From Publishers Weekly Bestseller Clark (Dancing in the Dark) delivers another well-crafted thriller. When Caroline Enright, a 34-year-old film and drama critic for TV's KEY to America morning show, lands an assignment to cover the Warrenstown, Mass., theater festival, she anticipates combining it with a getaway with her new husband, Nick, and a chance to bond with her aloof 20-year-old stepdaughter, Meg, who's an apprentice at the festival. The last thing Caroline expects as she leaves New York City for the scenic Berkshires is that she'll have to draw on her journalistic skills to unveil a ruthless murderer. With only six months of broadcast experience under her belt, Caroline has a lot to prove with the piece she has planned about Oscar-winning actress Belinda Winthrop, who's starring in a production of a new play rumored to be a contender for a Pulitzer Prize. But when Belinda mysteriously disappears, Caroline launches herself into an investigation—and finds Meg's life and her own in danger. With fresh characters, an idyllic setting and plot twists that will grip readers until the suspenseful resolution, Clark's latest is sure to be a summer hit. Author tour.

Good read.
Mary Jane Clark has personal history in the news business, and this makes her books in this series very interesting. Her characters are always people you learn to care about, and the politics of the newsroom is enlightening. Good read.

Mary Jane Clark Does it Again
I mistakenly picked up a Mary Jane Clark a few years ago. Since that day I cannot stop reading her books. She knows how to maintain her characters from book to book and really know how to keep the suspense going. Keep up the GREAT work
