Didn’t Like It“Did I expect too much? She seems to be calling attention throughout the story on her mother's reputation. She's no Mary Higgins Clark. I doubt that I'll read more although she may improve.” see full review » see other reviews » |

Fortunately I have read some of her more recent works that are much better than this, her initial effort. ”

I can't say this is the worst book I have ever read, but it is close. As an author, Carol Higgins Clark has fallen far from the tree. Her mother, Mary Higgins Clark is known as the Queen of Suspense. Carol isn't the Princess nor close to being the heir apparent.
Regan Reilly is a private detective in England for the tenth reunion of her class. The body of one of her classmates, who all thought had run away prior to graduation, is discovered near a professor's home. Regan is able to put pieces of the crime together while accompanying an elderly woman on a cruise to New York City.
Higgins Clark relies on cliched characters and situations. Despite the vapidness of this book, I will try another of the series to see if Carol Higgins Clark's writing matures.
And, yes, I'm still talking to the friend her gave me the book. Turns out she had very similar feelings about it.”
