The third thrilling installment in the bestselling Under Suspicion series from #1 New York Times bestselling author and “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke—television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help a woman she thinks was wrongfully convicted of murder. Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiancé—famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh … Raleigh III—fifteen years ago. And Casey claims—has always claimed—she’s innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living “under suspicion” She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can’t get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she’s guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team—it’s Casey’s last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.
With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show—cooling his potential romance with Laurie—Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He’s got a big reputation and the attitude to match it. Ryan has no problems with steering—and stealing—the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey’s case because he’s so certain she’s guilty.
An egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey’s longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey’s innocence—that is, if she’s innocent… The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end.

As usual another great book from a great author. I highly recommend this book.
MH Clark is always great!
MHC books always have great descriptions of clothes and places and read quickly. I did guess who the guilty party was very early, but then there were twists later on that made me think I had guessed incorrectly, so it was enjoyable to keep reading until the end.
I love anything Mary Higgins Clark writes this is a great read
In the beginning, it was hard to keep all the characters straight. But once I did, it was very entertaining. Every time I thought I had it solved there was another twist.
I love, love , love this author! She never disappoints. This was an excellent read. I’m ready for the next one!
I think I’ve read all of Mary Higgins Clark’s books, the ones with Alafair Burke also. I’m never disappointed!
Good read……classic Clark
Excellent book, couldn’t put it down.

Awesome as always. Mary & Alafair never cease to amaze me every time I read their books. Can’t wait to get to the next one. Applause!!!!
