About this audiobook

The third thrilling novel in the Under Suspicion series by #1 New York Times bestselling author and “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke follows television producer Laurie Moran as she tries to help a woman she believes was wrongfully convicted of killing her fiancé.

Fifteen years after being convicted of murdering her fiancé—the famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III—Casey Carter is determined to clear her name. Though she has served her time, she finds that she is still living under suspicion. Going on the true crime show Under Suspicion seems to be her only hope to prove her innocence.

The show’s producer, Laurie Moran, also believes in her innocence and wants to help Casey. But with Alex Buckley taking a break from the show—cooling his potential romance with Laurie—Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host in Ryan Nichols, a hot shot legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, a Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor. Ryan has no problems with steering the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey’s case because he’s so certain she’s guilty.

An egomaniacal new boss, a relentless gossip columnist, and Casey’s longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey’s innocence—that is, if she’s innocent.

    The story was excellent but the SCRIBD recording had many gaps in the story so we missed significant parts.

    Like all Mary Higgins Clark books, the pace is quick. The story moves quickly, without skipping over the salient facts of the investigation. The pieces fall into place just when they should, leaving enough clues to make the mystery believable in the end, without making the real killer too obvious. It’s a fast, fun read, with enough mystery and suspense to keep the pages turning. Even though this a part of a series, it reads well as a standalone. As I a side-line I'd like to say if you have never read anything by the co-author, Alafair Burke you will be in for a real treat to do so.

    Another terrific installment from the Under Suspicion series. I have read so many MHC books that I know the formula and figured out whodunnit very early on but it was an enjoyable and fun mystery.

    Casey Carter, released from prison fifteen years after her conviction for manslaughter in the death her fiancé, has always maintained her innocence. With no way to clear her name, she approaches Laurie Moran, who produces the television show, “Under Suspicion,” in which unsolved crimes are investigated.Casey, once dubbed the Sleeping Beauty Killer by the press, asks Laurie to look into the murder of her fiancé, a murder that occurred while she supposedly slept. Reluctance on the part of the show’s host does not deter her; nor does she allow her mother’s reticence to keep her from seeking the truth. She offers Laurie a list of possible suspects, each with a secret to protect, and the investigation begins. Is Casey actually the killer or will Laurie uncover new evidence that will clear her name?Readers will find much to appreciate in the tale peopled by well-developed characters, an intriguing plot, and enough twists and turns to spur the story along to its somewhat predictable reveal. Recommended.
