The Cinderella Murder

De: Mary Higgins Clark, Alafair Burke

Narrado por: Jan Maxwell

In this collaboration between “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and bestselling author Alafair Burke, “the snappy pace, layered characters, and many plot surprises will keep readers guessing in this fascinating mystery” (Booklist).

Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even more, the program—a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode.

Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a controversial church? Was she close to her computer science professor because of her technological brilliance, or something more? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered?

With the help of Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will attract great ratings, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood’s elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen—but is Cinderella’s murderer ready for a close-up?

Together Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke deliver “plenty of intrigue and excitement” (Publishers Weekly) in this exciting start to a new series that will keep you guessing until the final page.

loved it

My first Mary Higgins Clark book. It had me hooked from the beginning. Narrator did a wonderful job. Highly recommend and I will be listening to more by the author and narrator!

Brilliant!

There are very few books that I’ve listened to and been so engrossed that I wanted to stay home from work just to finish it. This is one of them! Excellent characters, a plot that keeps moving, and great narrator.

A great story.

I have very little time to read. So being able to listen while I'm working is awesome.

Spoiler Alert!

I loved this. The narrator was absolutely terrific, and in my Audible travels I’ve come to realize that can make or break a listening experience.
The story was good, if a little formulaic, especially at the end. Wait, no, don’t go into that dark garage alone! Oh no, *gasp* the bad guy carjacks the heroine! Kind of a cop-out, really.
But the rest of the book and the narrator really make up for the small storytelling stumble. I’d recommend for sure, and am looking forward to the next in this series.

Incredible Story - Keeps You Guessing
