Great Mary higgens clark novel! even for an 11 year old

I was 11 and checked this book out from the library getting queer looks from the librarian and my mom! they said oh you'll read that fine when they really didn't think I'd even start reading it. From start to finish it is suspensful about lacey farrel witnessing a murder, placed in the witness protection program and being hunted by a mass murderer. My best friend even grabbed the book from me and started to read it. we both finished it in two weeks and it is I think the best Mary higgens Clark book out there. I haven't yet to see the movie but I want to!

Pretend you dont see her by Marry Higgens Clark

Pretend you dont see her by Marry Higgens Clark is about a girl named Lacy Farrell, a Manhattan real estate agent. Lacey befriends an elderly woman, Isabelle Warning, while selling Isabelle's daughter's house, Heather. Heather was killed in a supposed car accident, but Isabelle is determined that it was not. While Lacey is showing the house to a potential buyer, she is a witness to Isabelle's murder. Isabelle had Heather's journal in her hand, signaling that Heather's killer was exposed in it. Lacey copies the journal for Heather's father, as Isabelle instructed, but also made a copy for herself, for she is determined to find out who the killer was. The only problem is Lacey is the only person who can identify Isabelle's killer. Because of the potental of great danger, Lacey is put into the witness protection program. She is sent to Minneapolis, under the name of Alice. While she is there, she meets a radio broadcaster, Tom Lynch. They start to date, but then Lacey breaks it off because she has realized the killer has followed her to Minneapolis. She didn't want to expose him to danger. With the help of the journal, Lacey unravels the mystery of who killed Isabelle and Heather. Pretend you dnt see her is one of those books that the suspense gets to you. It's like waching a horror movie, you can't stop until the very end. The thing I like most about this book was it was based in Minnesota. It had many places that I had been to, like the International Airport, and Wayzata. I also can really relate to Lacey Farrell. She can't stand being away from her friends and family, and I dont think I could either. She is very courageous after she finds out that the killer has traced her back to Minnesota, and I hope that I can sometimes find the courage that she found within herself. I like Mary HIggens Clark's writing style because it is entertaining, but not confusing. She introduces all of the characters in the book thoroughly, which makes you wonder which one really is the killer. I would definitely recommend this book to everybody who has time to read, because once you start, you won't want to put it down for a second.
