8.16.2024 - It Had To Be You

It Had to Be You by Mary Higgins Clark 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest collaboration between Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Laurie Moran works on a podcast that investigates cold cases where someone has been living under suspicion.  This chapter involves a 10-year-old murder where identical twins were suspected, but never charged, with their parents' murder.  The twins have been estranged ever since, each blaming the other, and their younger sister is desperate to clear their names.  

I am a long-time fan of Mary Higgins Clark and it's wonderful that Alafair Burke has continued her legacy of writing such good mysteries.  This one was no exception - the idea that one or both of identical twins could have committed murder is intriguing.  But the family, ripped apart by the murders, was destroyed even more by the suspicions.  There were plenty of suspects here and I was surprised as always by the ending.  Bravo!
