2.0 out of 5 stars very fast light read, August 18, 2004

This review is from: Snagged (Regan Reilly Mystery Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you need to kill some time in a waiting room, I recommend this light reading. The book reads quickly , I like the wriing style, and overall the story is "fun"... as fun as senior citizens watching Matlock daily in the nursing home. There is no real violence so it is very sedate and you'll be able to go to sleep without checking under the bed. The suspense really revolves around the sale of the pantyhose rather than the characters being killed. Overall, if you need to forget your troubles, dive into this book which requires minimal brain activity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Cozy, September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Snagged (Regan Reilly Mystery Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think Carol Higgins Clark's work has been unfairly compared to her mothers'. Mary Higgins Clark's novels are suspenseful and heart stopping. The creme de le creme of the genre. Her daughter's books are cozies - great to relax on the couch in front of a fire with a nice cup of tea. Snagged had the right mix of mystery AND humor (those indestructable pantyhose are a hoot!). I think she proves that though she may not be her mother, she is a top notch writer.

1.0 out of 5 stars In a word - INSULTING, September 6, 2005

By 

DFW Book Lover (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Snagged (Regan Reilly Mystery Series, Book 2) (Hardcover)

This book is insulting to readers of average to above-average intelligence.

To say it is difficult to get published is one of the understatements of the century. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get published these days. Average writers can forget it. Good writers, probably not. Great writers, maybe... just maybe, if your agent and the publisher are in a good mood.

Therefore, you don't see much drivel making it to print anymore. I don't even know if this book is good enough to be called drivel. The immature writing is below sub-par and the characters are so flimsy that they don't even qualify as "cardboard". Even the basic premise of the book is so thin, it should never even have been made into a short story.

But I guess, when your mother is one of the most exhaulted mystery writers of all time, you're allowed to vomit text on to a page and expect to get it printed. Must be nice.
