Pressestimmen

Praise for Mary Higgins Clark's The Lost Years:

“Once again Mary Higgins Clark affirms why she is the ‘Queen of Suspense’… Ms. Clark has another winner for her readers to enjoy getting us there with this entertaining taut tale in which the suspense spins from family violence to biblical archeological violence.” --Mystery Gazette

“At once a breathless murder mystery and a hunt for what may be the most precious religious and archeological treasure of all time.” --BookReporter.com

"Clark, known rightly as the queen of suspense, performs her usual magic…An intriguing blend of religious history and contemporary mystery, “The Lost Years” confirms Clark’s status as a writer who is willing and able to bend her formula – and to do so successfully—to address topics not often found in the genre.” --Richmond Times Dispatch

“If you’re someone who enjoys sharing novels with others, though, beware: lend this book and you may never get it back. That’s because, for mystery fans, ‘The Lost Years’ is truly a keeper.” --Pittsburgh Tribune

4.0 von 5 Sternen Recht spannend 4. Januar 2013
Von Dreamteam
Format:Taschenbuch
Zu einem MHC gehören: viele, viele Handelnde, eine gepflegte Umgebung (Nähe Central Park ist nicht verkehrt) und gerne ein gediegener Background, und ausgiebigste Beschreibungen der handelnden Personen zu jeder Gelegenheit (entlastet das eigene Vorstellungsvermögen).
(Auch) in diesem Buch ist die Handlung zwar interessant, aber eher unrealistisch - und ohne ein bisschen Zufall würde die Sache vermutlich auch schnell im Sande verlaufen: eine uralte Handschrift ohne "Security" in der Schublade eines Wissenschaftlers, ein Einbruch, der sich als "Glücksfall" herausstellt, ein älteres Millionärsehepaar, das Detektiv spielt ...
Dafür ist das Buch erstaunlich spannend, weil man wirklich wieder und wieder mit überlegt, wer denn nun der Mörder sein könnte, was tatsächlich bis fast zuletzt ungeklärt bleibt.
Fazit: ein nettes Buch für einen entspannten Abend auf dem Sofa.

4.0 von 5 Sternen The Lost Years 11. Februar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Spannend und unterhaltsam - eigentlich wie jeder Krimi von Mary Higgins Clark. Allerdings ist das "Strickmuster" in etwa immer etwa dasselbe - dies aber gut umgesetzt!

2.0 von 5 Sternen Okay, but nothing like her old books 12. April 2012
Von hm - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I am a huge fan of Mary Higgins Clark's earlier work. I can vividly remember staying up until dawn to finish "A Cry in the Night" and "Where are the Children?". I think the last book of hers I really loved was "Remember Me". They are the kind that you don't really want to read if you're alone in the house, and they guaranteed chills.

Sadly, I think that the either the time has come that she should consider retiring (she is in her eighties, after all) or possibly her daughter is writing these books (and she does NOT have her mother's talent). This story is readable but I really didn't care who did it. I read it because I read all her books, but her last several have been just meh.

3.0 von 5 Sternen I Wish I Could Give Three and a Half Stars 5. April 2012
Von D. Bell - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As I was reading this book, I felt a strong sense of sympathy for the heroine, Mariah. Her mother had been suffering from Alzheimer's for several years; my late mother had it as well, so I understood how hard it is to be a son, daughter, or spouse of someone with the disease. Although I understood why Mariah resented the fact that her father was in love with another, younger woman, I could also sympathize with him because he could never have the woman he loved back the way she had been. That facet of the book alone made it fascinating to me.

It was good to see Alvirah & Willy again, especially now that I see Kathy Najimy's face on Alvirah. I also enjoyed reading about Wally and his unique scheme for (almost) foolproof burglaries.

On the negative side, I did not really feel I knew her father's four male friends that well. Although they were the main suspects, they weren't well drawn.

However, it's a fast read and a pleasant one (except for thinking about the Alzheimer's). I'm glad I bought it.

4.0 von 5 Sternen exciting biblical archeological thriller 3. April 2012
Von Harriet Klausner - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In 1474 A.D. Pope Sixtus IV ordered the destruction of the Joseph of Arimathea Parchment; the only known letter written by Jesus, because he believes the document was a fake. Instead it was snuck out of the Vatican and disappeared for over five centuries.

In the current day, Biblical scholar Jonathan Lyons believes he has found the original Arimathea Parchment. He obtains affirmation from peers and shows it proudly to close friends. Jonathan's twenty something daughter Mariah comes home to find her father dead from a bullet in the head and her mom Kathleen, suffering from Alzheimer's, inside a closet holding the murder weapon and blood splattered all over her. The police believe Kathleen murdered her husband because in her lucid moments she knew Jonathan was having an affair and there are times when she is violent. While her mom is locked away in a psych ward, initially a depressed Mariah accepts the horrid conclusion that her mom killed her dad, but once the fog lifts from her mind, she logically begins to wonder whether the motive was the Joseph of Arimathea Parchment.

Once again Mary Higgins Clark affirms why she is the "Queen of Suspense" with this exciting biblical archeological thriller. The evidence points increasingly towards her mom as the murderer, but with help from friends Wiley and Alvirah, the dispirited heroine starts to find other viable suspects as she seeks someone filled with pride and avarice; but even then Mariah still lacks proof. Ms. Clark has another winner for her readers to enjoy getting us there with this entertaining taut tale in which the suspense spins from family violence to biblical archeological violence.
