Covering the story of a stabbing victim, television news reporter Meghan Collins stares down at the sheet-wrapped body of a beautiful young woman in a New York City hospital. What she sees in the dead girl's face draws her into a terrifying web of treachery, where nothing is as it seems and the truth may be too devastating to pursue....
In a tragic bridge accident, Meghan's father has disappeared -- but no trace has been found of his body or his car. Meghan's mother, neither widow nor wife, is unable to convert joint assets she needs to retain ownership of the family's Connecticut inn. Before his disappearance, Edwin Collins had taken all the cash out of his substantial insurance policies. Now, in absentia, he has become the suspect in a brutal murder.
Trying to identify the dead girl, find her murderer, and clear her own father's name, Meghan finds that her search is entwined with a story she is doing on the Manning Clinic, an in-vitro fertilization center where women seek the children nature has denied them. On a twisting trail of deadly passions and deceit, Meghan is venturing ever closer to the truth...a nightmare journey that may cost her her very life.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Clark's novel about a reporter's investigation of her family's secret past was a 13-week PW bestseller.

From School Library Journal
YA-First-time readers and longtime fans will find Clark's new book a fast-paced, intricately woven tale of suspense and intrigue. Meghan Collins, newly hired TV reporter, makes a startling discovery while on assignment at a large metropolitan hospital. An unidentified young woman dying of a knife wound is rushed into the emergency ward, and Meghan finds herself staring down at a person who could be her double. She is thrust into an investigation that not only involves finding out the identity of the dead woman, but also uncovering the details of her father's puzzling death 10 months earlier. No trace of his body or car was ever found. To complicate things further, Meghan's next assignment reveals some questionable procedures at a fertility clinic in regard to in vitro fertilization of identical twins. Clark masterfully fits all the pieces together, delivering an expertly written, gripping mystery that will appeal to YAs.

Mary, Mary, Mary.....
Mary Higgens Clark, how do you do it?!?! I loved this book, "I'll Be Seeing You" because it was very adventerous and so compelling! The book is about a young TV reporter named Meg Collins. It starts out with Meg reporting a story of a stabbed victem and finds that the girl who was stabbed looks shockingly like Meg herself! All while this is going on, the police are trying to solve the mystery of Meg's father, who supposedly died in a tragic car crash on a bridge, and went over the edge into the water. Sure, that doesn't sound like a mystery, but the thing is the police never found the car or the body in the water. Meg and her mother are trying to convince themselves that "yes, he did die in that car crash" and "no, he wasn't living a double life"- which the police think he was living a double life. When they figure out the truth it will deffinitly shock you! You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time you're reading this book, and you'll never want to put it down until you finish it!
A Captivating story from page one.
I found this to be an excellent novel with well-developed characters and an great plot. The plot began to thicken right from the beginning when the protagonist sees a stabbing victim that bears a striking resemblence to herself, while on assignment as a reporter. Every detail was carefully thought out, and every detail was connected in the final outcome. This book has everything: some science/medical jargon, an action-packed chase scene, a lot of suspense, and a love story. If you want to read a good detective story and love to try and figure out the ending, this book is for you. If you pay attention to the little things you may be able to put the puzzle together, but there's always a twist at the end. It keeps on the edge of your seat until the very end. I could not read fast enough as I waited to see what happened. I loved reading this book and would recommend it to all of my friends.
Caitie's Book Review
I'll Be Seeing You is a very interesting book filled with mystery and suspense. Clark's main character, Meghan, is a successful young newscaster. Meghan is very close to her parents, and when her father - and his car- disappears in a fatal car accident she is devastated. The authorities can't find any evidence that Meghan's father was killed in the car accident, so the only conclusion they can come to is that he faked his own death. Meghan wants to get to the bottom of it, but when she begins to investigate for clues to where her father could be, strange things start happening. This is a great book for readers who like mysteries with unsuspected killers and hidden motives.
