Got to page 56 and quit reading. VERY boring!
This is my first Mary Higgins Clark book and I'm so glad I really liked it. The amazing late Jessica Walter narrated this audiobook so it made it 10x more enjoyable for me. I really liked this and am looking forward to picking up more of Mary Higgins Clark in the future. - R.
A very good Mary Higgins Clark mystery/thriller. A good plot with twists and turns. I could have done without all the fashion industry drama and descriptions of outfits. Some may enjoy it but I have no interest in this nonsense. So three stars instead of four.
I really enjoyed this one. I love Mary Higgins Clark, as you can see by how many of her books I've read! This is definitely a good one!
I hadn't read one of Mary Higgins Clark's books in a while; now, I'm reminded why she is called the Queen of Suspense.
I really enjoy Mary Higgins Clark I find that I have to have enough time to read because I get so involved in the book that I need to have everything right with the world again before I can stop reading.
Mary Higgins Clark continues to be an argument for letting your readers/watchers/consumers of media follow the breadcrumbs deliberately set out for them, rather than changing everything up in the name of surprise. I saw who the bad guy was from less than halfway through, but the journey, watching all the characters figure it out, getting exactly why they did it, that's the fun of it. I don't need a book to blindside me (though Clark does leave some great false trails and I have been tricked befo...
Too much quick certain true love for my taste.Clark also over uses some ten cent words in five cent spots, such as solicitous, she uses that one 3 times in the same page and a half span.If this were my first foray into her universe of books, I would probably not read any others. There are too many authors out there who are better than this.
Ugh! The story line fine but all the talk on fashion and matching this with that got to be a bit much. When a character changing outfits is not necessary to the plot, in my opinion, is pointless unless the outfit has significant ties to the storyline.
Half this book was unnecessary backstory. First the murder is done, then follows 150 pages of 'who-cares' crap. This was a short story that was made into a novella and sold as a short novel. It sucked and the only reason it isn't a worse grade is because once it got going, it was interesting.
Read this when I was like 12 and just reread. The clothing descriptions are incredible.
This book kept me guessing the whole time! It’s been a while since I’ve read a book I couldn’t put down. This one met that criteria. Loved it!
Pretty good but I like her latest stuff better. This one you can tell was written in the 80s as CSI has really developed further now past simple fingerprinting & lie detection tests. Plus it was pretty obvious from about a quarter of the way in who the killer was. Still, I do love MHC's easy style. She's up there with John Grisham for easy, fun reads - an author you know wont let you down.
Thrilling! Keeps you entertained and on the edge of your seat! You can't go wrong!
This was a fun, easy to read mystery. It felt very 90s and I was into it.
The last four or five books I’ve read by women authors seem to place a lot of emphasis on fashion, either as a theme or as a supporting characteristic of the plot. This book is no exception.Neeve Kearny’s uncle is a prominent fashion designer. He set Neeve up in an elite boutique in New York. Ethel Langston, a writer, is one of Neeve’s better patrons. Ethyl is offed. Because the corpse is not dressed in the correct stylish attire, Neeve becomes suspicious. Neeve’s daddy is a retired NYC police c...
While my Pretty one sleeps is a very intense thriller that catches the readers attention by slowly unraveling clues and getting closer to solving the murder of 61 year old Ethel Lambston. The book is very interesting and does a good job of keeping you on edge and leaves you guessing who the murderer of Ethel is through the whole story. It does a good job of introducing different characters and enough of a background to those characters to leave the reader wanting to learn more about them. Howeve...
I really enjoy Mary Higgins Clark's writing style. The reader learns exactly what happens, what people say to each other, what characters are thinking. We see what they are wearing and what their surroundings are like. However, we have to draw conclusions for ourselves--we are given enough clues to figure out the mystery, but we are also given lots of red herrings. The characters are all interesting and understandable--even the villains. This book is no different. Set in the fashion industry in
While My Pretty One Sleeps is another harrowing mystery novel by Mary Higgins Clark. I liked the story but it wasn't as exciting as some of Clark's other works. The plot revolves around the death of Ethel Lambston, the best-selling author who wrote shocking articles about famous personalities. Ethel was a wealthy public figure with a scumbag, leech of a nephew and a hot-tempered ex-husband who was going bankrupt after paying her a total of 12,000 dollars a year worth of alimony; not to mention a...
Captivating read! compelling,interesting and great storytelling. One of my favorite books by this author (paperback!)
