Thoughts
Mary
Higgins Clark is one of my all-time favorite suspense writers. In All by Myself, Alone, Clark presents a
murder mystery at sea. It’s a quick, engaging read that’s divided into sections
that reveal the events of the six day voyage, which—as the synopsis indicates—includes
the murder of Lady Emily Haywood. Clark does a good job of presenting a variety
of characters that might have the motive to commit the crime, which left me
questioning whodunit until the end of the story.
