When Kay Lansing marries wealthy widower Peter Carrington, she is well aware of the rumours surrounding the mysterious death of Peter's first wife Grace, who was found floating in the family pool ten years ago, pregnant at the time. Kay also discovers that Peter is a chronic sleepwalker who suffers from periodic nightmares. When the police arrive at her doorstep with a warrant for Peter's arrest in connection with another murder - that of a woman Peter had escorted to a high school senior prom twenty-two years ago - Kay begins to fear that she has married a sleepwalking murderer, and she resolves to find out the truth behind the puzzling deaths. But are the two deaths linked? And why does a melody that Kay cannot identify keep playing in her head every time she approaches the family chapel?Details Books During I Heard That Song Before

This book was really bad. The characters are so flat that calling them two dimensional would be a compliment and tend to do and think things that haveno basis in reality. The story is predictable and written in such a way that I found myself thinking, after every few pages, "Ah yes, the author is trying to trick me into thinking xyz, but it won't be." It was done in such an obvious way that I actually felt insulted. This story is written from the perspective of everyone who has even thought ofThis book had all the right ingredients for a good thriller love, money, murder, drugs, blackmail Instead it was a hot mess. Very choppy, very hurried in parts, characters you cant relate to because you dont *know* anything about them. Kay and Peters entire meeting, courtship, wedding, and honeymoon is covered in 4 pages, which makes it very hard to buy their devotion to one another. I finished it to see what the ending twist would be, but it wasnt very enjoyable.
this book was my start with Mary Higginsintersting book
I have read almost every book this author has written and was excited to come across this fairly new story last week. As always it was a page turner... completely captivating and a very easy read. If you've read enough of her books you can usually pick out the murderer in the first couple of chapters... this time I narrowed it down to two and picked the wrong one (but I was close!)! Very typical MHC - fun to read, interesting plot, not a lot of character development but enough to make you want
Finished reading: February 28th 2014 (view spoiler)[Mary Higgins Clark isn't one of my preferred authors even though she is writing novels belonging to the thriller genre I very much enjoy in general. I wasn't sure I wanted to read this one, but since I wasn't in the mood to read something heavy, I started this novel anyway. I Heard That Song Before was ok. It had a nice plot twist in the end, but for me too much emphasis was put on the relationship between Kay and Peter, without elaborating
I haven't read MHC in sometime so itwas kind of fun to read this book whichis quite old (up in my attic).
I have a weak spot for Mary Higgins Clarks books. Her suspense novels were the first ones Ive ever read as an adolescent and certainly not the last. I was immediately captured by riveting murder mysteries and dark secrets, unraveling themselves with every turning page. I dont know why should a 12 year old girl be more interested in detective mysteries than teen books, but what can I say, it was a perfect match. By then I knew I loved books, and I knew that one day Id grow up to be a writer but
