Rating:  Summary: It was kind of slow and boring. Review: Stillwatch had a good story to it, it was kind of slow and boring. It took a while to figure out what was going on and when I did, it wasn't that suspenseful until the end.
Rating:  Summary: Just OK Review: Stillwatch was good, but not one of her best efforts.
Rating:  Summary: Stillwatch Review: Stillwatch, was an exciting book to read. I enjoyed reading this book because the constant events kept my attention. Throughout the book, the main character, Pat Traymore, goes one on one with somone who doesn't wish for her to bring out old memories about the senator's past life. The amount of dedication this person goes through to prevent any information from being accessed by the public is outstanding. Other books I have read don't add up to half that of Stillwatch. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that likes detective novels or mysteries. I had my own opinion of who was involved with trying to stop Pat, but the book fooled me and I learned that who I thought was the perpetrator actually had no actual importance part in the book. This book was one of the best books I have read.
Rating:  Summary: It was AWSOME!!!!!! Review: This book is definetly a great book!! It has everything: suspense, romance, and action! It is definetly worth the reading! When I first saw the book, I thought it would take me like 3 years to finish it!! The book is about 356 pages. I read the book in 2 1/2 days!!!! I just couldn't put it down! My friend was reading this book also and she was just totally hooked! I highly recommend this book!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: great book Review: This book was another one of Mary's greats. This book had a very slow tone to it. However, it was full of twists and turns that made up for the slowness. You go Mary, your books are all that.
Rating:  Summary: Brain candy Review: This is a fun thriller but certainly not intellectually stimulating. Some of the dialogue and plot twists are horribly cliched.
Rating:  Summary: I didn't want to put it down.....and I didn't. Review: This was such a great book. I am not a "reader" and I had to pick one author and read three books by that author for a senior English paper and I chose Mary Higgins Clark. This was the first book I read and I read it in one week, that's how good it was! Normally, it would take be about a month a half to read a 300 page book.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Amazing Review: This was the first book I ever read by Ms. Higgins and I was astounded. I use to read frequently, but lost interest in books completely. This book brought me back to the literary world. Thank you Mary Clark Higgins.
Rating:  Summary: My First Mary Higgins Clark Book Review: Traveling from Boston to Washington, D.C., Pat Traymore has come to do a TV documentary on Senator Abigail Jennings of Virginia, the first woman expected to become Vice President of the United States. But before Pat even starts, she receives several threatening phone calls--and, later, a note--telling her not to pursue the program, and to definitely not reside in the same house she had lived in the first three years of her life. This last half of the threat is alarming to her, because very few people know about her parent's murder-suicide in that house, which is part of the reason why she had decided to stay there--so she could find out the truth about their death in private.When she's not searching for clues about that, Pat is delving into Senator Jennings' background, though the woman is reluctant to open up about certain parts of her life, forcing Pat to investigate further. She eventually does get into trouble for that when she reveals too much about the senator's past--involving theft, infidelity, and murder. "Stillwatch" is fairly fast-paced and an all-around good read. While partially a political mystery, it's relatively uncomplicated and free of political jargon, so the average reader can understand it. There's also a small amount of romance involving Pat and Sam Kingsley, an older congressman she had had a brief affair with a couple of years ago, but who has now become somewhat involved with the senator. I'm not much of a romance fan, but this underlying storyline was tolerable and doesn't overshadow the main story; plus I admired how Pat acted in the relationship; she wasn't the typical clingy, overly-sentimental heroine. If this book is any indication of what her others are like, then this certainly won't be my last Mary Higgins Clark book.
