Author: Mary Higgins Clark
Description: When Laurie Kenyon, a twenty-one-year-old student, is accused of murdering her English professor, she has no memory of the crime. Her fingerprints, however, are everywhere. When she asks her sister, attorney Sarah, to mount her defense, Sarah in turn brings in psychiatrist Justin Donnelly. Kidnapped at the age of four and victimized for two years, Laurie has developed astounding coping skills. Only when the unbearable memories of those lost years are released can the truth of the crime come out -- and only then can the final sadistic plan of her abductor, whose obsession is stronger than ever, be revealed.
Review: I just finished reading All Around The Town,by Mary Higgins Clark, yesterday and I was very impressed with it. All Around The Town is about a girl named Laurie who is abducted at a very young age but then returned to her family two years later. But during the two years she was kidnapped, Laurie suffered severe physical and mental abuse. The horrible things she went through during those two years caused her to develop multiple personality disorder. She is haunted by her memories and fear that if she tells what happened to her during those two years, and who did it, she will be punished.
Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book. It is very suspenseful and I had a very hard time putting it down. From the first page you are entertained and you never have to wait for it to get interesting. I highly recommend you go out and get this book as soon as possible.
