Book Review:
Mary Higgins Clark, the beloved ''Queen of Suspense,'' delivers another gripping page-turner with ''The Second Time Around.'' The story follows Carley, a young widow who rebuilds her life by taking a position at a biotech company that claims to have made a groundbreaking cancer discovery. But when the company's founder disappears amid allegations of fraud, Carley finds herself caught in a web of deception, danger, and murder. Clark masterfully weaves together elements of corporate intrigue, personal drama, and classic suspense. As Publishers Weekly noted in their acclaim for Clark's work, there's ''something special about Clark's thrillers'' — particularly the compassion she extends to her characters. This novel is a testament to her enduring talent as one of the best storytellers in the genre.
