I'll Walk Alone

A Novel

By: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by: Jan Maxwell

Mary Higgins Clark’s thirtieth and most spine-chilling novel—“so good that it might as well have come with a soundtrack” (The Columbus Dispatch)—includes identity theft, revenge, and murder...

Alexandra “Zan” Moreland, a gifted, beautiful interior designer on the verge of a successful Manhattan career, is terrified to discover that somebody is not only using her credit cards, but may also be impersonating her in a scheme that involves the much more brutal crimes of kidnapping and murder. Already haunted by the disappearance of her own son, Matthew, kidnapped in broad daylight two years ago in Central Park, Zan has been left torn between hope and despair. Now, on what would be Matthew's fifth birthday, photos surface that seem to show Zan kidnapping her own child, followed by a chain of events that suggests somebody has stolen her identity.

Hounded by the press, under investigation by the police, attacked by both her angry ex-husband and a vindictive business rival, Zan, wracked by fear and pain and sustained only by her belief that Matthew is still alive, sets out to discover who is behind this cruel hoax. What she does not realize is that with every step she takes toward the truth, she is putting herself—and those she loves most—in mortal danger from the person who has ingeniously plotted out her destruction.

Another fun Mary Higgins Clark listen

A fun mystery which will keep you entertained. I thought I had figured out who the "bad guy" was but she had me fooled until close to the end. A nice, light mystery which isn't so scary that you have to leave all the lights on after listening!

Terrific!

Loved it. Very well written. Just when I thought I had solved the mystery, I was thrown another curve ball. Love Jan Maxwell. Her voice is wonderful. Here I go on to another Mary Higgins Clark mystery!

Good story, not my favorite

Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors. With that being said, this one was my least favorite so far. This story seemed to go on forever. Regardless, I’m still a fan and will continue to read her novels.

Good but fell short

I think the history is interesting and keep you engaged while listening. However, there are some aspects of the characters that are quite shallowly dealt.

Can't go wrong with Mary Higgins Clark

What did you love best about I'll Walk Alone?

A favorite author of mine for suspense.

What does Jan Maxwell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

My 1st audiobook. It takes some getting used to to stay focused. Having read the book made it a bit easier. I enjoyed her different voices.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is an emotional story. What are the ramifications on her son? How can she hold it together under the strain?

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the heroine's interior design career.
