Book #2

Daddy's Little Girl

by Mary Higgins Clark

This book starts when Ellie, is only 7 years old and her big sister, Andrea gets murdered. They have 3 suspects in mind at the time of her murder. One is Rob Westerfield a wealthy 19 year old boy, Paul Stroebel a 16 year old classmate who had a crush on Andrea, and lastly Will Nebels 40 year old handyman. When it was Ellie that led her parents to her sisters body in a secret hideout that Andrea hung out, her parents started to blame her for Andrea's death. It was also Ellie's testimony that put the man she was convinced was her sisters killer away. After 22 years in prison he is now up for parole, Ellie, now and investigative reporter, protests his release. Nonetheless the killer is released and goes to the town they both grew up. Determined to tell everyone that he is a killer she writes a book and makes a web sight, and discovers new insight in her sisters death.

To me, this book was not the best one that I have read by Mary Higgins Clark. I still did, however, enjoy this book to the end. It was written from the eyes of Ellie, the little sister of Andrea, who was murdered when Ellie was only 7 years. So you get a sense of all the action that goes on in the story. I was not into the story as much as I had antisipated though, but still could not put it down. I loved that she was so determined to prove his guilt that she puts herself into danger and then the story starts to roll. It was kinda slow but does have some exciting points to it. I would give this book an okay review.
