Book #39 was Mary Higgins Clark’s On the Street Where You Live. The back of the book reads:

Following a nasty divorce and the trauma of being stalked, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham leaves Albany to work in Manhattan. Craving roots, she buys her ancestral home, a Victorian house in the seaside resort town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Her family sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily’s forebears, Madeline Shapley, then a young girl, disappeared.

As the house is renovated and a pool dug, a skeleton is found and identified as Martha Lawrence, a young Spring Lake woman who vanished several years ago. Within her hand is the finger bone of another woman, with a ring — a Shapley family heirloom — still on it. Determined to find the connection between the two murders, Emily becomes a threat to a seductive killer…who chooses her as the next victim.

Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite “summer reading” authors. I especially like her books when I can’t guess the who in the whodunit. No guessing in this one! It was actually pretty unexpected.
