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: Review of Let Me Call You Sweetheart
Review: Mary Higgins Clark writes another page turner for her faithful readers. Kerry McGrath, an astute prosecutor and divorced mother, joins the list of Clark's famous heroines as she takes mystery lovers on a ride through this multi-tiered suspenseful story. McGrath deals with plastic surgeon Dr. Smith, who recreates the beautiful face of his murdered daughter on other patients, mob figure Jimmy White, her ex-husband and mob attorney Bob Kinellen, antique expert and thief Jason Arnott, and powerful politicians. They all become neatly tied in the end to the murdered Suzanne Rearden. The young prosecutor juggles motherhood that deals with fear for the safety of her ten-year old daughter, and of course attracts the attention of fellow attorney Geoff Dorso who represents the convicted murderer Skip Rearden. Allusion to the song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" in the title and the book is ironic because it represents anything but love for the murdered sweetheart. All the same, this sweetheart of a book will keep you burning the midnight oils.
