Criminal defense attorney Emily Graham has just purchased her ancestral home, a Victorian house in the seaside resort town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Intervening owners had contracted for an in ground swimming pool in the backyard. As the pool is being dug, a skeleton is found and Emily is "haunted by two grisly murders separated by more than a century, yet somehow inextricably linked..." Three murders in the past, two in the near present, and the anniversary of the third past murder is looming. The past and present are obviously linked. Is another murder imminent? As always, Mary Higgins Clark has given us a captivating, suspense-filled read, raising the possibility of reincarnation. There is an excellent Q & A discussion at the back of the book with the author.
