Laurie Moran's world shattered the day that her husband, Dr. Greg Moran, was shot and killed in front of their 3 year old son, Timmy. The masked gunman shouted that Laurie and Timmy were next as he fled the scene never to be seen again. Even 5 years later, that doesn't stop Laurie and her father from constantly looking over their shoulders all the time as they try to protect Timmy and Laurie from this monster with the blue eyes.
Now, Laurie works in the television industry producing shows that are reality based. She has come up with an idea that she believes will help further her career while also aiding in providing closure to families and friends of past crime victims. Her new show will revolve around old unsolved criminal cases using the real people that were involved at the time instead of actors to re-enact the events. The debut episode will be about a 20 year old murder that happened on the night of a Graduation Gala held for four friends that had just graduated from four different colleges. The Gala was a smashing success until the next morning when the mother of one of the girls was found dead, smothered in her bed.
Even though an extensive investigation is performed, the murderer is never discovered and the girls that were there that night have spent 20 years with people looking at them suspiciously. This is a fact that Laurie uses to talk the girls, now grown women, as well as other key players from that night into appearing in the episode.
The killer is closer than anyone knows and there is also another killer on the prowl hiding in plain sight. "Blue Eyes" has returned to keep his promise of killing both Laurie and her son.
What can anyone say about Mary Higgins Clark except that she just keeps producing some of the most amazing stories that any writer has ever told? I have been an enthusiastic fan of Ms. Clark ever since her first book. She caught me in her web of suspense and mystery and held me from that point on. While her writing style seems to have changed somewhat throughout the years, one thing remains a constant: she never fails to offer a book that readers simply cannot put down until they have reached the conclusion of it.
I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN is certainly no exception. This book starts with a slam-dunk beginning and continues to keep you enthralled as you try to unravel the mystery of the identities of these two separate murderers. It is a book that you will get lost in until the final page.
Once more, Mary Higgins Clark proves why she is consistently at the top of the best seller list.
