Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This spooky first novel is a tightly woven mixture of suspense, action, and mystery. Caroline's six-year-old daughter Hayley was kidnapped 19 years ago. Her beheaded, burned body was found, but her murderer was never caught. Now a serial killer is on the loose, brutally murdering people who were in some way connected with the child. Bouquets of black silk orchids are found near the bodies with cards scrawled in a childish hand, " Black for remembrance ." Has Hayley returned from the grave for ghostly revenge? Or is a human agent responsible for the grisly killings? False clues sprinkled throughout keep the reader guessing (usually incorrectly), but the solution makes perfect sense. Sure to be compared to Mary Higgins Clark's best-seller Where Are the Children? ( LJ 3/1/75), this nearly flawless suspense novel has more than enough merit to stand on its own.

From School Library Journal
YA-- Caroline Webb's daughter Hailey has been dead for 19 years, the victim of a brutal unresolved kidnapping and murder by decapitation. Now as Hailey's 25th birthday arrives, mysterious bouquets of black silk orchids appear beside the bodies of three murder victims who are linked obliquely to the devastating past events. Soon all of Caroline's second family is dragged into a nightmare of messages written in blood, phone calls from a piteous crying child, and a resurrected clown doll belonging to the dead girl. All the horrors of the event that tore Caroline's first marriage apart are stalking her now as danger threatens her eight-year-old daughter. Thompson has written a well-plotted thriller that includes a clever twist at the end. It's sure to please readers who pride themselves on sniffing out clues. Definitely a book for fans of Mary Higgins Clark.

Format:Taschenbuch
Mein erstes Buch von Carlene Thomson: und es ist ein eher billiger Thriller.
Würde sich wahrscheinlich zum Verfilmen eignen, wenn das Ende nicht ganz so weit hergeholt wäre.
Ich blieb als Frau und Mutter am Ball, da es um bedrohte Töchter geht. Ich las das Buch fast in einem Stück, da die Bedrohung sehr gut rüberkommt, wusste aber ca ab der Mitte schon wer "die Böse" ist und fühlte mich am Schluss ausgelaugt und unbefriedigt.
Steht zwar auf dem Cover, kann man aber nicht wirklich mit Mary Higgins Clark vergleichen.

Would Not have made a Clown out of Quincy, ME
23. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Despite having a doctorate in American literature, Carlene Thompson can write. She spins great suspense and the words don't get in the way. (A lot of folk with those high faltun' lit degrees get carried away with what they think is pretty writing. It may impress themselves and their friends - but it just gets in the way of a good story. Not here.)
With crisp crystalline prose, swift and sure pacing, and grand characterization, Carlene Thompson pulls the reader into the retro-trauma of Carlene Webb, whose daughter, Hayley, was kidnapped twenty years ago. The body was found decapitated and burned. Have Hayley and her clown doll Twinkle, kidnapped with her, returned to haunt Caroline; Hayley's father, Caroline's ex-husband Chris; and Caro's current daughter, Melinda?
If, like me, you read a lot of "True Crime" and forensic books, you might see the end of this one coming - but Thompson stirs in enough red-herring people to keep the suspense stew boiling and the reader guessing. Reviewed by TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer.

Great Book
1. Januar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an awesome book from an amazing author. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. It's a good creepy book. It starts with the kidnapping and murder of Hailey Corday. Twenty years later her mother Caroline is remarried with two more children. Creepy things start to happen, Hailey's doll suddenly reappears, her daughter meets a new friend who bears a striking resemblance to Hailey. People that were involved somehow with Hailey start meeting horrible ends. Has Hailey come back from the dead? Well you'll have to read it yourself to find out. Trust me you won't be dissapointed.

Fantastic! This mystery kept me guessing.
20. Februar 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Since this is the first book I'd read by Carlene Thompson (a present from my mother-in-law), I wondered until near the end if this book was going to be one with supernatural elements. The characters were interseting enough to keep me reading, but when I'd finally given up and decided, yep, this was going to be one of THOSE books, which was greatly disappointing.
But I kept reading. And hopefully you will too. The ending was a great surprise (and not one of THOSE books after all!), and everything came together very neatly.
What I liked most about this book was Thompson's theme, Black for Remembrance, which was well placed throughout the book. It was a great hook. The characters were pretty well rounded, too. In addition, the surprise ending was perfect: I was convinced I knew who-done-it and was WRONG.
I found very few flaws in the mystery plot of this book, in fact. I liked it so much, that I will hurry out and find another book by Thompson, hoping it's even half as good!
