Moonlight Becomes You by Mary Higgins Clark
Reader Reviews The Dead Donøt Ring Bells, October 9, 2003 Reviewer: vestairene from The Pacific Northwest In the Nineteenth Century Victorians feared being buried alive. Some of them had a bell hung over their grave with a string threaded through an air vent in the coffin, so they could ring it if necessary, and they had their graves watched for a week after burial in case the bell rang. New York photographer Maggie Holloway becomes the target of a serial killer when she discovers a link between the murder of her elderly stepmother and the deaths of several wealthy older women at the Latham Manor retirement center. While visiting the women's graves, Maggie notices each has a bell buried near the headstone, a macabre gesture by the killer who has an elaborate financial scam underway. As she gets closer to the truth, she unwittingly puts herself in danger of being buried alive. Reviewed by Vesta Irene
