Rating:  Summary: BORING, BORING, and BORING Review: This book is a dud. The plot is predictable and the characters are stereotypical. I was hoping for a unique mystery/thriller. Instead, I got a boring movie-of-the-week. The publisher couldn't pay me enough to read one of Clark's books again.
Rating:  Summary: Okay-I've Read Better Books But Stuck With It Anyhow Review: This book was okay, but I've read better in the past though-that's for sure. It could have been more interesting.Eben Bean had been known as a man who robbed people of their fine art or gems. He was incarcerated for 10 years in prison for getting caught. However, when he was released he was a new man that was reformed and ready to be out. The wealthy Wood family knew they could trust Eben as their caretaker for their mansion; so they hired him on. But when painting were discovered missing, Eben got the blame, when in fact there was a whole different story altogether. Judd and Willohema were up to no good. But Reagan Reilly the PI in the case, had trouble locating the two.
Rating:  Summary: Entertaining mystery Review: This is the first book I have read by Carol Higgins Clark and I really enjoyed it. Regan is a delightful character. Although Ms. Clark lets you in on some of what the "bad" guys are up to, there are still some surprises at the end!
Rating:  Summary: You're kidding, right? Review: This so-called "book" has got to be a joke, but I'm not laughing. Actually, I'm furious that something like this can be published simply because of who the author is, rather than what the manuscript says. Shame on the publisher for wasting a tree.
Rating:  Summary: I HATE THIS BOOK Review: This was such a horrible book! Don't buy it!
Rating:  Summary: A Disgrace to Literature Review: When you choose to read something that you know will be of the fluff genre you have limited expectations- however, Carol Higgins Clark fails to meet even the lowest standards. She is just awful and painfully transparent. Her writing isn't simple in a charming, thought provoking way but simple, as in dumb. She is incapable of writing anything complex or creative-whether it's a sentance or a plot. Warner Publishing should be embarrassed that they have given this woman a writing contract. If this is the caliber of writing they desire, then they have 6th grade classrooms across the U.S. full of their kind of "talent". This book, as well as her others, prove it's WHO you know in this world, not what you WRITE. Whoever bought this book and propelled it to the New York Times Best Seller list should hang their head in shame.
