"See the pyramids along the Nile Watch the sun rise from a tropic isle Just remember, darling, all the while You belong to me..."

You Belong To Me is a nice, fast read for avid mystery readers stuck in the house on a rainy day. Mary Higgins Clark uses short chapters and a boat load of characters to advance the story which is fitting since a serial killer is preying upon lonely women on cruise liners.

Susan is a former assistant district attorney turned psychologist and radio host. When she inquires on-air about a missing woman she sets off a murderous chain reaction she never could have predicted. She still has the instinct of a District Attorney and will need it as she explores the disappearance of Regina Clausen. Clausen disappeared three years prior off the cruise liner Gabriella. She had been seen getting off the ship, but never made it back.

The suspense level quickly mounts in the novel as Susan investigates Clausen's disappearance and "Karen's" accident. With each discovery soon comes the realization that the killer is very close to her. Can she stop him before she becomes one of his feathers in the wind?

If you like suspense and murder books, give it a read. This novel, along with most of the Mary Higgins Clark novels that I have read, was an enjoyable mystery.
