I Heard That Song Before

This week is spring break, so what you think I am doing? Working. Yep, a full 40 hours! It has actually been good, as my job allows me to answer phones and study or read, or write at the same time (truly, an ideal job). Even though I didn’t go anywhere exciting for spring break, I did decide that I was not going to do ANY homework. Instead I have been using the time at work to get in some much needed fun reading (aka, non textbook reading!)

I love Mary Higgins Clark books and was super excited to find one a the library that came out when I was in Brazil, called I heard that Song Before. I checked it out, and started reading it Wednesday night. I worked 9 ½ hours yesterday, giving me lots of time to read all day and I finished it. I have to say, work has never gone so quickly!

I heard that Song Before is a story about a young woman, Kay, who has a whirlwind romance and marries the love of her life, Peter (a very handsome billionaire). Within the first month of their marriage Peter is charged with two murders (both of which happened 22 years ago, and one of which involves a person very close to Kay) and is a person of interest in another.

Kay is convinced of her husband’s innocence, and will do anything to free him from the charges and bring him safely home. But as Kay digs deeper and deeper into the case, she finds that it may be her own safety that is in jeopardy.

I give this book a full five stars. I LOVED it! Like I said, I am a huge Clark fan. Sometimes I find her books a little gruesome for me, but this one was not at all. I am always surprised at how Clark manages to keep you guessing who the murderer is until the very end. I always think I know, and I am always wrong.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery!

Happy Reading!
