The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clark

It’s been a while since I’ve read a Mary Higgins Clark book. Probably because I’ve read everything she’s written and she doesn’t seem to write as fast as I can read her novels. πŸ™‚

While I enjoyed reading the story at the time, it was forgettable since I’m having trouble recalling the story even as I write this up.

There are a number of intertwined characters and story lines to follow, though nothing too complicated. The mysterious factors are just engaging enough to keep turning the pages, but not really enough to keep from putting the book down to do something else. I found some of the connections to be a little too convenient and my suspicious mind wanted more depth and complexity with the main protagonist’s love story.

So as to not give any of the story away, in case anyone plans on reading this, I’ll just say it was worth the read while traveling, but not really that fulfilling in terms of a thrilling mystery novel.

It’s been nearly a month since I last posted, much to my surprise. I kept meaning to write, but it seems that I write most often when procrastinating. Now being no exception. πŸ˜€

An update from my Crossroads post –

Shortly after I wrote that post, I finally received an email from my former supervisor saying that he had found me a new one. It happened to be the very person who should have been my advisor from the beginning, but for various reasons was not. So, the good news is that I have accepted and we have been working well so far. Though, I have already been slow to get going on my proposal revisions. The goal is to finish it today!

In any case, it’s all good because I really need to just finish this darn doctorate and get it done. Once it’s finished I’ll no longer have to formally study again and who can complain about that, really?

So…this month, I’ve got a bit to update. Therefore, watch this space for more to come!

Until then,

T
