Fantastic Mystery

"There He Keeps Them Very Well" begins 30 years ago in Aberdeen, Montana, where seven-year-old Christine Burnett witnesses a woman covered in blood fleeing the house her husband was just killed in. Following her is a man that threatens Christine with her life if she ever tells anyone what she saw. And to make sure she doesn?t betray him, he stalks her for over a period of 30 years--until one horrible night when Christine returns home from work and finds her husband decapitated and her two young children missing.With the help of her two childhood friends (Eda Crispin, now a New York cop, and Lucille Brigham, a popular mystery writer), Christine desperately searches for her children, while flashing back on her own childhood and the hidden clues that reveal haunting similarities between the murder/child abduction incident three decades ago and Christine?s present situation.I bought "There He Keeps Them Very Well" mainly because of the V. C. Andrews-ish front cover, plus the synopsis on the back didn?t sound too bad. Once I began casually flipping through the pages, I couldn?t stop reading. I finished the entire book in two days; it was that good. If you like fast-paced, twisted-ending mysteries, then you?ll definitely enjoy this one. Highly recommended.

Keeps Your Interest

It did not take long to read this book. One of those that you can't put down. It keeps your interest. Your mind can easilypicture what is going on in the story. It has all you need for a good story. Sadness, suspense, and can't figure it outwho did it toward the very end. Not just a "butler did it" story.

the best of ClareM yet

I love Ms. Mcnally's book but this is the best. I read it when it first came out. Then reread it two years later and then two years after that. I never read a book twice but this was so good it was worth reading THREE times. When is her next book coming out?

It is a chilling story that you can't put down

This book is very exciting I can't put it down because everytime I stop I keep wanting to read more and more.. It is a thriller that you won't want to miss.

Amazing ! !

I read this book in one day and it was simply amazing! Filled with suspense and intrigue. I couldn't put it down for 2 minutes. My number one favourite book of all times (and I always have a book on the go). Looking forward to the next Clare NcNally book.
