Summary: SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK BELOW!
Review: This book is no mystery. I kept thinking that the last few pages of the book were going to reveal that the main character's suspicions were wrong, but in the end, the same thing is true as it was in the beginning. This is a suspence novel, and boy did it deliver! I literally felt my heart beat faster as I read the last 5 pages, and I cannot believe how greatly MHC was able to make me HATE the Westchester family.Ellie is the daughter of a family torn apart when her 15 year old sister is beaten to death over 20 years ago. Ellie was seven at the time, and now, when the convicted murder is out on parole, still claiming his innocence, Ellie is determined to stop him from trying to get a retrial so that he can point the finger at someone else who was a suspect and get his record clear in order to get his family's wealth. Ellie can either let someone else take the blame (who is mentally unstable and just at the wrong place at the wrong time) for the crime, and allow Rob Westchester to inherit his family's wealth with a cleared name, or she can try to dig up more proof that he undoubtedtly killed her sister, allowing his grandmother's wealth go to charity when she dies. Ellis is able to dig up information about his past; a violent teenager who planned to have his great grandmother kililed when he was 17 in order to get her money, a violtent temper that always had him kicked out of private schools, and having his father to pay off people to not press charges, and even a secret confession he made to another inmate about him killing someone else. This book had it all, it was easy to read, and left me very pleased. Tomorrow, her newest book comes out, and if after I just finished reading this book, believe me, I'll be right outside the bookstore waiting for the doors to open.

Summary: Who Killed Daddy's Little Girl?
Review: Surprisingly, I have never read anything by Mary Higgings Clark before. So I'm not sure why I picked up 'Daddy's Little Girl', but it hooked me on the very first page. Now I'm wondering why I've never read anything by her before. Ellie Cavanaugh is a 30-year-old reporter determined to find out what really happened the night her 15-year-old sister was murdered over twenty-two years ago. This is brought on by the fact that her sister's killer, Rob Westerfield, is now out on parole. Ellie, who was only seven when she found her sister's lifeless body, has never doubted Rob's guilt, even though at the time there were three other suspects. Now that he's been set free, she is going to do everything in her power to prove, without a doubt, that he is in fact guilty. Of course, it doesn't help that he comes from a very wealthy familiy. 'Daddy's Little Girl' is supensful, and it also presents you with a pretty interesting case. You may also question whether or not Rob was the real killer. It's also a very quick, easy read - great for a plane trip, or just to pass the time. I've got to say, 'Daddy's Little Girl' was my first Mary Higgins Clark book, but it's not likely to be my last. For anyone who likes her, this a great book. And for anyone who has never read anything by her, it's a great place to start, and it will most likely get you hooked.

Summary: Mary Higgins Clark is Back at the Top of Her Game!
Review: Although always an enjoyable read, Clark's books have taken on such a formulaic tone in the past ten years that it's often difficult to recall which ones you've read. "Daddy's Little Girl" is an exception. With this story, told in the first person from the perspective of Ellie Cavanaugh -7 years old when her 15 year old sister was brutally slain - now a 29 year old investigative reporter building a case for keeping her sister's killer behind bars, Clark returns to the top of her game. Exceptionally suspenseful yet also well conveys the endless emotional damage wreaked on surviving family members. Great beach or rainy day read!

Summary: Mary Higgins Clark Can Keep You in Suspense!
Review: I've always really enjoyed Mary Higgins Clark a lot. I felt this book was another winner yet. Ellie Cavanaugh was only seven years old when her fifteen year old sister was murdered near their home in Oldham-on-the Hudson, a rural village in New York's Westchester County. There were three suspects; Rob Wetserfield, who was nineteen year old scion of a weathy, prominent family, whom Andrea has been secretly dating. Then there is Paul Stroebel, a sixteen year old schoolmate who has a crush on Andrea. And Will Nebels, a local handyman in his forties. It was Ellie who had led her parents to a hideout in which Andrea's body was found wrapped in a blanket with her dead. This hideaway was a secret place where Andrea met her friends often. Ellie was blamed by her parents for her sisters death for not telling them where this place was. It was also Ellie's testimony that convicted Rob Westerfield, sending him to prison for the next twenty three years. When Rob comes up for parole, Ellie, now an investigative reporter for an Atlanta newspaper, protests his release. Nonetheless, the convicted killer is set free and returns to Oldham. Determined to thwart his attempts to whitewash his reputation, Ellie also returns to Oldham, intent on creating a Website and writing a book that will conclusively prove his guilt. Until she is able to prove Rob guilty, Ellie will not be able to lay her sister's murder and her grief to rest. But Ellie better watch her back, because she's also in danger all the way.
Someone is after her to stop.

Summary: Easy read, no twist
Review: Long review short, I was a huge MHC fan until I was able to predict the endings on a regular basis. So I stopped reading MHC books.
I picked this book up after a five year hiatus from reading (I have 2 young children) and it was a nice way to break into reading again. It was easy to read, easy to follow, and quite enjoyable.
Problem: The twist of the book is THERE IS NO TWIST! The book is not a mystery, but a suspense book.

Summary: Not what you expect from MHC but left me in tears
Review: This is not a typical MHC book and I agree that it was pretty clear who the murderer was. But,unlike her other books, this one was rich on character description (Ellie) and just the whole concept of her risking her life to find out more about her sister's death and coming to terms with her father and realizing that although it might have seemed that he did not care about her, she was also his little daddy's girl-well this all was so touching and compelling, it made me cry. So, if you are looking for another whodunit story, this probably would seem like a waste of time to you. But,if all other advantages I described above,appeal to you, then by all means-pick up a copy

Summary: She can't write a really bad book
Review: If you like mystery writers in general or Mary Higgins Clark in particular, then you know that she can't really write a bad book. This one concerns the murder of an older sister and the child left behind. Left feeling guilty for not "telling" on her older sister, the little sister grows up wanting to make sure that her sister's murderer does not get out of prison. It's a great story, like all of Clark's.

Summary: Could Hve Been Better
Review: This book was a disappointment. I have read others of Mary Higgins Clarks and have found that they were very good. But, this one I think she could have done WAY better with the ending.

Summary: A Little Different that Typical MHC
Review: "Daddy's Little Girl" is a little different than the rest of Mary Higgens Clark's books. I love her mysteries for the way she keeps you guessing until the end of the book. This one is way more obvious than usual. The storyline is good, but it is not as suspenseful as it could have been. It's still worth reading.
