Nighttime is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark

Back/Inside Cover:
Historian Jean Sheridan returns to Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, excited about her twenty-year high-school reunion at Stonecroft Academy. But a dear friend of hers soon becomes the fifth woman in the class to meet a sudden, mysterious end. Then Jean receives a taunting fax about a child she gave up for adoption ,whose existence she had kept a secret but whose life may now be in danger. For present at the reunion is The Owl, a murderer on a mission of vengeance against women who once humiliated him . . . and Jean is his final intended victim.

My Thoughts:
This was a great mystery novel. It truly was an amazing book that had my suspecting a character in one sentence and then ruling them out in the next. In the end the murderer is the last person at the reunion you would suspect. This sends a good chill down your back and keeps you reading through the end. It's a longer read, but a good page turner.

Reccommendations for...:
This is for either boys or girls. It's probably good for as young as, umm, I would say 8th grade. I don't know, you really have to be into mysteries to appreciate this book, and you have to be willing to be scared. If you're easily scared, this book isn't for you.
