Publisher's summary

In this exciting thriller from Mary Higgins Clark, the number-one New York Times best-selling "Queen of Suspense", a news reporter tries to find her birth mother just as she is assigned to cover the high-profile trial of a woman accused of murdering her wealthy husband.

Television journalist Delaney Wright is on the brink of stardom after she begins covering a sensational murder trial for the six p.m. news. She should be thrilled, yet her growing desire to locate her birth mother consumes her thoughts. When Delaney's friends - Alvirah Meehan and her husband, Willy - offer to look into the mystery surrounding her birth, they uncover a shocking secret they do not want to reveal.

On trial for murder is Betsy Grant, widow of a wealthy doctor who has been an Alzheimer's victim for eight years. When her once-upon-a-time celebrity lawyer urges her to accept a plea bargain, Betsy refuses: She will go to trial to prove her innocence.

Betsy's stepson, Alan Grant, bides his time nervously as the trial begins. His substantial inheritance hangs in the balance - his only means of making good on payments he owes his ex-wife, his children, and increasingly angry creditors.

As the trial unfolds and the damning evidence against Betsy piles up, Delaney is convinced that Betsy is not guilty and frantically tries to prove her innocence.

A true classic from Mary Higgins Clark, As Time Goes By is a thrilling story by a master of the genre.

LOVED IT!

I loved it and just couldn't stop listening to it. I know I'll have bags under me eyes from staying up so late. But I don't think I've read(when I used to read books) any Mary Higgins Clark's books I didn't like.

Good series

I love and adore Mary Higgins Clark. If you want a very clean, yet good story, you should read any book that she has written. I enjoy this series. It is nice to see the producer’s side of tv.

great audio!

I've always enjoyed MHC novels but this was my first time listening via audio book. I enjoyed the narration and appreciated the change in voices by Jan.

Kept me on the edge of my seat

This book kept me engaged. I honestly didn't know who was the murderer until close to the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this book.

Good not Great...

Not up to the epic standard I'm used to from Mary Higgins Clark. Jan Maxwell is a great reader as always.
