About this ebook
The Met Gala ball: the world’s most glamorous fundraising party, an incredible night where the rich and famous wear extraordinary designer gowns and rub shoulders in New York’s famous Metropolitan Museum of Art. People would kill for an invitation.
Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Met’s board of trustees and one of the museum’s most generous donors, was found dead in the snow outside the building. Police soon discovered that she’d been thrown from the roof during the Met Gala, but no one has ever been arrested for her murder.
Although suspicion has always hovered around Virginia’s much younger boyfriend, there are a bevy of suspects. Laurie Moran decides to investigate Virginia’s death for her successful cold-cases television show, Under Suspicion. But the more she pries into Virginia’s murder, the closer Laurie comes to discovering just how dangerous an invitation to the Met Gala can be…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So who pushed the very wealthy Virginia Wakeling off the roof? Or could it have been an accident? Their family know who they suspect, but the Under Suspicion TV show gets involved in the unsolved murder and previously unknown facts are spilled.A really enjoyable book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Light, entertaining and easily predictable but an enjoyable "beach type read"
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was one of the worst books ever. No real story and flat characters. Do not bother.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Every Breath You Take is a good suspense story. All of the characters and settings are believable. There is a beginning middle and an end with a twist. It received four stars here if one enjoys reading Mary Higgins Clark books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Books by Mary Higgins Clark have always been my favourite. I love the classic "Who dunnit" stories, which are always told in a different way. This book is part of a series, which has Laurie Moran as it's main character. She is a journalist and solves old (unsolved) crimes on her TV show. Though it's a book series and the main characters evolve throughout the books, it can be read as a single book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As always, nothing you'd not expect from Mary Higgins Clark. I like the new characters and the ongoing series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Maybe a 3.5 because I liked some of the characters and I liked the ending lol.
I read blah blah blabbity blah for the first 200 pages. The last 15 pages made the book although it was a little flat.
Not a favorite. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Laurie Moran’s television show “Under Suspicion” is a hit with viewers and it holds an enviable success rate for solving the cold cases that it investigates for the show. When Ryan Nichols suggests their next case should be the Met Gala death of Virginia Wakeling, Laurie is hesitant. But as they dig into the case, it seems that Ivan Gray, Virginia’s much younger boyfriend and the one everyone believes committed the murder, may not be guilty after all. In this, the fourth “Under Suspicion” tale, all the expected characters return. Readers will find much to appreciate in the intriguing murder plot with its unexpected twists and turns leading to a surprising reveal. And readers are likely to be delighted with the continuation of the Alex/Laurie storyline. Recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Every Breath You Take by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke is a 2017 Simon & Schuster publication. This fifth installment in the “Under Suspicion’ series has Laurie reluctantly agreeing to investigate a cold case suggested to her by her new co-host, Ryan, who is still an insufferable jerk. The case involves Ivan, a fitness guru, suspected of murdering his much older lover for money. Charges were never brought, but the man lives under a constant shadow of suspicion and wants to see his name cleared. As Laurie and Ryan dig into the cold case, they discover the victim, Virginia Wakeling, a wealthy widow, had been thinking about changing her will, which sent her children, and her son in-law, into sheer panic mode.Could one of them have killed Virginia? Is Ivan as innocent as he claims?For me, this series is very appealing, not only because of the two fabulous authors, but because I really love the set up. A series focused solely on cold cases is right up my alley because of all the mystery tropes out there, cold cases are one of my all-time favorites. I have really enjoyed watching Laurie’s character bloom, as she slowly comes back to the land of the living after the tragic death of her husband. There is a little romantic angst tossed in, along with the mystery, which is a nice addition to the story, as well.This particular segment is just as fun as the first four installments have been, although, I must confess, I didn’t feel a connection with the suspects or even the victim, in this case, even after all the facts were presented. I found myself thinking that I didn’t really like most of the characters this time around, which muted the feeling of vindication a little bit. But, I couldn’t decide who was trustworthy, or who to suspect, which at the end of the day, is the most important element of a mystery- trying to figure out whodunit! The suspense builds at a nice brisk pace, and kept me fully invested in the story, if not the characters.The dry spell in Laurie’s love life is about to come to head- one way or another- and I thought perhaps there was a bit more time spent on this area than in the past, but it was also something I thought should be resolved and was happy with how things turned out. Overall, I enjoy the light, clean mysteries these stories provide, and with the powerhouse team of MHC with Alafair Burke, the writing is always superb, giving their readers the type of entertaining stories they expect and enjoy, and will come back for time and time again. 3.5 stars
