A collection of short stories from the number-one New York Times best-selling "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark, including the never-before-published novella Death Wears a Beauty Mask.
From Clark's first-ever published story (1956's "Stowaway") to classic tales, featuring "Alvirah and Willy", "My Gal Sunday", and many more, Death Wears a Beauty Mask and Other Stories gives listeners the chance to revisit the short story highlights from the "Queen of Suspense". The jewel of this collection is the novella showcasing the dazzling and dangerous world of high fashion in 1970s New York City: Death Wears a Beauty Mask, which Mary began in 1974 and put aside to write Where Are the Children?, the book that launched her career. Mary returned to Death Wears a Beauty Mask nearly 40 years later, and the result is spectacular.
Featuring the same chills and heart-pounding drama we've come to expect from a Mary Higgins Clark title, and including an exclusive author's introduction, Death Wears a Beauty Mask and Other Stories is a spine-tingling listen and glimpse into the evolution of the remarkable career of the "Queen of Suspense".

The star of this collection is the title story – Death Wears a Beauty Mask. The fashion world, beauty products and murder collide. One thing that held my interest was the sister theme throughout the story. The main character, Janice, looks up to her older sister, and that resonated with me. I was riveted to the page turn, feeling the sisterly bond. This story is well thought out, riveting, and could stand on its own as a separate book.
When the Bough Breaks – short and heart breaking story of a mother’s love and despair and how she comes to terms with it.
Voices in the Coalbin – well developed primary characters draw you in and make you root for them. The imagery of a visit to a cherished family home, and disappointment in its worn down condition. A shocking ending, is unexpected, and falls short. It feels like a shortcut. This could be developed into a full book, but, as a short story it seemed to me to end abruptly.
Definitely up to Clark's standards. Very disappointing.
