You should read it: Where are you now? By Mary Higgins Clark

Where are you now? is the latest novel by Mary Higgins Clark, the best-selling American author of over 20 so-called suspense novels.

It tells the story of Carolyn, who goes on a search to find her brother Mack, who has been missing for the last ten years. Putting her own life in jeopardy, she slowly uncovers the truth about what happened to her brother.

The book also tells the story of a serial killer who is preying the streets of Manhattan. Four women are already missing and are presumed to be dead. Charles Mackenzie, better known as Mack, has also been missing for over ten years.

No one has seen him or heard from him, save from a phone call he makes to his mother once a year to tell her he is ok. His sister Carolyn is fed up with this, and she is determined to find him. She wants to know where he is, and what exactly happened to make him go into hiding.

Of course, at first her search raises more questions than it answers. Not only that, but Mack did not go missing for nothing, and in digging into his past, Carolyn is putting herself in danger as well.

In the meantime, the search for the serial killer continues, and one cannot help but wonder if maybe there somehow is a connection between the mysterious serial killer and the brother who has gone missing.

The police certainly seem to think so, and Carolyn herself cannot just ignore everything that she finds out about Mack and his disappearance.

I have read quite a few of Clark’s books, and what I love about them is the fact that they usually feature strong, independent women who have to face their problems relying only on their own courage and intelligence.

I also love the way in which the suspense is usually written. Throughout the book, you keep thinking everyone is guilty, but who exactly is the killer is never revealed, not until the very end.
If you enjoy a good suspense novel like me, you should definitely check out Where are you now?
