About this listen

The legacy of the “Queen of Suspense” continues with the highly anticipated follow-up to Mary Higgins Clark’s iconic novel Where Are The Children?, featuring the children of Nancy Harmon, facing peril once again as adults.

Of the fifty-six bestsellers the “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark published in her lifetime, Where Are the Children? was her biggest, selling millions of copies and forever transforming the genre of suspense fiction. In that story, a young California mother named Nancy Harmon was convicted of murdering her two children. Though released on a technicality, she was abandoned by her husband and became such a pariah in the media that she was forced to move across the country to Cape Cod, change her identity and appearance, and start a new life. Years later her two children from a second marriage, Mike and Melissa, would go missing, and Nancy yet again became the prime suspect—but this time, Nancy was able to confront the secrets buried in her past and rescue her kids from a dangerous predator.

Now, more than four decades since readers first met Nancy and her children, comes the thrilling sequel to the groundbreaking book that set the stage for future generations of psychological suspense novels. A lawyer turned successful podcaster, Melissa has recently married a man whose first wife died tragically, leaving him and their young daughter, Riley, behind. While Melissa and her brother, Mike, help their mom, Nancy, relocate from Cape Cod to the equally idyllic Hamptons, Melissa’s new stepdaughter goes missing. Drawing on the experience of their own abduction, Melissa and Mike race to find Riley to save her from the trauma they still struggle with—or worse.

Just like the original, Where Are the Children Now? keeps you guessing and holding your breath until the very last minute.

I love January LaVoy. She is such a great narrator. I recently reread Where Are the Children and decided to give this one a try. I’m glad that I did. It does such a great job of connecting the original story to the new story.

Great book!

I listened to both books, back to back and loved them both! Great stories!Great narration too!
That said, the only downside for me was, I wasn’t that thrilled with the child voice.

Great Stories, but…

Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke once again did not disappoint. The story had me hanging on to the edge of my seat the whole time. Wish the story would have been longer I hated to see it end.. A lot of times a woman narrator sounds awful doing male voices, hers are just great. Where Are The Children was my very first Mary Higgins Clark book way back when I was a young teenager, I have loved every single one of her books and glad she is still putting them out. January LaVoy is an excellent narrator - brings all the characters to life.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE
