The queen of suspense has a new book of short stories and a new set of sleuths. The setting is the nation's capital, and the detective team, a mere ex-president and his congresswoman wife. They find themselves immersed in a number of intrigues, rescuing the well-connected and powerful from scoundrels of all stripes. Although the setup has promise (a sort of "Thin Man Goes to Washington"), the book doesn't deliver the suspense and plot development that has made Mary Higgins Clark a bestseller. Fans of The Lottery Winner may be disappointed--and not only by the absence of the beloved team of Alvirah and Willy.
Reviews:
kivernia (Dominica) (2009/06/24): Do yourself a favour and run out to your favourite bookstore or library and get ‘My Gal Sunday’ if you have not yet read it. To the un-initiated, I am not responsible if you find out details of plots in this fanfiction that you would rather not know – you’ve been warned. To reiterate: If you don’t want stuff spoiled, I’m warning you that there are SPOILERS ahead, and you probably shouldn’t read my inferior story before you read Mary’s book. Clear as mud?? Good.
