just finished another mary higgins clark's suspense novel: all around the town. I guess so far this must be her work that I like best. it is gripping and unputdownable. brilliant. I was practically looking forward to my bus journey to and from office, just so that I had the chance to read the novel.

it is a story about a girl who got kidnapped at a tender age of four and got victimized for two years before she was returned home. 15 years later after she lost her parents, her alter personalities who helped her to cope during troubled times started to come back. she was then accused of murdering her professor, with all sorts of evidences, although she did not have any memory of the crime.
