About this ebook
From the Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a thrilling mystery aboard a luxurious but deadly cruise.
Fleeing the disastrous and humiliating last-minute arrest of her fiancé on the eve of their wedding, Celia, an expert on gems and jewelry, is hoping to escape from reality on a glamorous cruise ship.
But it is not to be. On board in the most luxurious suite is the elderly and world-famous Lady Emily Harworth. Immensely wealthy, Lady Em is the owner of a priceless emerald necklace that she intends to leave to the Smithsonian on her death.
Three days later Lady Em is found dead—and the necklace is missing. Is it the work of her apparently devoted secretary, or her lawyer-executor, both of whom she had invited on board for the cruise?
Celia, with the help of her new friends Willy and Alvirah Meehan—who are splurging on their wedding anniversary—sets out to find who the killer is, not realizing that she may have put a target on her back.

Read quite a few of Ms. Clark's books from the 80s 90s early 200s (my grandmother used to collect her novels until 'books' were replaced by e-books.) But her later works I've noticed are severely declining in quality as she's aging. I don't mean this to be rude by any means, but I wish for her sake and for the sake of the many fans she has that her publisher might kindly tell her she's losing her touch and consider a 'final chapter career'. Maybe she could write one last book as a sendoff??

I love reading Mary Higgins Clark's books. I would love to be able to read "All By Myself, Alone" in one sitting. However, in that it is not possible, I mark where I left off and sometimes can't get back to the book for a few days. I would love for Mrs. Clark to put a list of characters and a description for reference. Thumbing back to again read the character's description in the narrative is not fun.
