You Don't Own Me by Mary Higgins Clark

Laurie Moran had recently become engaged to Alex Buckley, the previous host of her show, and the two have been blissfully planning a summer wedding and honeymoon, preparing for Alex's confirmation to a federal court appointment, and shopping for the appropriate New York City home for their new life together since we last saw them.

But then Laurie is approached by Robert and Cynthia Bell, the parents of Dr. Martin Bell, a notoriously attractive and skilled physician who was shot dead as he pulled into the driveway of his Greenwich Village carriage house five years ago. The Bells are convinced that Martin's disgraced and volatile wife, Kendra, was responsible for the murder.

Since Martin's death, Kendra has been shrouded in suspicion, with tabloid media portraying her as a reclusive, psychologically unstable gold-digger. But, unbeknownst to the Bells, Kendra has already refused to move on with a re-investigation of her husband's murder, and her statements to the contrary just add to the look of guilt.

But as Laurie delves deeper into the case, she discovers that Martin wasn't the picture-perfect husband, father, and doctor he seemed to be, and that he was hiding his own secrets.And what does the web of deceit entangling the Bell family have to do with a dangerous stranger who looks at Laurie from afar and thinks, She is actually quite a lovely girl, I'm sure she'll be missed

The Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime Alafair Burke have designed another compelling page-turner in You Don't Own Me, the ideal, exhilarating follow-up to the bestselling Every Breath You Take.
