I will be writing a book report of The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Stories. It is by Mary Higgins Clark and includes four other stories besides "The Anastasia Syndrome". "The Anastasia Syndrome" is about a woman whose mind gets taken over by an evil woman from the past. When the evil woman is controlling her mind, Judith, the main character, doesn't remember anything that happened. Judith is writing a book about the time which the evil woman is from, so she is involved in the events in which the evil woman was in. It takes place in England but Judith travels around quite a bit. She is a war orphan and is searching for her lost family. She is engaged to the next prime minister, and she doesn't want the news of her search to be revealed. The evil woman in her mind is controlling her and makes her do evil things, like try to bomb a statue, and the tower of London. It is a good book, and also includes facts from the history of England. It has a great surprise ending and I loved it! The other stories are, "Terror Stalks the Class Reunion", "Lucky Day", "Double Vision", and "The Lost Angel". In "Terror Stalks", a woman gets abducted when she goes to her class reunion. "Lucky Day" is about a woman whose luck changes very dramatically in one swift move. "Double Vision" is about a jealous actor that goes back to kill the director that he believes ruined his career. "The Lost Angel" is a story about a young girl that gets lost in New York City, with her mother frantically trying to find her before other miseries come upon her. I think that it is a very good book, and I recommend any of Mary Higgins Clark's books. In my opinion, she is an excellent writer. This book is part mystery, history, and fantasy, filled with suspense.
