BookLender review by Rholetta on 2007-06-02 18:27:07

I found this book extremely boring. I kept thinking it would get more interesting, but it did not. The author that reads the book, reads it like a children's story with over exaggerrated expression. I regret that I cannot get back the time I lost listening to it. I do not want to give it any stars, but I had to in order to submit this review.

This is definately the worst mystery ever written. The writing is pathetic, the reading of the 'novel' is without luster and it it should be catagorized in the young readers section. It is time for Carol Higgins Clark to seriously consider changing careers.

Yikes! I've always been a big fan of Mary Higgins Clark, but this book is killing me. It reads like a bad episode of The Love Boat. The painful narration does not help. I'm sure Carol Higgins Clark tried hard, but they should have at least hired a professional reader. That might have helped sell the cheesy plot.
