    About this audiobook

    A stunning tale of murder, glamour, and romance, While My Pretty One Sleeps is the most exciting novel yet from Mary Higgins Clark, the Queen of Suspense.

    Neeve Kearny may be the only person in New York worried about the disappearance of Ethel Lambston. Ethel, a bestselling author famous for her juicy exposés, is one of the best customers at Neeve’s exclusive Madison Avenue boutique. But Ethel’s ex-husband, her parasitical nephew, and the fashion moguls skewered in her latest article all have reason to be glad she’s no longer around.

    When Ethel Lambston is found with her throat cut, Neeve’s memories of her mother’s long-unsolved murder loom up once again. Now as an innocent witness in the Lambston investigation, Neeve is drawn into a new nightmare...a sinister labyrinth of greed and ambition that will lead her into mortal danger...

      Very interesting story.
    • 4/5
      I just hope this one would be like other of her books, having more clues for us to guess who is the murderer! But still, it's an interesting story!
    • 5/5
      As always ... Mary Higgins Clark simply is the best in this genre!!! ... and there are many more tantalizing stories to enjoy thanks to her extraordinarily productivity!!! Thank you Mary???????
      P.s. Yes, I do love the feeling of a solved mystery ... but I am also thrilled to move on into a new one D.s.
