As Time Goes By by Mary Higgins Clark MYS Cla

I have read all of Ms. Clark's books so I was delighted to know that she had written another one. Delaney Wright has known forever that she was adopted and not surprisingly she has always longed to know her birth mother.  As is often the case she didn't want to hurt the feelings of her adoptive parents.  But since they have moved to Florida, Delaney feels that this is a good time to get some help in her quest.  She turns to her friends Alvirah and Willy (well-known characters from previous books) who are rather good detectives in that Miss Marple way.

In the meantime she has also been promoted to an evening news anchor and has been assigned to follow the trial of Betsy Grant. Betsy had been married for a long time to a successful surgeon. Six years before our story begins her husband began to act differently and was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.  Two years ago she quit her teaching job to be home full-time to care for him with some help.  When he is found dead one morning it is assumed he died from his disease.  But at the funeral home the undertaker noticed something and it is found that his death was homicide.  Now she is on trial and things are not looking good.  The worlds of Delaney and Betsy are going to collide.

It was a fast read.  Her books are certainly not psychological thrillers but I always find them entertaining.
