I've Got You Under My Skin: A Novel | 
so-soSo-so is generous. I have fond memories of loving MHC's books when I was a teenager. I pick one up now and then because I love the suspenseful stories. I never expect great writing, but this one was especially bad. The most annoying thing was that all the exposition happened in characters' internal monologues and some action in the current timeline was conveyed by characters thinking back on the events after they happened.
#WeRemember #MaryHigginsClark
This book came to me courtesy of the #whodunitbymail traveling book exchange before that endeavor ended prematurely.
End of day 6 of #SuperSeotember Readathon, Read 255, finished 1 book and a few pages from finishing the Mary Higgins Clark book.
Overall Totals :
1. Read 5 / 6 books
2. Read 2063 / 2500 Pages
3. Read 0 / 3 Net Galley Books
Still not read any NetGalleyBooks and need to concentrate on that target now.
End of Day 3 of #SuperSeptember Readathon, yesterday I didn‘t finish any books but read 294 pages, a great success on a work day.
Overall progress :
1. Read 3 / 6 books
2. Read 1247 / 2500 Pages
3. Read 0 / 3 Net Galley Books
How‘s your Readathon going?
Yesterday started the first book in the Under Suspicion Series by the wonderful Mary Higgins Clark. Reading this as part of the #SuperSeptember Readathon. Already read two from later in the series.
panPainful. Absolutely painful. At no point did the desire to quit this book ease up. I read this book because it was the first in a series in which Alafair Burke co-authors and I wanted to read everything she has written, but I am going to skip them now as this book was so bad.
pickA page turner....2 mysteries in one. Five years ago Laurie‘s husband was murdered and now she wants to do a series on cold cases. The first one she chooses is The Gala Murder
pickWow! This is the first book I‘ve read from Mary Higgins Clark and it was so good! I had no idea who the killer was until the end when it hit me in the face! Also, there was such a shocking ending! I picked this book up because it‘s the first in the series, Under Suspicion, and starting with the second book the series is written with Alafair Burke. I need the next book now!!
so-soThis was good, just not great. I listened to the audiobook and there were a lot of characters to keep straight for me as I often multi-task. I plan to read the next book in the series since it was also authored by Alafair Burke and I love her writing. #MountTBR
Well I‘ll probably get another two hours in but won‘t reach #24b4Monday. I read the tagged book for #whodunitbymail and about 2000 pages of documents from the Chris Watts case. It‘s pretty much been my obsession all weekend. (Along with @Reviewsbylola ). Fascinating stuff! I‘ll be back next month to try again for 24. 📚📚📚
Just got my next #WhoDunItbyMail book today! Thanks @leslieseidel ! After the dark book for last month this should be a fun walk down memory lane- loved MHC years and years ago!
Sweet! @Susanita Look what arrived today!
Thank you, again, @Read4life for helping to get our little group back on track!

pickFinished my #whodunitbymail book. I enjoyed it for the easy read it was. Many have told me it‘s not one of MHC‘s best. However, I enjoyed it enough to read her again.
This one is on its way to you, @Marmie7
panUnfortunately, the second #whodunitbymail wasn't my cup of tea. This isn't MHC in her prime, so I was disappointed that this was the book that brought her back into my literary life. If you're a MHC fan, skip this one. ⭐️⭐️/5
I finally got to the post office today! The next #whodunitbymail book is on its way, @AccioAlltheBooks! It should arrive on Saturday...only two days late! 😬
Second day in a row of #bookmail! The #whodunitbymail pick from @MaleficentBookDragon arrived today along with some awesome extras. Thank you so much! I'm already a few chapters into the MHC and can't wait to find out what happens.
@TheWordJar I'm sending out the first #whodunitbymail book to you today. Since it is the first one, I added a bonus book I saw on your #tbr. If you already have it, #readitforward
Catching up on my #17rainbowbooks with my #greenauthor #greentitle choices.
so-soThis was just an okay book for me. The subplot was far more interesting to me than the major one. Felt like an episode of SVU that was entirely too long.
Reading this for our newly-formed work book club. Haven't read MHC in a very long time, but enjoyed some of her previous works.
