The premise of the book- "young wife with amnesia kills husband who happens to be a doctor and no-one believes in her innocence except for a scrappy reporter with a past" plays like a bad detective novel with a really dense set of supporting characters. This book was definitely not the caliber of earlier Mary Higgins Clark. The character's are one dimensional and the dialog is sometimes hilarious and often stilted (no-one talks or thinks this way). It appears that this one is simply a book that she had to write to get the publishers off her back.
