Summary: Read at your own risk - and only if you liked Legally Blonde
Review: Henry Parker Britland IV is the ex-president of the United States. Newly married, he wants nothing more than to relax with his beautiful young wife. Unfortunately, the ex-president seems to attract trouble, and in MY GAL SUNDAY, he and his new wife find themselves in the middle of three precarious situations. Three short stories comprise this short book, and the mysteries seem to get progressively worse.

I read one novel by Mary Higgins Clark prior to this one, and my expectations were high. However, I was incredibly disappointed with these three short mysteries. They were predictable, dull, and uninteresting. And worse, the endings were sudden, leaving me with the distinct impression that the story didn't so much end, but that Mrs. Higgins Clark had run out of things to say. Hey, maybe she became as bored with the characters while writing as I did while reading. Mr. Ex-President was much too whiny for my taste, while his lovely wife seemed more like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde than the wife of a president in her own right.

The book's only redeeming quality is that it's a quick read. At only 206 pages, it'll only kill one afternoon out of your life.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice, quick mysteries
Review: I picked up this book at the library, as it was the only one by Mary Higgins Clark that I hadn't read yet (because I had read such poor reviews). It was definitely WORTH the read. The mysteries are quick and easy....no 300+ pager here. The only bad thing was that I really didn't care for the ending on the last story. it just kind of ended very suddenly, when things were getting good. Overall though, this book was a quick read and was enjoyable. I loved the characters, although I couldn't relate to that terrible yearning to go home and make my husband a gourmet meal!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, light mysteries
Review: I enjoyed meeting Harry and Sunday and their friends. It may not have the throat in mouth suspense of many of MHC's books, but it was an enjoyable change of pace. I would Definitely! buy any additional stories with this charming couple.
