The Cradle Will Fall

 The Cradle Will Fall by Mary Higgins Clark    336 pages

Start out with a cheating husband and his pregnant wife who turns up dead from a cyanide poisoning, or did she?   Did her cheating husband do it?    Then at the autopsy another clue comes in to play, wait did the husband do it or were both the husband and the wife cheating ?   What????   A head scratcher, sometimes just disgustingly gross when you think about it.  Where does this gal come up with this stuff?   Did she set up the premise for the film, "Centipede?"  Oooh!  The writing is good, the premise is gross.   Not a book I want to long think about but if you like murder mysteries with twiests you will like this one.
