In this exciting thriller from Mary Higgins Clark, the #1
New York Times bestselling “Queen of Suspense,” a news
reporter tries to find her birth mother just as she is
assigned to cover the high-profile trial of a woman accused
of murdering her wealthy husband.
Television journalist Delaney Wright is on the brink of
stardom after she begins covering a sensational murder trial
for the six p.m. news. She should be thrilled, yet her
growing desire to locate her birth mother consumes her
thoughts. When Delaney’s friends Alvirah Meehan and her
husband Willy offer to look into the mystery surrounding her
birth, they uncover a shocking secret they do not want to
reveal.
On trial for murder is Betsy Grant, widow of a wealthy
doctor who has been an Alzheimer’s victim for eight years.
When her once-upon-a-time celebrity lawyer urges her to
accept a plea bargain, Betsy refuses: she will go to trial
to prove her innocence.
Betsy’s stepson, Alan Grant, bides his time nervously as the
trial begins. His substantial inheritance hangs in the
balance—his only means of making good on payments he owes
his ex-wife, his children, and increasingly angry creditors.
As the trial unfolds, and the damning evidence against Betsy
piles up, Delaney is convinced that Betsy is not guilty and
frantically tries to prove her innocence. A true classic
from Mary Higgins Clark, As Time Goes By is a thrilling read
by a master of the genre.
