Summary: Toxic
Review: I've always wondered why Mary Higgins Clark remains so popular, and LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART did nothing to provide me with an answer. Never mind Suzanne Reardon, the gorgeous brunette (aren't they all?) who turned up murdered ten years ago. The real corpse is the book, an uneven, utterly unconvincing piece of puerile fluff that I literally threw against the wall upon reaching its thoroughly implausible conclusion.Clark's sole narrative strength is her control of pace--because her story moves so swiftly and her chapters are so short, it's easy to scarf down the cliche-ridden, plain-vanilla prose even while realizing that you're not enjoying a particularly imaginative or substantial meal. Here we have the same kind, intelligent, beautiful heroine who finds herself lost in a tangled web of murder and lies, yada yada yada...the only thing that distinguishes this bland protagonist from the other prototypes from Clark's feminist factory is her name, Kerry McGrath (God, even that sounds artificial). It really doesn't matter who killed Suzanne Reardon, because Clark doesn't seem to care one way or the other. As I neared the end, I started thinking, "Oh, God, no, she's gonna make the killer that person...no, not even SHE would stoop that low." But she did stoop that low. To me, identity of the killer wasn't just a lame disappointment--it felt like an outright cheat. Especially since I'd invested much more time and energy than these characters really deserved. Someone please explain to Ms. Clark that while it's OK to make the murderer the least likely person--Agatha Christie did it all the time--you might want to include a chain of logic (and maybe even a few clues would have been nice) so that it comes close to making sense, plotwise. Speaking of the divine Dame Agatha, I think I'll go reread another one of her mysteries right now--that's probably the only way I'll be able to get that awful genre hackwork taste out of my mouth.

Summary: One of her best novels.
Review: This is definitely one of Mary Higgins Clark's best mystery novels, complete with a great, shocking ending. It is not easy trying to guess who murdered Suzanne Reardon in her house one night. It is up to prosecutor Kerry to find out the truth, even if it puts her career and life in peril. Clark explores the world of plastic surgery as well, especially since she finds out that Dr. Smith has been giving other women the same face as his daughter, Suzanne. Clark also creates characters who are obsessed with money, power and beauty. You'll have to read it for yourself to find out.

Summary: Basic mystery that keeps you guessing!
Review: I thought this book was pretty good. The plot was interesting and there were quite a few possibilities as to who was involved with crimes throughout the story. It was a basic story that kept getting deeper and deeper with its twisting plot. I was pleased with the ending and I would definately recommend this book.

Summary: Makes me want to read more
Review: This was the first Mary Higgins Clark book I've read. I've had it laying around the house forever and just never seemed in the mood. Then, today, I ran out of anything else to read and picked it up. I couldn't put it down and read it in about 3 hours. Ms. Clark kept me interested in the plot twists the entire time. I couldn't wait to see what happened. It makes me want to read some of her other books.

Summary: Let me call you sweetheart
Review: Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark This book was very good. I really enjoyed reading it. Although it starts off slow and out of nowhere, the plot thickens and it is a big surprise at the end. Suzanne Reardon, a wealthy woman, is murdered. Over her body are sweetheart roses, hence the name. Her husband was convicted of the murder. He is in jail for at least 30 years without parole. Ten years later, Kerry Magrath and her daughter are in Dr. Smith's office, for a plastic surgery counseling. Kerry sees a Suzanne Reardon look-alike. She looks into Dr. Smith and finds out he is Suzanne's father. This leads up to a number of other suspects including Jonathan Hoover, Jimmy Weeks and others that may have had interest in Suzanne. It leads up to the end where Dr. Smith is murdered as well. Kerry then finds out who the killer is, but not soon enough. She goes to the killer's house and she and Robin are to be killed until someone who couldn't before helps them. I recommend this book to anyone who is willing to stick with it and loves a good mystery story.

Summary: I loved this story!
Review: I loved the story! It was very suspenseful, a real page turner. A very suprising ending, and lovable characters. I was so sad when I put it down, I wanted to know more about what happened to the characters! Of course I almost always feel that way about books that I love. I would highly recommend reading it.

Summary: let me call you sweetheart review
Review: I thought that this book was very good. The parts that I liked best about this book was that when you thought that you were going to figure out who the killer was of suzzane they came up with some new kind of evidence to make you get off track. At different points in the book I thought that the killer was actually Jason the guy who knew all about antiques. But in the end it wasn't. It was Johnathan, the friend of Kery. This book was so good that I could not stop reading it.

Summary: Fine
Review: I think it's a fine book kind og confusing. If you never read MHC books before you should read it, but if you did than this one is the same as her other books, same plot. After reading three books of hers it kind of got anoying.

Summary: Monotonous, Implausible, Convoluted and Confusing
Review: Let Me Call You Sweetheart, by Mary Higgins Clark, read by Bess Armstrong. A convoluted and seemingly implausible tale. Not MHC's best by a long shot, but may have lost a lot in the abridgement, which is pretty awful. Too many characters (and too many of them lawyers!) and the setting jumps between New York or New Jersey -- never quite sure. Finally, Bess Armstrong has a smooth, lovely voice, and excellent pronunciation. But it's kinda like listening to the voice mail lady read you a story, hard to catch the differences in characters, and somehow beautifully read and monotonous too? THE LOTTERY WINNER (read by Edith Bunker!) was a joy to listen to; and The Anastasia Syndrome was a delightfully neat collection - but take a pass on this one.
