"I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME..."

Slipped under the door of her Georgetown home, the note was an ominous reminder of Pat Traymore's past. The beautiful young television journalist had come to glamorous, high-powered Washington to produce a TV series. Her subject: Senator Abigail Jennings, slated for nomination as the first woman vice president of the United States.

With the help of an old flame, Congresman Sam Kingsley, Pat delves into Abigail's life, only to turn up horrifying facts that threaten to destroy senator's reputation and her career. Worse still, sinister connections to Pat's own childhood and the nightmare secrets hidden within are surfacing -- secrets waiting to destroy her.

Classic MHC book Shines!

This is definitely one of MHC's better books, mixing suspense, politics, tasteful romance, murder, secrets, and psychopaths in to create a winning story. This is an interesting, quick read and it is certainly worth it.


Fantastic Book

What a fantastic book. I'm not very good at writing reviews for books, but I can say that I could not put this book down, and I'm usually easily distracted.


Read in one day

In contrast to the Grisham book I had just finished that took me weeks to get through, I started and ended Stillwatch in the same day. There was never a good place to put it down. I always wanted to find out what was going to happen or to see if the person I suspected was the culprit. This book weaves a few different storylines together and although not a book destined for the classics, was a highly enjoyable read. If you're going on vacation, don't expect this one to last you the week!

Deadly domestic politics

Pat Traymore is the plucky newswoman in this Washington D.C.-based story of domestic intrigue, in both the familial and political senses of the word. She is very likeable and with one exception SPOILER ALERT (staying in her house after it clearly has become too dangerous) does not suffer from the one defect present in most of these books: being dumber than the reader. The plot has a steady pace bringing us to the expected climax, where all is revealed in an interesting, if not quite believable, manner.

Once again though, too many coincidences. ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT. Pat Traymore is making a documentary on Senator Abigail Jennings. The crazed bad guy stalking Ms Traymore just happens to be the adopted father of the intern working for Senator Jennings, and he also just happens to be the person who tended to Pat when she was an injured child? The Senator just happened to be having an affair with Pat's father -- and neither Pat nor the Senator nor the crazed stalker know of these coincidences? Come ON. Ms Clark, you're capable of better than this.
