
I really enjoyed this book, I read it really quickly. The only thing I noticed is that the author clearly hasn’t been around young people in a while judging by how she wrote the conversations to be, it felt forced and clunky and a bit dated honestly. Second, the conversations and interactions overall for all of the characters felt strange at times. There were many times I found myself thinking that the conversations aren’t how people really talk. I enjoyed the book overall but there were some things that really took me out of it.
