Mary Higgins Clark’s latest thriller, ‘’The ''The Melody Lingers on’’on'', follows the author’s usual successful formula. The main character, Lane, is a young woman with a prestigious job as the assistant of an exclusive interior designer. She is instantly likeable: thoroughly nice – as underlined several times by other characters - un-snobbish and of course beautiful. We witness her performing small everyday acts of kindness and she is just vulnerable enough to be relatable to, having tragically lost family members. Vulnerable, but not troubled; no reckless drugs, drinking or sleeping around for Mary Higgins Clark heroines. Lane is clean and decent, with a strong moral fibre.
This could make her insufferable but on entering this author’s meta-world, one is flooded with a cascade of good will; it is impossible to be irritated by these privileged characters who glide through their glossy world of portered buildings and inherited pearls.
