Great beach, summer read. The book has nothing to do with daddy going hunting and why the title is Daddy's gone hunting is still baffling me. Kate and Hannah are sisters, the lost their mother to a accident when the were very little. The family business is losing money, and Kate has concerns. She...
I'm a fan of Mary Higgins Clark (or I used to be), but I struggled through this story. I liked the potential of the plot and the characters, but it wasn't realized. Not sure if it was the voice or the pacing, but it felt more like a slow telling of events with no suspense. A lot of the informatio...
This book was such a pleasure after reading "The Kite Runner" and "Franny and Zooey." It's a great mystery with good twists and characters. In fact, there are many characters, and I wondered how they were all going to be related. I also have a signed copy of this book that my father got for me...
I am surprised to see this come from an author who gives us spine chilling mysteries. Makes me wonder if she wanted to take an easy take on her mystery like her daughter, Carol Higgins Clark. I did not like any of Carol Higgins books, though that is a story for another post. Coming back to this n...
There is a very thin line between friends and enemies. Mary Higgins Clark's book Pretend You Don't See Her, stresses the idea that your closest friends can be your worst of enemies. Throughout this very mysterious and exciting book, Clark emphasizes that realizing everyone is not as whom they see...
A great new Clark: suspenseful but realistic thriller...We can't really remember Clark's first dozen or so books that well, but her novels from this latest decade invariably feature high-achieving leading ladies who prevail above all to solve the mystery at hand. If we have a peeve, it's that the...
I occasionally will pick up a book by Mary Higgins Clark. My mom loves her books, and I’ve picked up the habit of buying them when I see them at yard sales and thrift stores. Her books make for decent quick, mindless reads and transport me back to a time when bold-colored pant suits, shoulder pad...
Rene SandovalPeriod 6Book Report 2This interesting novel that I read was The Cradle Will Fall, by Mary Higgins Clark. This story was not only a shocking novel, but contains a bit of love and romance. Mary Higgins is known to be supposedly ,“ The Queen of Suspense". After reading this interesting ...
Mary Higgins Clark has always been one of my favorite authors and I've read almost all of her books at least once. She has a way of bringing creepiness and thrills into a book that few others have. To that aspect, A Cry in the Night does not disappoint and calls for a 3.5 star rating instead of a...
Read a book you can read in one calendar day.I know that this book is not literary in any way, and it is probably not as good as most books I gave three stars to, but I'm giving this a 3.5 because, you know what?just so we're clear.I know these books are cozy mysteries. I know they are predictab...
Ironically, as I read this novel and wrote this review, a murder re-trial is proceeding in my community. The convicted murderer and his girlfriend kidnapped a young man, drove 150 miles to a wooded area, and murdered him in order to steal his Mustang, which they then repainted. His lawyers argue ...
I am normally a devourer of any novel that has Mary Higgins Clark's john hancock attached to it. This one, however, just wasn't one I'd reread. You can tell that Carol Higgins Clark wrote most of the story, it's even a continuation of a series of some of her characters. I just didn't care whet...
4.5 STARS "A young woman is ensnared into returning to a place she had wanted to leave behind forever -- her childhood home. There, at the age of ten, Liza Barton had shot her mother, trying desperately to protect her from her estranged step-father, Ted Cartwright. Despite his claim that the shoo...
Emily Graham, a successful defense attorney and recently rich, decides to buy an old Victorian home at the New Jersey resort seaside of Spring Lake, that once belonged to her great, great grandmother. Emily has also accepted a job with Todd, Scanlon, Klein and Todd, a nationally known criminal d...
Il voto sarebbe dovuto essere 2,5 stelline, ma le ultime dieci pagine hanno cambiato tutto.Davvero, se tutto il libro fosse stato intrigante, veloce, pieno di azione e suspance (con un pizzico di sorpresa)come nelle ultime 10 pagine, avrei dato mille stelline a questo libro, e fatto una danza per...
There were a lot of things about this book that really annoyed me. Namely, the pervading attitude towards women. There was so much undisguised misogyny in these scant 290 pages that I was several times overwhelmed by the distinct urge to toss the book in the oven and turn that fucker on broil. Th...
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And once the workers from Rockefeller Center cut down a beautiful blue spruce in Stowe, Vermont, it will also look like Christmas.But when the crews go to cut the tree down, it’s gone and so is their flatbed truck.As luck would have it, Alvirah Meehan,...
Read this in one day. It's a quick read (short chapters, which seems to be the key in making readers turn the pages ... writers, take note) and while a little far-fetched, I enjoyed it enough to finish reading it. From the beginning you know who the kidnappers are and what happens to the "missing...
Adoro Mary Higgins Clark da sempre!Nel suo thriller del 1992, In giro per la città, gli effetti degli anni trascorsi dalla stesura sono evidenti. Si parla ancora di macchine da scrivere che si alternano al computer. Una nota insolita, ma che non compromette la storia che Mary Higgins Clark ci rac...
Another MHC’s story huh? You might be thinking that I’m now back on digging another of hers for one straight month eh? I don’t think I am It’s just that, I miss reading her stories and FYI there’s still a ton of hers in my reading list :PAnd about this story, well, it’s just actually a short re...
I see most people gave this novel a 3 for "liked it". I can't say that I "liked it", so it had to be a 2 for "it was ok" because it was nothing but ok, actually it was pretty disappointed. It's been awhile since I've read a MHC, maybe I've moved on or maybe this was one of her weakest ones? The s...
The book “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” by Mary Higgins Clark is a fantastic book that will keep you guessing at the end of every chapter. The novel begins in a doctor’s waiting room as Kerry McGrath patiently waits for her daughter’s stitches (from a recent car accident) to be removed. However, sh...
"Stille Nacht" ist kein Weihnachtsmärchen, was aber Untertitel und Klappentext auf meinem Buch versprechen. Es ist ein normaler Thriller, der sich während der Weihnachtszeit abspielt. Dabei hätte es auch zu einem beliebig anderen Zeitpunkt stattfinden können. Aber so sind die Emotionen, die man v...
