On The Street Where You Live

By: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by: Jan Maxwell

In the gripping novel from the Queen of Suspense, a woman is haunted by two grisly murders separated by more than a century, yet somehow inextricably linked...

Following a nasty divorce and the trauma of being stalked, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham leaves Albany to work in Manhattan. Craving roots, she buys her ancestral home, a Victorian house in the seaside resort town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Her family sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily’s forebears, Madeline Shapley, then a young girl, disappeared.

As the house is renovated and a pool dug, a skeleton is found and identified as Martha Lawrence, a young Spring Lake woman who vanished several years ago. Within her hand is the finger bone of another woman, with a ring—a Shapley family heirloom—still on it. Determined to find the connection between the two murders, Emily becomes a threat to a seductive killer...who chooses her as the next victim.

Kept me interested throughout the story

It was interesting and thought provoking. Interesting to see different perspectives throughout the story. Main character very easy to relate to and feel for.

Good As Usual

Loved the story. The narrative was good, and you aren't sure who it is until the end.

Perfectly chilling

This has been one of my favourite books since I was 15. It’s my favourite MHC by far. Her ability to bring characters to life makes her works chilling and believable. The narrator is a bit stiff and formal sounding but not horrible. The story is still fantastic!

One of those that will keep you guessing

Very good plot and story telling - was pretty dark and twisty but not in a bad way. Really kept me on my toes

Great story

A little confusing but worth the read I love Mary Higgins Clark! Creates a picture of the Jersey Shore
