The “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke are here with their fifth enthralling mystery in the New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series as television producer Laurie Moran must solve the murder of a celebrity doctor—before a mysterious stalker plots his next move.Television producer Laurie Moran recently became engaged to her investigative television show’s former … television show’s former host, Alex Buckley, and since then, the two have been happily planning a summer wedding, preparing for Alex’s confirmation to a federal judicial appointment, and searching for the perfect New York City home for their new life together.
But then Laurie is approached by Robert and Cynthia Bell, parents of Dr. Martin Bell, a physician who was shot dead as he pulled into the driveway of his Greenwich Village carriage house five years ago. The Bells are sure that Martin’s disgraced and erratic wife, Kendra, carried out the murder. Determined to prove Kendra’s guilt and win custody over their grandchildren, they plead with Laurie to feature their son’s case on Under Suspicion, ensuring her that Kendra is willing to cooperate.
As Laurie dives into the case, she learns that Martin wasn’t the picture-perfect husband, father, and doctor he appeared to be and was carrying secrets of his own. And what does the web of lies ensnaring the Bell family have to do with a dangerous stranger, who gazes at Laurie from afar and thinks, She is actually quite a lovely girl, I’m sure she’s going to be missed…?
You Don’t Own Me is the perfect, exhilarating follow up to the bestselling Every Breath You Take. The “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime Alafair Burke have devised another riveting page-turner.

I received this book on a Goodreads Giveaway. This is my honest review of the book. I already enjoy reading the Under Suspicion series. This was the next book in this collaboration by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. Each book has been very well written, and this one was no exception. This one had so many twists and turns as the plot unfolded. This time Laurie Moran and her team hadn’t even started filming the cold case when they figure out who the murderer is. But that wasn’t all, Laurie was still being targeted by a stalker. The ending was masterfully created. Also the future is now looking brighter for Alex, Laurie, her son and her father. I look forward to the next one in the series just as I look forward to each new book by both these terrific authors.
I had to keep reading to see who the bad guys were.
Awesome book
You can’t go wrong with Mary Higgins Clark! Always interesting characters, successful storylines, quick to read and hard to put down until you’re done!
I love the combination of these two authors. They are great together.
This duo writing team does not disappoint. Fast paced, page turning mystery. I did not want to put down. If you like “who dun it” mysteries, this book is a must read as well as all in this series. However, it can be read as a stand alone
I just love this series! Another great story! Laurie and the team have another cold case to make a show with and try to solve. This one is more high powered than ever with a famous Celebrity Doctor found dead in his garage and his wife passed out in bed.
The team is eager to get started and look into all the possibilities that could have happened. Laurie and Alex are finally engaged and ready to start their new life but only one small problem they need a place big enough for the whole family. Leo is refusing to move hahah so the stipulations are making it hard for the realtor to find the perfect place.
As usual the story was fast paced and enjoyable. I love these books I don’t usually like a series but I love how you don’t have to read them all to read one they are just great!
I like all of Mary Higgins Clark’s books.

If you like Mary Hggins Clark, you’ll love this.
Although I am an avid fan, I found this book not up to the usual standards I look forward to. The villain was a surprise, but the other characters not as well developed as in previous novels.
Excellent reading. Always enjoy Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. Their combined works are all good reads. Highly recommend
America’s best mystery writer and her co-writer come up with yet another winner.
