Summary: Nepotism At Its Finest
Review: It's obvious that this author has only made it to the big show because of her mother. Each installment of this series has gotten worse, to the point they're barely tolerable anymore.

The characters are never really fleshed out, and with the connection of Regan and her novel-writing mother, all you can do is picture the Higgins Clark women, since there's nothing to tell you otherwise about them. The writing is also very poor, often seeming very juvenile. And too many supporting characters makes for a very confusing story.

The author really needs to work on her writing skills. She's already a step ahead, having the in to get herself published. She should take the time to use that chance to her advantage.

Summary: An excellent mystery
Review: Los Angeles private investigator Regan Reilly is in New York City for several reasons. She's going to visit her parents and also attend the crime convention her mother has put together. She looks forward to seeing her significant other Jack Reilly, the head of the Big Apple's Major Case Squad. Unfortunately Megan has little time to visit with anyone because her friend Thomas Pilsner needs her in her official capacity.

Thomas is president of the Setler's Club, a place where people who are free thinkers congregate, exchange new ideas and have fun. The club is in decline but two of its' members, Nat and Dan are planning to contribute four diamonds worth four million dollars to revitalize the club. Both die before they can give their gift. Thomas wants Megan to find the missing donation before the Setler's Club becomes history. Other people are searching for the diamonds including two very dangerous grifters who will use any means at their disposal to get what they want.

The fifth installment in the Megan Reilly mystery series is a humorous private detective novel starring a heroine who keeps the audience hopping with her many exploits. The support cast is filled with quirky eccentric characters that add a vein of humor to the story line. Carol Higgins Clark, like her mother Mary Higgins Clark, is a dynamite storyteller who excels at her craft.

Summary: A Good &Pleasant Read
Review: This is my first official Carol Higgins Clark that I have read. While I was disappointed in the past with her collaborations with her mother. I really like Fleeced I couldn't put it down storyline was nice. She will never be on the same caliber as her mother. But she has her own style. Which is great.
