I really enjoyed the stories. Usually I don't like short stories but this was a nice change.
I am a big fan of Mary Higgins Clark books and this one did not disappoint.

This was a masterful offering by veteran storyteller Mary Higgins Clark. This is a book of short stories, the first of which was one which the author had left unfinished for many years, finally bringing it to our attention in this volume. The book also features her first published story "Stowaway".Of course, the inclusion of such favorites as Alvirah and Willy Meehan, and former President Henry Britland IV and his "Girl Sunday" (his wife) Sandra, make this book extremely pleasurable to read.

MHC at her best ! All mystery writers should embrace the art of the short story and MHC does it wonderfully.

The title piece in this short story collection is a tale begun in 1972 and recently completed for this book. At the center of the tale are super-model Alexandra Saunders and her look-alike sister, Janice, newly married to attorney Michael Broad. Janice and Michael have come to New York to spend a week with Alexandra . . . but she has vanished. Alexandra’s agent, a photographer, and a private pilot are all desperately searching for her, but Janice and Michael soon find themselves in a race to find her first . . . someone has already been murdered and everyone fears that Alexandra will be the next to die.The other stories, all previously published, are treats that attest to the storytelling talent of the author.Recommended.
