While my pretty one sleeps. — Reader discussion

I was really drawn in by Mary Higgins Clark's ability to create tension from the very first page. The pacing kept me hooked, and the way the plot unfolded with twists felt natural, not forced. I especially appreciated how the characters were developed beyond just their roles in the mystery — it made the stakes feel personal. The atmosphere had this eerie undercurrent that perfectly matched the title’s haunting vibe. Did anyone else find the secondary characters added unexpected layers to the story, or was it just me?

One moment that stood out to me was when the protagonist confronts the secrets of her past while trying to solve the current mystery. It added a fascinating psychological element that elevated the suspense beyond a typical whodunit. Clark's writing balances intrigue with emotional moments so well that you care about the outcome on multiple levels. I’d definitely recommend this to readers who enjoy thrillers that focus on character motivations as much as plot twists. What did you think about the ending—did it satisfy your expectations or leave you wanting more?
