Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Actress/writer Clark does her mother, Mary Higgins Clark, proud in this skillful cat-and-mouse debut. When Los Angeles PI Regan Reilly is in Oxford, England, for the 10th reunion of her semester-abroad college class, the body of her former roommate Athena is found buried in the woods nearby. Though Athena had disappeared at the end of term a decade ago, everyone had thought that the Greek girl had simply fled for home. Now Regan is appalled to learn that Athena was strangled to death. Another reunion surprise is the engagement announcement of shy instructor Philip Whitcomb, whom Athena adored. Once Regan realizes that she can't help the local police with their investigation, she agrees to accompany spry Lady Exner, who is Philip's aunt and was a friend to all the girls when they were in school, on her ocean crossing to New York. On board are also Regan's parents (her mother is a noted suspense author, her father a funeral director) and someone with plans to kill Lady Exner and her companion. Clark deftly ties the plot playing out on the ocean liner to Athena's murder in a suspenseful climax in this lively series launch.

From Library Journal

First in a proposed series by the daughter of Mary Higgins Clark, this shows private detective Regan Reilly returning to Oxford for her tenth reunion. Discovery of a dead classmate's body on the estate of a former professor and his eccentric aunt, however, dampens any festivity. Regan accompanies the aunt on a week-long cruise to New York after someone poisons the original companion but stays in touch with police. Danger lurks on the boat, of course, and Regan figures things out just in time. A forgettable story with no subtlety, no starch, no strength.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!, Jul 18 2004

By	Heather J. Chilson (Farmington, AR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Decked (Mass Market Paperback)

As an avid reader of the mystery genre, this book was suggested to me through the Amazon recommendation. It is a boring, drawn out book. I have to think the only reason that Carol Higgins Clark is published is because of her mother, the first hint being that she didn't go by "Carol Clark" but seized the opportunity and recognition of her mother's name to sell books. A real shame!

5.0 out of 5 stars AN INCREDIBLE PLOT; HIGH FUN, Feb 25 2004

By	Temple Swann (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Decked (Mass Market Paperback)

I, for one, am getting just a bit peeved at those who think CHC's books are amatuerish and undeserving of publishing. Let us consider for a moment a woman writer--a woman mystery writer--whose books are outsold only by the bible. That's right, Agatha Christie. Let us compare the two. What was AC best known for? Well, it sure as hell wasn't character development. You couldn't tell Poirot from Miss Marple if one of them didn't have a yin and the other a yang. Giving them quirks is not character development. No, AC was best known for...what? Not character development, that's for damn sure. Not poetic, beautiful writing. As you can see, most of her books are slim, hard little gems that are short, fun reads. *Gasps* Much like CHC! What a coincidence! Dame Agatha Christie was known for (drumroll please) ingenious plotting!! Much like in Carol Higgins Clark's "Decked". She inherited this from her mother.
Let's have an overview, shall we?

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: neither CHC or AC

GREAT, POETIC WRITING: neither CHC or AC
PLOT DEVELOPMENT: both CHC and AC
INGENIOUS PLOTTING: both CHC and AC

Am I the only one who sees a pattern evolving here? I thought so. You see, if we adore Agatha Christie because of her deviously simple mysterious plots, then must we not love Carol Higgins Clark for the same reason?? Of course! So, I must ask, if, as writers, Agatha Christie and Carol Higgins Clark are so similar in their plotting and writing, then why the horrible reviews of CHC and fantastic reviews of AC? Think on it a bit. I'm sure it will come to you...

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets you hooked on Carol Higgins Clark!, Dec 29 2002

By	Jennifer Matz (Fairbanks, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Decked (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter does not disappoint, either. This was the first book I read by Carol and I found it a light, quick read and very satisfying - no loose ends left on the last page. Be careful - this one could keep you up at night!

What a poorly written book! Did it not have to pass through editing? How in the world did it ever get published? I take that back, we know how it got published. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Book I've forced myself to read in years

Like another reviewer wrote, I too was skeptical of reading a book by Mary's daughter. I was afraid Carol might be trying to ride her mother's coat-tails. Read more
