Emily Graham is haunted by two murders that are closely linked, even though 110 years separate them. After breaking a marriage between her and her husband and being pursued by an obsessive stalker, Emily decides to leave Albany for a new criminal defense attorney job in Manhattan. For her new house, she bought her ancestor’s home, a Victorian house in Spring Lake, New Jersey. In 1892, her family sold the house after Emily’s great-great-great-aunt Madeline Shapley, then a young lady, disappeared.
Now that Emily has bought this house, she starts renovating her backyard for a pool. When they were digging, the remains of a skeleton of a young woman were found. She was identified as Martha Lawrence, who disappeared from Spring Lake four years before. In Martha’s hand they find something extraordinarily amazing. They find a finger bone of a young woman with a ring on the finger, a Shapley family heirloom. Emily seeks to find the link between the recent murder and family’s past. While she does this, she becomes in danger to a cunning and crafty killer, who has chosen her as the next victim.
On the Street Where You Live excited me with every page turn. I never wanted to put it down. I was amazed at some of the discoveries in this book. Mary Higgins Clark has written a remarkable story that jumped from the page.
This novel was great at keeping me excited. Mary Higgins Clark has written a wonderful book, just like the other books she has written. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure and who loves a good mystery.
