Summary: Mystery Killer
Review: I read the book "Daddy's Little Girl" by Mary Higgins Clark. The genre of the book is horror/mystery. The reason I read the book was because I've read two other books by Mary Higgins Clark and I really like her writing style.
My book is about a little girl whose sister gets murdered and she has to testify to send a man to jail. When the little girl grows up she has to face the man she sent to jail 23 years ago to prevent him from getting out of jail early. The more research the girl does on her sister's murder the more facts she uncovers to lead her to the real killer. Whether it's a close friend, a perverted old man, or the man she sent to jail originally.
This book was very interesting and entertaining to me. I love all of her books because they are suspenseful and intriguing. You want to keep reading to find out what happens next. There are also many twists in the book, which confuse you and lead you to think different things.
This book affected me by making me appreciate my family more. After the girl's sister got murdered her parents also split up. I feel lucky that nothing like that happened in my family.
I think that this book was very good and I suggest reading it if you like horrors or mysteries. Some advice I have for readers is to take a break every once in a while and think about what happened so you won't get confused and you'll understand it easier.N.S.

Summary: Daddy's Little Girl
Review: I really like all of the Mary Higgins Clark books I have read so far. She really keeps you hooked on what you're reading. I really enjoyed Daddy's Little Girl because I was glued to it throughout the entire book. I really like how she saves the answer to the murder until the very end of the book. So you never know for sure who really murderd her older sister. And that she has exciting things happen to the characters in the middle. She doesn't let you get bored while your reading this book. This was probably one of my favorite ones that I have read so far. I really enjoyed it.

Summary: Daddy's Little Girl
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is a superb writer. This title was the best of all her books. It kept me on the edge of my seat until I had finished it. Thankfully, I was on vacation and had time to read it in one sitting because I could not put it down. Mary Higgins Clark writes a story of intrigue and one that holds the reader's interest without any of the risque language and happenings of so many writers of today.

Summary: Awesome!~!~!
Review: I read this book in the summer of 2002! I was really bored and Ive always had a high reading level for my age (which was 12 at the time)and I HAD to read something over the summer or I would've been bored for 10 weeks. So i did a search on the internet for suspense/mystery books because thats what interests me, and there it was "Daddy's Little Girl". I read it in like 3 weeks, it was that good. Usually it would take me all summer to read a book that long. I really loved it and that's when I got interested in Mary Higging Clark's books. This summer though (2003) my mom bought me her new book "The Second Time Around" and I read that in the one week I was on vacation in Nevada! I am reading it again right now! I must say, Mary Higgins Clark is by far one of my favorite authors!

Summary: Shouldn't suspense novels have suspense?
Review: This book was a major disappointment. First Rob, who was the prime suspect for the murder, turned out to be the murderer! That's bad enough but throughout the whole book, he's the ONLY suspect. Nobody even entertains the possibility that someone else could be the murderer! What's so suspenseful about that? I mean, if Rob was a suspect and they figured out that someone else was the killer, or even if Rob was cleared and we found out that hey he was the murderer after all, that might have been interesting. But not this. Then there are the other "suspects". There's that mysterious salesman that was around the time of the murder. Clark gives this piece of information and then does absolutely nothing with it. It sounds as if the police make little to no effort to find this guy. And of course there's Paul. I don't get what Clark was trying to do with this character. He's never a very bright guy, but one minute it's just like, he's probably not going to get into college anytime soon, and the next he's 3 IQ points away from being mentally challenged and the big bad Rob is taking advantage of Paul the feeb. And was anyone else expecting something different from the title "Daddy's Little Girl"? When I first picked up this book, I thought it might have been possible that there was something going on between "Daddy" and Andrea. That would have been a lot more interesting than what Clark wrote. All in all, I had a lot of ideas about what was going to happen in this book, and it turns out the reality was way less than what I expected.

Summary: Another hit by Mary Higgins Clark!
Review: I have been reading books by Mary Higgins Clark for over 10 years now and I have never been disappointed. She is an amazing writer with a talent that is surpassed by few others. I could not put this book down. The characters were real, the plot was interesting and the end was gripping. Make yourself a cup of tea, get comfortable on your couch and relax. You will be entertained by this book.

Summary: My book task review
Review: I thought that this was a pretty cool book. It was mostly mystery but there was suspense and drama and stuff in the book. Some parts of the book gave me the chills. The book was also interesting like how the sister tried her whole life proving that the person she most suspected of killing her sister really was the killer but nobody believed her at first. This book taught me to tell my parents if my sisters are doing something there not suppose to because maybe I will save a life or something I don't know. I would encourage everybody to read this book because it will really teach you something and even send chills down your spine. That's why I am giving this book 4 stars.

Summary: My Thoughts on Daddy's Little Girl
Review: "My sister, Andrea, was murdered nearly twenty three years ago, yet it seems as though it was just yesterday." Mary Higgins Clark's Daddy's Little Girl, centers around just that; the murder of a loved one. Clark displays the obsessions of one woman, and the lengths and risks she goes to in order to uncover a mystery. With a constant change of setting and a never ending list of characters, this book becomes a journey through one's life and emotions. Through just the right amount of suspense and thrill, Clark achieves a frightening, and greatly anticipated ending to her story. Beginning in the childhood of a seven-year-old, Ellie Cavanaugh faces the tragedy of her sister Andrea's murder. Rob Westerfield, Andrea's teenage sweetheart, comes from one of the most powerful and prominent families of Westchester County. Following an agonizing trial, he gets charged with the murder and put behind bars. As a successful investigative reporter twenty-three years later, Ellie is still not satisfied. After moving back to Westchester County, she contacts many relatives and friends in search of valuable information for the website she builds. Her goal is to prove Rob's guilt to the public, and stop his release from jail. As suspected, the Westerfield family discovers Ellie and her plans, and with all of their power refuse to rest until she gets "taken care of." With impact, the setting of this book plays a considerable role in Ellie's investigation. She returns to her home town, where the murder took place, in order to dig up old information, not earlier discovered. Her childhood, along with other countless memories continually come up, which make Ellie only more eager to incriminate Westerfield. Rob's grandmother's garage, the murder site, was also the secret meeting place of Andrea and Rob. Ellie visits this crime scene and almost relives the day she discovered Andrea's body. "Even though the garage was filled with shadows, I could still see Andrea's long hair trailing out from under the blankets, surrounded by a pool of blood." The garage reminds her of that horrifying part of her life, which significantly displays her obsession with Andrea's murder. The places Ellie visits help to portray the character's personality and willingness to do just about anything for her research. Most of the information Ellie receives is from the different acquaintances from her youth, which makes the characterization of this book equally effective. For very valuable sources, she tracks down old friends, who supply her with interesting stories about her sister and Rob. Along with those, some unhelpful and disturbing people contact Ellie through her website, with terrorization and threats. "Why are you picking on Westerfield? You better watch your back lady." Several times Ellie receives phone calls or e-mails from anonymous people, which eventually force her to move with regards to her own safety. Westerfield and his family have certain people constantly watch Ellie, in order to track her down and stop her plan to bring down Westerfield. She remains in continual contact with various people throughout the book, without whom her investigation is possible. Next in relevance, the plot of the book and the events that take place have a vast effect. Clark centers her story on one woman who fails in getting over the murder of her sister, which took place over twenty-three years ago. Even though someone has served time for the crime, Ellie's obsession will not go to rest. Her fixation and infatuation drives her to investigate and search intensively in order to prove her point. That same obsession, in contrast, also puts her and other's lives on the line, which is a risk she is willing to take. Important, but not a major factor in the book, the language goes right along with the plot. The first section, written when Ellie was a little girl, consists of a seven year old's diction. That detail helps in explaining her mind-set and reaction to her sister's murder. Because the whole book is written from Ellie's point of view, the fact that she puts a lot of blame on herself proves evident; this contributes to her enthusiasm later in life. The second part switches to her adult hood, twenty-three years later, and includes a more mature choice of diction. With the language style used, all of Ellie's thoughts and emotions show, which helps to better the understanding of the book and its numerous characters. Daddy's Little Girl is a superb choice for a reader who enjoys suspense and mystery, in that every detail plays a significant part in leading up to the climax of the story. Mary Higgins Clark does a wonderful job of keeping the reader interested and eager for more. With a very in depth and textured plot, the book never fails in being effortless to follow. Each character stays recognizable, and key in making the story come together. With its strong theme and intense story line, it is easily to read and understand. Along with all of Mary Higgins Clark's books, this "must-read" is recommended to everyone for its well-sketched characters and strong pace. It contains the perfect mix of suspense and heroism.
