.... he must pay the ultimate price. I must say that I didn't have very high expectations for this book because I am not a very big science fiction fan, but this book changed my mind. There are many reasons why this particular book changed my view on science fiction. One of the major reasons for my enjoyment of this book is the way in which it was written.

"You Belong to Me is a superb thriller from one of the genre's all-time greats, Mary Higgins Clark." (Book Browser 1) Almost all critics had only good to say about Clark's work. "No doube many readers have one or more Mary Higgins Clark novels set aside...and not just because she is one of the most popular large-print book authors or because her heroines always come out all right at the end.
