Summary: Loved It.......
Review: I have never been disappointed in any of Ms. Clark's books.
I am right there, first in line for her new books. I never
can wait for the paperbacks. I won't go into any details of the book as there are plenty
of reviews here that do just that. I just want to say
that I started reading this book today and couldn't put
it down until I had finished it. And as always, I hate
to finish her books because that means it's over until the
next one. Another book that I couldn't put down was THE GLASS COCOON
by Christopher Jarmick and Serena Holder. I love a good
mystery and both of these books are.

Summary: A poor effort
Review: This latest offering from Higgins Clark plods along a familiar, predictable path, lacking even the small sparks of surprise that usually give her fun but formulaic novels interest and life. As Higgins dutifully sketches out the typical stock characters and plot points, the reader is left with the "been there, done that" feeling that this time, she's phoning it in. Even her editors seem to have pushed this one through the mass-market assembly line without much care: the text is rife with inconsistencies and continuity errors. On one page, we're told that a fictional boarding school is located in Rhode Island, but pages later, it's been moved to Maine. Early in the book, a trial transcript is said not to contain testimony that a murder victim was afraid of her alleged killer--but later on, it does. (Unwittingly, these errors add interest: they, along with the fact that Higgins Clark has written in the first person--a style unusual for her--lead one to wonder if the heroine might actually be insane and leading the reader down a Roger Ackroyd-ish primrose path.) By the time this mediocre story arrives at its super-quick, none-too-surprising conclusion and grade school-style epilogue, the reader is just glad it's over, like a tame carnival ride one has been on many times before. For similar but better-written Higgins Clark tales, try "Remember Me" or "On the Street Where You Live."

Summary: Heroine in Jeopardy Makes For Exciting Suspense Story
Review: "My sister, Andrea, was murdered nearly twenty-three years ago, yet it always seems as though it was just yesterday." Thus Ellie Cavanaugh begins her tale and the reader is drawn into the life of this Atlanta investigative journalist who has never come to terms with the murder of her sister, a murder she assumes partial blame for because she covered for her fifteen-year-old sister by not telling their parents that Andrea was secretly meeting handsome rich kid Rob Westerfield. When Rob Westerfield, the convicted killer, comes up for parole twenty-three years later, Ellie returns to Westchester, New York, the scene of the crime, hoping to prevent his parole. She is, however, up against a rich and powerful family that is able to now produce an eye-witness that will clear the family's name. Ellie fights back with a website outlining all the reasons Westerfield should remain in prison. Many people want Ellie and her website stopped and one person is willing to kill again to accomplish this. Ellie is one of Mary Higgins Clark's more sympathetic heroines. Like most MHC creations, she is a dedicated career woman. But unlike the others, Ellie is isolated. She has lost her sister and her mother because of the tragedy and is estranged from her father. Her only confidante is her boss in Atlanta. Even her childhood acquaintances still in New York think it is time to quit carrying a grudge---Westerfield has served his time, let him be. When evidence starts to mount that Rob Wessterfield is really innocent and the crime was commmitted by another, Ellie swings into high gear to find the answers once and for all so that she can truly put the past to rest. Can Ellie uncover the truth? Will the need for vengeance blind her? Will others deceive her? Can one single woman fight a community and the local law enforcement when her cause is unpopular? Can Ellie ever truly bury the past and move on with her life? This is Mary Higgins Clark writing at the top of her form to give readers a stay-up-all-night-reading novel. The use of first-person gives the story an immediacy and excitement that keeps you interested up to the chilling climax and teary-eyed conclusion.

Summary: Great reading!
Review: I could not put this book down! I have been a long-time fan of MHC, and the past few books have been mediocre in my opinion, but I still purchased them and read them all in hardcover. She has made a terrific comeback in "Daddy's Little Girl". It is intriguing, suspenseful and the main character is very likable. Bravo, Mary Higgins Clark! This is a must read for all suspense fans!

Summary: Realism with Terror
Review: I am glad that Mary Higgins Clark has departed from her meandering in psychic nonsense to produce one of her most satisfying works.Ellie Kavanaugh is a heroine who carries the twofold burdens of her sister's brutal murder and her estrangement from a father, who seems remote and distant.Now an investigative journalist, she seeks to prevent the exoneration of her sister's killer, who is being released from prison after 22 years.Her research leads her to cover-ups, reopening of old family and personal wounds, and the realization that privelege can be a viable obstacle to justice.This book does not suspend credibility and explores delicate issues without being emotionally manipulative. The reader will easily be immersed in Ellie's dogged determination for complete closure.This book is Mary Higgins Clark's first attempt to narrate in the first person and it is most successful. I gained insight into Ellie's feelings and thoughts firsthand and this innovation only heightened the suspense. Excellent in every way!

Summary: Getting Better Again
Review: Clark's first 4 or 5 books were so good that I'll always buy her new stuff. However, since those first works, her efforts are uneven at best, and, particularly lately, I've given her books 2 or 3 stars only, and would probably have given them worse except that they were by her. This book, however, recaptured some, although not all, of her ability to create characters the reader wants to root for and very suspenseful situations. Still, however, the suspense here was a bit contrived, and there was not enough of it. But the lead character was good and I think she did better with dialogue(which in some of her other works is almost embarrassingly stilted and too old for the age of her characters) because she adopted the first person. I think she needs to do the same thing from now on. This still was nowhere near as good as Where Are The Children and A Stranger Is Watching, but it's a good and fast read.

Summary: It was way better than I thought....
Review: When I read the book, "Daddy's little girl" I was surprised because I thought it's going to be not good.
Trust me readers, this Mary's best book so far since "All through the night"

Summary: Another Enjoyable Read
Review: I'm a huge fan of Mary Higgins Clark and this book just reinforced it. Without giving too much away, the plot was different enough from her previous books to peak my interest and hold it. I read this book in two days, loved the ending and highly recommend it. The "Queen of Suspense" has done it again.
Rating:
Summary: Great!
Review: I had been waiting for this one, but then again, that is my sentiment for all of Mary's books! They are all "must reads". This story I loved, and I finished, basically, in one day! I recommend this story to everyone, and as you read, don't forget, you will become part of the story. Be prepared to become a little scared, a little excited, and lots thrilled! Get it!
Rating: 
Summary: major disappointment
Review: I eagerly await any new Mary Higgins Clark book. This time I wish I had bothered to wait for a few reviews to come out before I spent my money. A dull plot with no suspense and a heroine who made me think that she needed to have some extensive therapy.
