Every Breath You Take


 Shirley J.                 Adult Fiction            Reality T.V. Show,  Cold Case Files


Every Breath You Take by Mary Higgins Clark (Under Suspicion Series)   287 pages
Laurie Moran is the host of a reality based t.v. show, "Under Suspicion,' which delves into unsolved criminal cold cases to try and solve them through interviews with the witnesses and suspects from the time of the event and by researching all the clues.   Her new co-host Ryan Nichols is the nephew of one of Laurie's boss' friends and landed the job and seems like he is trying to take over the show.   When Ryan sets up an interview with his personal trainer, Ivan Gray, who was under suspicion of murdering his much older wealthy girlfriend 3 years ago, Laurie is ready to hit the roof until she looks deeper into the details of the case.  Wealthy widow, Trustee on the Board of the Met who gives money and expensive presents to her lover and when her grown children and nephew give her grief about his being a golddigger, she decides to cut them all out of her will and donate her vast fortune to charity leaving them only their father's company to run or run in the ground as their inheritance and while her husband suggested leaving her nephew a quarter million s his inheritance, she cuts him down to $50,000 due to his gambling addiction .  Word gets back to her kids and nephew of her plans and the next thing she is tossed off the roof of the Met during a lavish fund-raiser.  The suspect pool has increased significantly.  While the siblings and cousin are all pointing the finger at the boyfriend are their hands completely clean?  Good book, excellent murder mystery.  I will be reading all 7 books in this series.   I recommend this one to highschoolers on up and expecially for murder mystery fans.
