Summary: 4 Millions dollars!
Review: A Review by Holli

Alvirah and her husband Will never really had the best life they didn't have very much money but they always seemed to manage. Alvirah always had high spirits she even got excited when they got one number on their lottery tickets to match. But the one that would change their life was they winning ticket they won four million dollars. So their life style changed to a very ritzy life in a hurry but they always kept their poorer roots with them. They moved near high powered people and celebrities. Alvirah also was on the Donahue show she works her dream job and her dream life.

Three things that I liked and didn't like about this book was the beginning it really doesn't grab you like most of her books do. It seems to drag on for a while just describing their life style what they look like and what they do and have done. I think that she would have put it in the middle to so you find out more and more as you go along. Then in the middle when it finally gets going it almost seems to go really fast and just zoom by you before you realized what happened. I liked how descriptive it was though Mary Higgins Clark always seems to have very descriptive books and they seemed to always just grab you from the beginning but this one was lacking that aspect.

This book was a great book overall! I recommend it to people that enjoy mysteries and have just a little patience for slow starting books but also can keep up when it starts moving along fast.

Summary: The Lottery Winner
Review: As a major fan of MHC, I was rather disappointed with this book. Alvirah can get almost annoying at points in the various stories. No one has that much bad luck, or solves that many mysteries. These two characters (Alvirah and Willy) are almost like something out of a teenage novel. I buy all of her book, but received this one as a gift. I did not realize until I went to read it that it is a collection of stories, and not just one. I enjoy her novels, where the stories have a long time to unfold, much more than these short stories. Overall though, if you are a fan, you won't pass this book up. It just is not one of her best.

Summary: Lottery Winner's a winner!
Review: I love this suspenseful thriller It kept on the edge of my sit with each story. I could hardly put the book down. Mary Higgins Clark is a great mystery/suspense writer, which is why she is called the "Queen of Suspense." This book is a plus. If you haven't read it, you need to go and pick up this award-winning novel.
