"[Clark] deftly combines the clue-searching and puzzle-solving fun of mysteries with the action-packed, emotion-driven narrative thrust of thrillers."

—Pittsburgh Tribune Review

"One of Clark's—and the genre's—best."

—Associated Press

A very suspicious death and a sprawling mansion with secrets and puzzles built into the very architecture are among the elements that make Dying for Mercy an unputdownable mystery. The third riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling Mary Jane Clark to feature Eliza Blake and her KEY News television colleagues, Dying for Mercy combines the gripping suspense of Faye Kellerman with the kind of brilliant twists, turns, and surprises that would make Agatha Christie proud. Mary Jane Clark is a member of the same writing family as fellow suspense superstars Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark, and this superior puzzler puts her at the very top of the family tree.

      In this latest Eliza Blake suspense offering, Eliza and her television news co-workers must solve the mystery surrounding the gruesome death by stigmata of a prominent New York politician's husband. A series of clues quickly ties a 20-year-old unsolved disappearance as well as a string of recent rapes to his death. Isabel Keating's rich, cultured voice and deliberate pacing bring to life this clever and intrigue-filled story of wealth, greed, and high-society secrets, in the finest Mary Jane Clark tradition. Keating's portrayals of the various characters--from pompous matron to innocent child--are polished and interesting. Fans will not be disappointed in the story or its narration. A.C.P.

      At the start of bestseller Clark's smooth third Eliza Blake puzzler (after It Only Takes a Moment
      ), the KEY to America
      TV host is looking forward to attending a party to celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi at Ennis and Valentina Wheelock's newly renovated villa in Tuxedo Park, N.Y. Soon after Ennis's suicide by stigmata in the villa's greenhouse puts an end to the party, someone begins killing anyone who knows too much about the Wheelocks' connection to a 20-year-old cold case involving an abandoned convertible and its missing owner, landscaper Martin O'Shaughnessy. Each murder mimics “aspects of the Passion of Jesus Christ.” As Eliza and her three KEY
      co-workers, who have dubbed themselves the Sunrise Suspense Society, swing into action, Eliza must fight to avoid becoming headline news herself as the killer's next victim. Those curious about Tuxedo Park will appreciate the well-researched portrait of the real-life exclusive community.
