Zan's son, Matthew, was stolen from her two years earlier. Now someone is trying to make her seem crazy and ruin her life. The reader knows all along that this really happened, but we have to watch Zan trying to convince her friends and the police of her innocence. When the villain is revealed, his motivation is hard to understand. We are left with the conclusion that he is just a crazy psychopath. At times I was frustrated with everyone doubting Zan, but the end came together in a satisfying way. This was an exciting story. Two years ago, a child was kidnapped. The mother, an interior decorator, never got over the loss and still believes that her son is alive. There are photos of the abduction. The woman in the pictures looks like the child's mother. Everyone turns against her because they believe she has kidnapped her child herself. It is difficult to prove her innocence, especially as the kidnapper takes on the role of the child's mother again. Also, her bank account is looted. Purchases are made by a stranger. The situation comes to a head as the mastermind decides that the child and his kidnapper must die.
...In typical Mary Higgins Clark fashion, this book kicked off with a bang and kept going with each and every turn of the page. Immediately, as with all 'who-done-it' books, you pick the most odvious of characters and the 'bad' guy but her writing style nevers lets you rest on that... maybe is becomes predictable that your first guess is rarely right but she has been known to throw enough curveballs in that you just never know. Switching from one 'bad' guy to another, wondering if she did it or didn't do it, really made this book a page-turner!... Fans will bite their nails to the quick while they wait for all the characters who know bits and pieces of the story to pool their knowledge before the malefactor can strike again. Experts on identity theft will marvel that no matter what raw material goes into the Clark hopper, it all comes out looking much the same. Ist gekürzt inPrestigeträchtige Auswahlen

Someone has gained access to her bank accounts, credit cards, personal background, and is now impersonating her. Then, with overwhelming circumstantial evidence stacked against her, Alexandra is arrested for the murder of a woman she claims she's never met. Or has she?

As a casual Mary Higgins Clark reader in my teens I expected more from it.
I couldn't really get myself to like it and was annoyed by the characters which all seemed flat and unreal. I was even more annoyed by the dialogues and had a hard time not to roll my eyes constantly.
By the end of the book I just wanted to facepalm myself because of its obviousness and unrealistic optimism. ( )
