I've Got You Under My Skin

By: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by: Jan Maxwell

In this gripping #1 New York Times bestseller from Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark, a Manhattan ER doctor is brazenly murdered in front of his young son in a city playground. Five years later, his killer is still at large.

When Laurie Moran’s husband was brutally murdered, only three-year-old Timmy saw the face of his father’s killer. Five years later his piercing blue eyes still haunt Timmy’s dreams. Laurie is haunted by more—the killer’s threat to her son as he fled the scene: “Tell your mother she’s next, then it’s your turn…”

Now Laurie is dealing with murder again, this time as the producer of a true-crime, cold-case television show. The series will launch with the twenty-year-old unsolved murder of Betsy Powell. Betsy, a socialite, was found suffocated in her bed after a gala celebrating the graduation of her daughter and three friends. The sensational murder was news nationwide. Reopening the case in its lavish setting and with the cooperation of the surviving guests that night, Laurie is sure to have a hit on her hands. But when the estranged friends begin filming, it becomes clear each is hiding secrets…small and large.

And a pair of blue eyes is watching events unfold, too…

Enjoyable to listen to

Overall I enjoyed the book, even though the characters voices of Alison and Lorie were a little too whining for my taste. But overall, it was good.

Very enjoyable

Maxwell is a good reader. I look forward to more stories from both of them.

Struggled

Narrator, Jan Maxwell was great. The story lagged, the players had no interesting characteristcs. I'm sorry to say this, I usually love MHC's books.

So-So

First of all, I'm not sure how the title of the book worked in conjunction with the storyline. I found that the narrator was lacking in delivering more unique voice styles for each character..a couple of them sounded the same..it was a bit difficult for me to distinguish one from the other. The storyline was interesting & it did keep me in suspense but it was somewhat confusing in the beginning trying to keep up with all of the characters involved. I regretted my choice.

Narration

I greatly enjoyed this book. Mary Higgins Clark never disappoints! Also, very well done by Jan Maxwell.
