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

This review is from: Decked (Regan Reilly Mysteries, No. 1) (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!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great murder mystrey that will make you want to read more, October 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Decked (Regan Reilly Mysteries, No. 1) (Audio Cassette)

this is a great book for those that love mystrey novels. When I first started reading it I wasn't too interested and a couple years later read it again and thought that it was the best book. It isn't really serious, in fact very funny. The characters in the book seem very real and after reading the book I would like to see this part of England for myself. The book is not what you would expect and niether are the chartactersin it. This book would be good for those between 13 and 90. It doesn't have much of an age catagorie, but the book might be hard to follow for younger readers. The story is about a muder 25 years old and the detective thats whats to do it gets sent on a first class cruise with an 80year old widow who seems and acts at least half her age. on the cruise ship with them is a jewelthief, a murderer, some newly weds, a pair of odd 2nd honeymooners, a murdermystery writer and a funeral parlor owner. The characters are some that you wouldn't expect. This is a very good book to buy and also read.

4.0 out of 5 stars surprisenly good and humorous..., July 31, 1998

By

snotty80@hotmail.com (somewhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Decked (Regan Reilly Mysteries, No. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I had been eyeing this book for weeks, debating with myself over whether I should buy it or not, and whether it would be as good as Mary Higgins Clark's suspense novels- I'm so glad I finally bought it! It was fiercly entertaning, and funny, with suspense and intrigue all tied up into a little package.DECKED is a lot less serious and not as hardcore as her mother's books, but it is obvious that Carol inherited her mother's suspense writing genes.

Was this book even edited? For example, one of the characters is named Hardwick. In one paragraph it will be spelled Hard wick. Read more

"Decked" is a humorous mystery novel. The mystery was a who-done it that kept me guessing until about the same time as the detective figured it out. Read more

Not too bad but very light....no suspense here. A quick, forgettable read to pass summer day. I would have like a little more substance, but it was okay. Read more
