I loved Mary Higgins Clarks' books at first. I read the first five (from "Where Are the Children") to the fifth ("Stillwatch") and then stopped. They were all the same--some beautiful young woman...
I admit this is my first audio book with Mary Higgins Clark. But it was amazing. I listen to it in the car on my hour drive to and from work. I found myself over the weekend making excuses to get...
I'm an avid reader who has nothing against a long book, but this 472-pager could have used some editing. Spoiler Alert! I figured out all the "bad guys" and who the heroine's new honey would be...
Nine-year-old Thomas Flemming, who lives in California, is spending the summer with his grandmother who lives in a very old house on Cape Cod, MA, which once...
I actually read this book a long time ago but I distinctly remember having perpetual goose-bumps once the story started to really unfold. If you're looking for a nice "shivery" mystery this...
I'm not a huge Mary Higgins Clark fan, but I have enjoyed a few of her books. However, after reading people like Nora Roberts, Linda Howard, and Sandra Brown, this book seems quite "empty" to me....
This is a fun read, but nothing very deep about it. I really enjoy the plot buildup in Mary Higgins Clark novels. This just doesn't do it. The bad guy is caught and the book is over before you...
I heard the audiotape of this one and found the characters hard to follow. No one had a personality. I couldn't tell Jack, from Alvira, Regan, and Willy.

Like most reviewers, I love MHC (to use the nickname I've seen). She was the first "grown-up" author I read when I was a teen, "Stillwatch" one of the first "grown-up" mysteries. I've always...
After years of people telling me that since I love mystery and suspense I should try MHC, I finally got around to it last year! I read, I heard that song before. Wow, was I disappointed!! BUT,...
Mary Higgins Clark attempts to recapture the essence of some of her older work exploring the relationship between sisters, but sadly it doesn't work as well this time around. The characters are...
This book started a little bit interesting but as i kept reading it was very slow, nothing interesting and very boring at the end, the final disappointed me.
This is the first Mary Higgins Clark novel I've ever read. I picked this one because I'm a genealogist and this book has a family history element to it. I found this book to be well written and...
I was very happy with the Item. I ordered it on 11/22/08 plenty of time before Christmas. I received the Item on 12/26/08. I was very disappointed in the seller. If I have a choice between this...
A long time ago I came to understand that Mary Higgins Clark writes the same couple of books over and over again, just with different character names and motives. And that's about it. It's like...
Kelly and Kathy, three year old twins, are kidnapped while their parents, Steve and Margaret are at a party. When they return home, they find out that the babysitter could not stop...
I've realized lately, after reading (or listening on audio CD) to several Mary Higgins Clark novels, that she is a fine enough story-teller, but she is very limited. She uses the same plot twists...
I am so glad that I bought this book, it is among MHC's best works, in my opinion. The characters are likeable and the story made me second guess myself - I wanted Peter to be innocent, and...
Mary Higgins Clark is a very well known name in the mystery/thriller category and one that I have never had occasion to read before. So, when I had the opportunity to pick up this book, I jumped at...
Okay, I think that by now, all of us Mary Higgens Clark fans got the whole thing down by now: Some lady is pulled into some murder mystery usually involving some political or upperclass thing,...
I read this book when it first came out and was not disappointed in the slightest. I've read every Mary Higgins Clark book ever written. They're page turners, pure and simple, with often riveting...
i enjoyed learning about her youth and how she got into writing but she cut it off way too soon . i would have liked to have read about after she got published and became so successful.
This book is, without doubt, the most boring book I,ve ever read. I guess you can't judge a book by it's author, no matter how many 'best sellers' they write.

I can compare this book with a nicely wrapped box of chocolates, but when you open it and try, you find that they are overly sweet and have some kind of awful artificial filling, and the chocolate...
If you are looking for a murder, dead body, guts spilling type of mystery, look somewhere else, this is more a fairy tale happening in New York city type of mystery. Includes an abandoned baby, a...
~Sondra has always wondered about her baby that she left on the steps of the church that her grandfather went to when he lived in New York and prayed in when things we not going the way that he...
This book was not worth reading. I wouldn't recommend it. Although, it was well-written,it didn't leave a good and lasting impression because the villain in the novel was unbelievable.
well this book is packed with action and suspence. I felt like if I was watching a movie,very fast paced. It is a definite page turner. This is a must read book.
I listened to the abridged (4 cassette) audiotape version of this mystery.
I have not read anything by this author before (really!) although I love mysteries. I thought that the tape was entertaining and held my interest well enough that it proved welcome while driving,...
This cliff-hanging story is about a widow, named Katie DeMaio, who ends up getting in a car accident on her way home from work one day. When she is in the hospital recovering she looks out the...
The Cradle Will Fall, by Mary Higgins Clark. I must tell you that I am disappointed by this book. The story, palpable at many edges and creative in the manner in which one character is painted in a...
Regan Reilly (Carol's sleuth) has her plate full just before Christmas. First Regan's father does not meet her at the dentist office. Alvirah (Mary's sleuth) is there with her husband and offers...
Not much need be said about this book. The plot is far-fetched, and I never accepted the premise or the denouement. Moreover, the jeopardy is cooked. The writing is full of cliches. The...
Believe it or not, I had never read a Mary Higgins Clark book before. It's only recently that I started branching out into this lite-mystery genre. The style of writing and cadence of the story was...
Want an easy read Christmas fantasy? This is it. I always appreciate the co-writing of mom and daughter Higgins Clark and this is another winner. Their writings seem to complement each other and...
If I had to name my ten favorite plots from books, this one would not be on my list. It begins with Sterling Brooks, who died and was waiting to be admitted into heaven. After being judged, because...
The basis for this novel is excellent. I had high hopes as Clark hooked me at the beginning with the plot. However, throughout the book I would tell my husband, "I bet xyz is going to happen...
This book was just awful. A serial killer is killing his former classmates because he "felt" ridiculed by 6 of them during his school years. He's been killing them over a 20 year period. 20 years?...
It was a good read. Kept me guessing till the end about the killer. There were so many characters and anyone could have been the killer. I felt there were still a few loose ends to be tied. How...
Nine CD's is a lot of mystery! I enjoy hearing Jan Maxwell's voice reading the book. I load my CD player and listen to the story as I fall asleep at night. It really puts me out as I focus on the...

Mary Higgins Clarke is a beautiful woman but her perfect image with bouffant hair is not my style. I guess I am not the usual reader of Mary Higgins Clarke stories. That reader is probably...
After hearing my friends rave about Clark's books, I decided to pick up this book to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately, it was pretty much what I suspected. The characters were shallow...
I wont go into details about what the book is about because Amazon and the thirty five people before me did a very good job of that already! I just want to add my two cents as this is my first book...
Pat Traymore is the plucky newswoman in this Washington D.C.-based story of domestic intrigue, in both the familial and political senses of the word. She is very likeable and with one exception...
I was so excited to finally read a Mary Higgins Clark novel. I had heard wonderful things so I bought this novel with high hopes and was deeply, deeply dissapointed.
There is nothing like the blatant atmosphere of rich and powerful celebrities being killed off to make for a good popcon mystery. Fluffy and fun, Ms. Clark takes the sister of a famous actress (a...
Weep No More My Lady follows the Clark formula for her stories. The suspense and guessing part is to find out who amongst the people surrounding the principal players is the killer. Clark was okay,...
The book is well paced and will keep you in the story all the time. You can't compare this plot written more then 30 years ago with the same kind of stories written today. That's because right now...
I haven't read a MHC book for a long time, and forgot how much I enjoyed her books. I thoroughly enjoyed the usual twists and turns of this book, and loved the ending. I was disappointed with...
While my Pretty One Sleeps was a typical Mary Higgins Clark novel, filled with suspense, mystery, and murder. While it was a good book, it wasnýt one of Clarkýs better novels. Clark is a good...
I am still a big Mary Higgins Clark fan, but I am sick of her portraying men in her novels with seemingly irreversible flaws while the women have the endurance and character of Wonder Woman. While...
Great little mystery with all the intrigue we have come to expect from Ms. Clark. She brings some fun little science bits that worked perfectly into the suspense with plenty of interesting...
A respected doctor Gary Lasch was found dead with a blow to his skull. This shows an act of rage. Of course his wife Molly is arrested. The trial was not going well and Molly accepted a plea...
I did enjoy this book very much. But some parts were really slow. I really liked Molly and Fran. Molly wasnt your typical strong woman, especially not at the end. Heres a emotionally fragile woman,...
Some years ago I was discussing reading habits with a friend. I told him that I enjoyed Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, P.D. James and a few others. He told me, "I don't read mainstream...
Three year old identical twin girls, Kathy and Kelly, are kidnapped from their home in the night. The kidnapper, known as The Pied Piper, demands an eight million dollar ransom. The family isn't...
I always enjoy reading any book by Mary Higgins Clark. They usually follow a formula, but this one is much more intricate and suspenseful than her usual, and is the best that I have read.
I've realized lately, after reading (or listening on audio CD) to several Mary Higgins Clark novels, that she is a fine enough story-teller, but she is very limited. She uses the same plot twists...
