Cradle Will Fall

Summary: The worst mystery writer I've ever read
Review: I recently purchased this book by Ms. Clark, in an airport, deciding to finally discover what all the buzz was about. It is the first, and last, of her books which I will read, and I am most sorry I spent any money whatsoever doing so. The depth of the characterization is shallower than the thickness of the paper on which the letters describing the characters are written. One knows almost instantly 'whodunit', and why, and the remainder of the book is truly pulp fiction. One Tony Hillerman chapter has infinitely more depth, interest, and truthfulness than this entire attempt.

Summary: One of Mary Higgins Clark's best books
Review: I think The Cradle Will Fall is one of the best books Mary Higgins Clark has ever written. It is full of suspense and continually keeps you on the edge of your seat. I thoroughly enjoy Mary Higgins Clarks books but I think this one is one of her best.

Summary: One of my favorite books!
Review: Mary H. Clark outdid herself when she wrote this one! If you love suspense and mystery, you'll adore "The Cradle Will Fall." Like in "Stillwatch", she gives away the killer in the beginning, but that makes it even better! I've read it 3 times and it still makes my heart race when I read it. The main charactor is blind to her obstetrician/genecologist, Dr. Highley's, experiments on his pregnant patients. She has no idea that she is his next victim, until she steps into his operating room.... If you like other Mary H. Clark books,you'll enjoy "The Cradle Will Fall."

Summary: Suspense Until The Very End!!
Review: Mary Higgins Clark has done it again with another suspense-filled book, most probably her best. I could not put the book down, staying up late into the night turning page after page. The doctor in the story really made you stop and think, "just how in the world could a DOCTOR be so cold, callous and murder-driven". I must admit that I thought for more than one time, that maybe, just maybe, he was going to get away with those countless murders. But in the end, he got what he deserved. Thank you, MHC, for yet another brilliantly written novel.

Summary: Review of The Cradle Will Fall
Review: Mary Higgins Clark published a chilling and inquiring novel, The Cradle Will Fall. Kathleen DeMaio, an assistant prosecutor, and Richard Carroll, a medical examiner are called to investigate a recent crime scene in which a pregnant woman seems to have committed suicide. They work together to put the pieces of the suicide together, as well as form a loving a sincere relationship. They analyze and question several suspects and crime scenes in the case. Through these investigations, Richard realizes that the last person to have come in contact with the deceased woman was Dr. Highly, the victim's doctor. Was the crime suicide, or planned murder? Now, Katie, not knowing Richard's conclusions about Dr. Highly, finds herself in the hospital for minor surgery. By coincidence, the surgeon is Dr. Highly. What will become of Katie?
Mary Higgins Clark is an excellent mystery writer. Her plot is complicated, yet well planned out and suddenly comes together at the end. The story begins a little slow but soon becomes fast-paced and intriguing. You will soon wonder if the detectives will ever crack the case and you will also start to solve the mystery yourself. Her character's personalities are unique and each one comes to life. She makes you feel as if you know each one personally. I enjoyed the personal relationships that develop throughout the novel as well as their feelings and emotions. Overall, the novel was full of suspense and terror. Mary Higgins Clark makes you feel as if you are in the operating room the whole time. There were many late nights in which I couldn't put this book down. I would suggest this book to all teenage or adult mystery lovers.

Summary: Chilling!!!
Review: Mary Higgins Clark's "The Cradle Will Fall" is the third book that I have read of hers(The other two were "On the Street Where You Live" and "The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Short Stories"). This one is my favorite and different from the others. It is very suspenseful. The killer, in my opinion, is one of the most psychotic villians I have ever read in a book! This book is really great. I totally recommend it if you wand a very suspenseful book to read. Read it and you just might become a fan of Mary Higgins Clark like I have.
