Do You Promise Not to Tell?, Mary Jane Clark
I hadn’t read a Mary Jane Clark mystery in a couple of months and I was feeling like I needed a couple of fun mysteries to read. I went to my local library and requested the next MJC book, Do You Promise Not to Tell?
Do You Promise Not to Tell? is about Farrell Slater, a producer at KEY News. She’s lost her excitement for her job and her boss can tell. However, as she’s on her way out of KEY News, she stumbles across the story of Fauxberge. The Faberge Moon Egg has recently been auctioned off at Churchill’s auction house for a large sum of money. However, is it the real Moon Egg or is it a forgery. Farrell believes its a forgery and as she begins to unravel the case in order to get one last good story, people start to get hurt. Farrell doesn’t even realize what she’s stumbled on…
I have to say that MJC got me. I thought I knew who the killer was but I didn’t…dang! It was a fast paced, page turning mystery, like most of her other books. I was interested in the subject matter, the characters and the mystery. A great combination. MJC’s style is very much like that of her mother-in-law, Mary Higgins Clark. I’m working my way through all of her books. Are they the best mysteries I’ve ever read? No, but they are enjoyable, fun, light reads that are good distractions every now and again.
I would recommend MJC if you like MHC:) Overall, I would rate this book 3 stars.
