Lights Out Tonight is a lightweight suspense novel that has great characters, an intricate plot and enough twists in the story to keep everyone guessing.
Caroline Enright is a new member of the KEY News staff. Currently doing reviews of stage and screen performances, she is sent to interview Belinda Winthrop who gives another award winning performance before disappearing from her home with no obvious suspects for the police--but lots of suspects for the reader! There is the totally obsessed and recluse portrait painter, the understudy for Winthrop's part, the ex-con groundskeeper dealing in drugs, the play's director who is over committed and fears losing the backing for his play and, even closer to home, Caroline's husband is acting strange whenever the unsolved death of a friend is brought up from a couple of years ago. All seem suspicious and could be the killer!
As always, Mary Jane Clark does a masterful job of taking all the story threads and weaving them into a fascinating mystery with an ending that most will not see coming.
