The Second Time Around

A Novel

By: Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by: Jan Maxwell

The Queen of Suspense, Mary Higgins Clark, delivers a gripping tale of deception and tantalizing twists that could have been ripped from today’s headlines.

When Nicholas Spencer, the charismatic head of a company that has developed an anticancer vaccine, disappears without a trace, reporter Marcia “Carley” DeCarlo is assigned the story. Word that Spencer, if alive, has made off with huge sums of money—including the life savings of many employees—doesn’t do much to change Carley’s already low opinion of Spencer’s wife, Lynn, who is also Carley’s stepsister and who everyone believes is involved. But when Lynn’s life is threatened, she asks Carley to help her prove that she wasn’t her husband’s accomplice. As the facts unfold, however, Carley herself becomes the target of a dangerous, sinister group that will stop at nothing to get what they want.©2004 Mary Higgins Clark; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster

Excellent!!!

This book kept my interest from start to finish and was one of Mary Higgins Clark's best books and as usual Jan Maxwell was excellent!!

Enjoy it

Mary Higgins clark has her unique style obviously printed on this book, and even I enjoyed it at some extent I felt like something was missing. The end was rushed, and this time some things were way too obvious different than other of her books.

One of Her Bests!!

I was literally in the dark until the last few minutes!! Very well written and performed by Jan Maxwell. I highly recommend this book!

The very best of MHC!

You won’t easily guess the ending to this one!
All of her books are great but in this one Mary Higgins Clark outdid herself!

Believe in Miracles

We ,throughout the ages,have been
Trying to find cures for cancer but
Without succsess.would'nt be wonderful if that was in our future.
