Product Description

Review

Andrea, a 15-year-old girl, is bludgeoned to death and her boyfriend Rob is jailed, based on the evidence given by her younger sister Ellie. More than 20 years later he is released and is determined to clear his name, using the evidence of an alleged new witness that frames someone else. Ellie, now an investigative reporter, has always felt partially to blame for Andrea's murder and wants to foil Rob's efforts. She takes leave from work and dedicates her time to creating a website detailing his irascible behaviour in the hope that this will prove his culpability, without a care for the danger she is putting herself in. This is a clever and gripping page-turner from Mary Higgins Clark, the 'Queen of Suspense'.


Product Description

At just seven years old, Ellie Cavanaugh lost her sister Andrea to a brutal murderer. It was her testimony that put Robson Westerfield away, but now, twenty-two years on, he is about to be released. Ellie, now a writer and investigative reporter, senses trouble and travels to her hometown just as Westerfield arrives and begins a campaign to prove his innocence. Ellie still suspects him, as does her estranged father, and both are determined to thwart his attempts. But someone has other ideas...Someone who is picking up where Westerfield left off, commiting other dangerous acts that send Ellie spiralling into a whirlwind of secrets, lies and deceit. Can she uncover the truth before a desperate killer sets his sights on her? As events reach a head, Ellie realises she might be the only person who can seek vengenance for the past...

2.0 out of 5 stars Page turner? Yes but...., 4 April 2003
By R. Pearlman "writer" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picture Mary Higgins Clark as a dear sweet white haired lady who hasn't really served time at the Life School of Hard Knocks. I might be completely wrong, because, as a grandmother myself, I certainly don't see myself as a white haired lady, but it is a certain quality in her writing which I can only describe as naive. I was going to put "endearingly naive" but I don't think so, I think "irritatingly naive" would be closer.

I was very gripped by this story, written from the perspective of the adult young woman whose older sister was murdered when the author was seven. The killer who has always protested his innocence of the crime, has served 22 years and is now free, but the author wants to prove once and for all that he was guilty.

To achieve this end, the writer makes it her mission in life to dig out all the dirt on the supposed killer and put it on her Website (sic). From the technical detail (or lack of it) used in the description of the website production I have little or no confidence that the author has any idea at all how to write and/or upload a website, but just hopes that if she keeps the details vague, we will be satisfied and assume she knows what she is doing. Or that most of her readers are similarly dear little white haired grandmothers who know as much about doing a website as the author, and will be none the wiser by the lack of technical know-how.

For example, she is given a map of the grandmother of the alleged killer's house, supposedly used to set up a robbery and attempted murder of said grandmother by her dastardly grandson. The author decides to put the map on the Website. How she achieves this using only a laptop in a hotel room, with no access to a scanner, we are not explained.

The author continues to put as many defamatory and unsubstantiated accusations on her Website as she can lay her hands on, and despite being warned of the safety of this tactic by everyone within a thousand mile radius, she is obsessed with proving this man's guilt, and listens to no one.

However I would be willing to forgive Mary Higgins Clark this endearing (??) naivity as to the technical expertise of grandmothers out there, if the book had some genuine twists and surprises in it. I won't spoil the story for you but suffice it to say, that element for me, ruined the whole reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARY HIGGINS CLARK AT HER BEST, 21 May 2003
By F. Javier SANCHEZ ARTEAGA "javiersarteaga" (Toledo, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With a very few exceptions (i.e., her short stories collections) I have enjoyed Mary Higgins Clark's intrigue novels all through the last 20 years when I read "The Craddle Will Fall". Years have passed by, but she sticks to her old premises and nevertheless she still gets me stuck on the book and many times I have read some of her novels from begining to end in just one day. In "Daddy's Little Girl" her magic is back with a difference, the use of the first person to narrate the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Stop Read, 3 May 2003
By A Customer
I've never come across this author before but the sleeve caught my eye while passing some time in the airport. I'm glad it did. With hindsight the story is a bit corney and will make a great film for tv, but once you start to get into the character of Ellie, you really start to live her quest. The plot throws up plenty of "what if" scenarios that make it totally compulsive to get to the end just to see how it all works out. While I really loved this book, the ending could've been more sharply written, but all the same I did have a tear in my eye. It's a very easy read and if you have a couple of hours to kill, I can't think of a better way of doing so.
