It Had To Be You

Summary: In the latest thrilling entry in the bestselling Under Suspicion series by Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke, television producer Laurie Moran investigates the unsolved murder of a beloved couple celebrating the college graduations of their successful twin sons.

The two identical brothers seemed perfect in every way—handsome, intelligent, popular—until a shocking summer night when one brother killed his parents in cold blood while the other brother had an iron-clad alibi. But which twin was where during the murders? And is it possible the two of them planned the perfect crime together?

Years later, the twins are long estranged, each of them claiming to be convinced that the other is responsible for the death of their parents. Married now with children of their own, they may finally be ready to clear one name at the expense of the other and turn to Laurie Moran and her team to reinvestigate their parents’ murder. But as the Under Suspicion crew gets closer to the truth, the danger that was assumed to be left in the past finds its way into the present.

Featuring chilling suspense, a cast of characters whom loyal readers have come to love, and a final jaw-dropping twist, It Had to Be You is not to be missed.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Oh my, I adore this series. The series was set up in a former MHC book and I loved that standalone book (but I forget the name) and I was thrilled that it would continue with the divine Alafair Burke co-writing.

And even though MHC has passed away, the series has kept it’s voice. Which I love!

What I liked:

Great cover. Love the colors!

The set-up. I’m old enough to remember the Mendez brothers and this had a teensy bit of that vibe.

The red herrings. I like a good red herring.

What I didn’t love:

It seemed that Ryan was back up to his sneaky ways and I really felt that part of the story was a little too “rinse and repeat”.

Bottom line: If you have read all the books in the series, you really need to read this one. It’s worth reading.
