Review: This was my first Mary Higgins Clark book, and I loved it!!! Clark is a master at creating mystery!! The plots woven within the plot make the story especially interesting, and the myriad of suspects Clark presents keep you guessing at who the killer is until the very end!!! I was very surprised at the identity of the killer, and you will be, too!! All in all, this book is one you won't want to put down!! It puts Nancy Drew to shame!!!!!!!!

Summary: Excellent Suspense Novel
Review: This was the first book of Mary Higgins Clark that I ever read. I was doing a report for school at the time. I fell in love with the writer from the very beginning. She keeps you in suspense the entire time you are reading. Since this book I have read every one of her other books and would recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good mystery novel.

Summary: I'm sorry, but WHY....
Review: While my Pretty One Sleeps was a typical Mary Higgins Clark novel, filled with suspense, mystery, and murder. While it was a good book, it wasn�t one of Clark�s better novels. Clark is a good writer, however; While my Pretty One Sleeps isn�t as good as some of her others like All Around the Town for example. The plot was well developed and the characters were believable.
Neeve Kearny is a high-class New York clothing storeowner who has a good intuition of the disappearance of one of her best customers, Ethel Lambston. Ethel is a famous gossipy author, who suddenly disappears without a trace. No one seems to notice or cares that Ethel is missing except for Neeve. After police finally realize she is missing and not out on one of her infamous get-a-ways, they find her body in a nearby park. Suspects start popping up and the police start a search for Ethel Lambston�s murderer. Ethel�s nephew moves into her apartment and starts inheriting her fortune. Him being her only kin he is surprisingly not disturbed by his aunt�s death, which makes him a main suspect for the police. Another suspect pops up which is Ethel�s ex-husband. He was the last to see Ethel alive and neighbors heard them in an enraged argument. Neeve Kearny struggles with her friendly client�s death and it brings back memories of her mothers� death, which happened 2 decades before. With a twisting and mysterious ending the two deaths are intertwined with a shocking murdered.
This was my forth Mary Higgins Clark novel that I have read, even though it was good, I must say it wasn�t one of the best. I like the kind of book that when I�m reading it I can�t seem to put it down, with While my Pretty One Sleeps it wasn�t hard for me to put it down and walk away from it. Only because the suspense wasn�t there until the last few chapters. Most of the book is just setting up the characters and circumstances for the suspenseful ending.
Clark�s character development was definitely good and made each character come to life and seem somewhat real. I�ve read other books and not really felt I knew the characters by the end of the book, but with this one I could. Neeve, the main character, was a complex character having to deal with Ethel�s death and then her past with her mother�s death. Clark did a good job getting into the minds of each character and why they felt how they did.
Even though she once again wrote another murder mystery book I could honestly say it was believable. The circumstances and how each person reacted to them were completely believable in the sense that the plot could easily happen. The plot of the story was well developed. Bringing the past and how Clark connected it to the climax of the book shows how well of a writer she is. One of the best things about this book was how easy it was to read. I wasn�t struggling to find definitions to big words and getting lost in point of view or flashbacks the whole time.
I do recommend this book to other Mary Higgins Clark readers only because it�s an OK read for one of her novels. I do not recommend this book to someone who has never read any of her books. I would suggest to start out on another novel of hers like All Around the Town or Remember Me. They are good and really get you deep into the book. Over all I rate While my Pretty One Sleeps 3 stars.

Summary: Suspensful and delightful, hard to put down.
Review: While My Pretty One Sleeps was an interesting novel. It was suspensful because I never knew what was going to happen next and if anybody was going to die. It was also hard to put down because I wanted to know more and more and see how the story would develop

Rating:
Summary: Great! The surprise ending left me speechless.
Review: While My Pretty One Sleeps was excellant! The story was great, and in the end I had no idea the killer would be the uncle! I never thought the pacific reef drawings would have so much of an effect on someone life. And then when he spilled the water all over the cookbook, I didn't even think much of it until the end.

Summary: Erin Guldenstern's review- Ms.Olivet
Review: Who killed Renata Kearny? That's the question in Mary Higgins Clark's novel, While My Pretty One Sleeps. Dragging you in from the first page, the killer changes until the end. Finally the killer is made known, and it's the last person anyone would think of.
Neeve Kearny owns a fashion shop in New York City. Her father is the ex- police commissioner and was just offered a job in Washington. Neeve is worried about her father because of his recent heart attack. Her father, Miles, is worried about her. Neeve's mother was killed years ago in Central Park while taking her morning jog. When Nicky Sepetti is released from jail, Miles becomes worried for Neeve's safety, because Renata's killer was never found. Sepetti was the expected killer.
Kitty Conway was a women of 58. She had strawberry blonde hair and gray eyes. She was at Morrison State Park when she first saw it. As her horse raced down an incline she thought she saw the impression of a hand within a bright blue sleeve. When she got home she keep thinking about the blue sleeve. Had she really seen it? She had to go find out. She retraced her steps and found a body. It was later identified as Ethel Lambston. Everyone thinks her ex-husband killed her, to get out of paying alimony. Now two people have been killed and one more in danger of being killed. If this excites you, read the book While My Pretty One Sleeps to find out who really killed them.
I enjoyed this book, because the excitement makes it impossible to put down. This book keeps you thinking until the end. If you love a book with suspense and character twists, give this book a try. If you love trying to figure out whodunit in a good mystery, you should read this book!
