Let Me Whisper in Your Ear

by Mary Jane Clark

Book Overview

A tension-filled thriller from a rising star writer, Let Me Whisper in Your Ear is Mary Jane Clark's best book yet. Reporter Laura Walsh's KEY News colleagues jokingly call her the "Angel of Death" because of her uncanny ability to have celebrities' obituaries ready to roll-even for people who are not expected to die. It seems someone's been "whispering" in Laura's ear, tipping her off to secrets about some of the rich and famous who don't have long...

Page-Turner

I saw this book in a bookstore and bought it after reading the synopsis. It was a good buy and I read it in one day. The book is written sometimes from many different people's viewpoints,but it isn't confusing like some books are when they are written like that. It focuses on the death of a little boy that happened thirtysomething years ago and the more recent death of a reporter who jumped off the roof of the building she lived in. It's ruled a suicide, but Laura Walsh wonders whether it really is or not. Now she begins the journey of going through the reporter's past. But will the past also include of shocking revelations that she wished she never had found out? Will she finally find out what her mother's haunting words meant that she told her father so many years ago? She also soon finds out that somehow the suicide case and the case of the boy who died thirtysomething years ago are tied in someway. How she doesn't know. But she intends to find out what happened that night to the little boy and how he died and why. All the questions and many more are answered in the end. Get this book and find out what the answers are! Good book for summer reading on a vacation.

She keeps getting better

This was my third Mary Jane book and I absolutely loved it. I read it so fast because it was so interesting with different plots going and because her chapters are short. I am one of those people that enjoy books that have short chapters. This book also appealed to me because Mary Jane writes about people in distress, like Laura's father who is a hopeless alcoholic and her new boyfriend who has a drug habit. Nice to know that there are authors out there that keep in touch with the real world and know how to work it into a plot line without demoralizing people because they have human weaknesses. I can't wait to read her other books.

Better and Better

As someone old enough to have actually visited Palisades Amusement Park, Mary Jane Clark's latest thriller was a wonderful trip down Memory Lane. Even more fascinating is Clark's masterful tale of murder past and present. For those of us who have marveled when TV News anchors can present a whole videography of a famous person's life just minutes after they die, replete with music and voice-over, Clark gives a behind-the-scenes view of "obit" writers and, in Laura Walsh, Whisper's attractive heroine, we get an inkling of what producing such video obituaries can do to someone's self-identity and reputation. Clark also paints a vivid picture of an evening "news magazine" show like "60 Minutes" and all the egos that are at stake with every segment that airs. This is a full-tilt-boogie psychological thriller and, with Let Me Whisper in Your Ear, Mary Jane Clark is getting better and better!

Great read!

I read this book in four hours and loved it. Mary Jane Clark keeps you guessing as to who the killer is and it is always the one you least suspect.
