Let Me Call You Sweetheart

By: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by: CJ Critt

From America’s Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark, an investigation into the connection between a long-ago murder and a plastic surgeon’s obsession with a perfect face catapults prosecutor Kerry McGrath into the strange and ominous territory of those so hungry for beauty they’ll kill for it.

It’s a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeon’s office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughter’s scars will heal, she spies a familiar-looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of déjà vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting face—on another woman—she has an intense flash of recognition: it’s the face of Suzanne Reardon, the “Sweetheart Murder” victim, killed more than ten years ago! But for what possible reason would Dr. Smith be giving his patients the face of a dead woman?

As Kerry immerses herself in a fresh investigation, each new piece of evidence she unearths reveals a disturbing cache of questions. Not only does everyone involved want to keep the case closed, but it’s also clear somebody will stop at nothing to keep it sealed forever.

Interweaving fascinating characters with deeply daring, staggeringly unpredictable plot twists, Mary Higgins Clark reminds us that she is, indeed, America’s Queen of Suspense.

Disturbing subject matter but a great read!

This one kept you guessing. Just when I thought I had it figured out there was a twist or turn. Good subject matter and scarily something that could actually take place.

Not my favorite narrator - just okay.

Read is a great one!

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

I thought this book was great! I was engaged throughout the entire book. C.J. Critt is my favorite narrator of all time.

Excellent book and narrator!

A very good intriguing book with lots of twists and turns. The narrator is excellent and does both female and male voices very well

Marvelous suspense thriller!

Author Mary Higgins Clark is a national treasure as a uniquely talented story teller. She released her first in 1968 and released her 51st this year at age 90. This suspense thriller was released in 1995. It's the story of prosecutor Kerry McGrath who is convinced that a man convicted 11 years earlier of killing his wife is innocent. At great risk to her legal career and personal safety, and the safety of her young daughter, she decides she must prove the man's innocence. Like with most of her novels, Mary Higgins Clark comes up with a great plot twist at the end. Narration is excellent.

I hesitate to call this a legal thriller because there is no courtroom drama.

Good book

Good story. Unfortunately I really did not enjoy the narrator. I felt like she was reading me a children’s book.
Glad I finished the book.
