I was number 46 on the hold list but I got lucky because we received the large print copy and I was able to snag it! It's a typical Mary Higgins Clark book - I'm never bored and it reads quickly and easily. In this latest book and elderly woman, Olivia, has been given two weeks to live. You would think at 83 with that prognosis she wouldn't really be able to do anything. But she is tough and despite the fatigue she manages to makes several trips in a car (with a driver!). She is searching for some inspiration from the spirit of her dead cousin, Catherine. (This is figuratively not literally!). Catherine was a nun and is now being considered for beatification in the Church. Catherine was a good, good person but she did have a couple of secrets - like a child she bore. Olivia has evidence of who that child grew up to be and also the identity of the father.
So let me just say that there is an inheritance involved, some scams going on in a family charitable foundation and people who are willing to kill to keep secrets hidden. Plenty of characters to love and to hate!
