From Publishers Weekly

Set in Las Vegas, Clark's seventh Regan Reilly mystery (after 2002's Jinxed) takes aim at all sorts of eminently spoofable targets, including reality TV shows, advice columnists and screen actors. Regan answers a plea from a grade school chum who's involved in a contest where someone isn't playing by the rules. The owner of the Balloon Channel (aka Hot Air Cable) is sponsoring a contest between two groups-one developing a pilot for a sitcom, the other for a reality TV show. Both, according to the whimsical rules of magnate Roscoe Parker, must have a ballooning theme. The winning group gets its show on the air and a $1 million prize. Regan's friend Danny Madley is trying to put together the reality show, with a couple of assistants, six contestants and a couple of advice columnists. Then there's the cast of the sitcom and its producer, as well as Roscoe, his girlfriend and his assistants. Even Danny's parents show up to meddle or help, as does Danny's ex-girlfriend. The wealth of eccentric characters would be at home in a Dickens novel, but is too much for this slender volume to support. While Regan attempts to figure out who's doing what to whom, Roscoe continues to add obstacles to make the competition more exciting. It all adds up to zany, if not particularly brilliant, fun in the desert, with an ending series fans will love.

From Booklist

Clark's latest Regan Reilly mystery has all the substance of cotton candy, but as a poolside diversion, it's perfectly amiable. Premise is all in the mystery-lite subgenre, and Clark has a doozy here. L.A. private eye Reilly is summoned to Las Vegas by an old high-school classmate, Danny Madley, who needs help desperately. His reality-TV pilot--married couples trying to rekindle the romance and win $1 million, to be awarded in a wedding-cake-shaped hot-air balloon--is being sabotaged by persons unknown. Of course, it's more complicated than that. Danny is in competition with a sitcom producer for the prize of winning a slot on the hot-air-balloon cable network. The network honcho, a crackpot millionaire, will choose the winner after viewing both shows. Clark pulls out all the stops with a cast of goofballs (seemingly borrowed from an old episode of Love American Style ) who romp through first Vegas and then Albuquerque, where the ballooning finale takes place. The writing hovers on the edge of cliche, and there is no suspense to speak of, but the silliness of it all delivers a kind of mindless good time. For Clark's devoted fans--or anyone who finds Murder, She Wrote too edgy. Ilene Cooper

1.0étoiles sur 5 If her name weren't Higgins Clark...., Jui 25 2004
Par Karen Tobin "ladyangst" (Worcester, MA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Popped: A Regan Reilly Mystery (Hardcover)
...would she ever have gotten published? I rather doubt it. I have never been impressed with her writing, and her grasp of grammar is tenuous at best, but some of her books have been at least entertaining. Not so in this case--I'm having trouble getting through this slender volume. The story is simplistic, the characters superficial. The author gives us glimpses into her supposedly bright heroine's thoughts, but she seldom does more than state the obvious.

There is something that has been bothering me about this series, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it until this, latest entry. The setting is supposed to be contemporary, the heroine youngish. Yet, the feeling and tone is not comtemporary, and the language and syntax of the thirty-something characters is much older. I'm not saying I want to hear a lot of bad language--I don't, but the lack of timeliness is jarring to say the least.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Awful, Janv. 19 2004
Par Elaine Ward "Mindysue" (Brecksville, OH United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Popped: A Regan Reilly Mystery (Hardcover)
I have read all her other books, but I just am not able to finish this one. Every other chapter brings a new suspect. The characters are not likeable or well developed. And, as another person wrote, I don't care who did it. Boring and dumb.

This review is from: Popped: A Regan Reilly Mystery (Hardcover)
"Popped" by gifted writer, Carol Higgins Clark was such a good story...creative and fun!

When someone turns a reality show into a nightmare, P.I. Regan Reilly must deflate a cunning crook's plan before the high-flying finale in a hot air ballon turns fatal.

Fun book. Fun Writer. (Buy the book!)

(Recommended Reading!)
