My Gal Sunday

Summary: Read at your own risk - and only if you liked Legally Blonde
Review: Henry Parker Britland IV is the ex-president of the United States. Newly married, he wants nothing more than to relax with his beautiful young wife. Unfortunately, the ex-president seems to attract trouble, and in MY GAL SUNDAY, he and his new wife find themselves in the middle of three precarious situations. Three short stories comprise this short book, and the mysteries seem to get progressively worse.

I read one novel by Mary Higgins Clark prior to this one, and my expectations were high. However, I was incredibly disappointed with these three short mysteries. They were predictable, dull, and uninteresting. And worse, the endings were sudden, leaving me with the distinct impression that the story didn't so much end, but that Mrs. Higgins Clark had run out of things to say. Hey, maybe she became as bored with the characters while writing as I did while reading. Mr. Ex-President was much too whiny for my taste, while his lovely wife seemed more like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde than the wife of a president in her own right.

The book's only redeeming quality is that it's a quick read. At only 206 pages, it'll only kill one afternoon out of your life.

Summary: Not MHC's best but I enjoyed it.
Review: I actually listened to the abridged audio cassette of My Gal Sunday read by Megan Follows from the Anne of Green Gables movies and though it's not Mary Higgins Clark's best I didn't think it was terrible at all and I enjoyed listening to the short stories of Sunday and Henry and I would also like to read the book, short stories are nice when you don't have the time or don't feel like reading a long book but My Gal Sunday is probably more for the die hard Mary Higgins Clark fan or maybe even for people who like short stories.

Summary: Good, light mysteries
Review: I enjoyed meeting Harry and Sunday and their friends. It may not have the throat in mouth suspense of many of MHC's books, but it was an enjoyable change of pace. I would Definitely! buy any additional stories with this charming couple.

Summary: Great read!
Review: I must admit that this is the very first Mary Higgins Clark that I have ever read and while I have read reviews stating that this is not her best work, I have to say that it was good enough to keep me turning pages. It was not oustandingly fantastic, but still a good enough read for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I couldn't help liking Henry and Sunday so much. They're a sweet couple and I loved how they worked together to solve the crimes. Though this may not have been her best work, it was enough to make me want to read more of Mary Higgins Clark's work.

Summary: Nice, quick mysteries
Review: I picked up this book at the library, as it was the only one by Mary Higgins Clark that I hadn't read yet (because I had read such poor reviews). It was definitely WORTH the read. The mysteries are quick and easy....no 300+ pager here. The only bad thing was that I really didn't care for the ending on the last story. it just kind of ended very suddenly, when things were getting good. Overall though, this book was a quick read and was enjoyable. I loved the characters, although I couldn't relate to that terrible yearning to go home and make my husband a gourmet meal!

Summary: What A Dud!!!!!
Review: It's embarrassing to admit, but i must say that i was engrossed in the whole fantasy world of the "rich and famous". I guess i'm one of those wishful, dreamers, which in that case, you may find the book very entertaining. However other than that this sappy love story was nothing but fiction, leaning more towards the conventional soap opera.

Summary: My Gal Sunday
Review: My Gal Sunday is a very suspenseful novel filled with mystery and investigating. At first, the stories start off dull but after a few pages it gets interesting. The suspense builds and builds, making it hard to put down.
The novel is based on the adventurous life of former president, Henry Parker Britland IV and his newly wed bride, Sandra O'Brien Britland. Sandra is better known as Sunday. Each day brings another situation and is filled with trouble.
Clark develops four stories of Sunday and Henrys adventures. Sunday seems to be getting into trouble all the time. Sunday is a very intelligent woman and once she gets involved she never gives up until she succeeds. She gets involved in an unsolved murder case of the secretary of states' ex-wife Arabella. Then she is held hostage by a former client and will not be left go until a dangerous terrorist is freed. Sunday is almost killed many times but she is a very brave person and never gives up. Henry is determined to save her and try to help her get out. He uses his popularity and wealth to help her.
I really enjoyed this book. If you are into solving mysteries with a twist of love, you'll love this novel!

Summary: I Liked This Book!
Review: My Gal Sunday is not this author's best book but I think it's still pretty good, the short stories were enjoyable and I liked the characters Henry Parker Britland IV who is a former US President and his wife, Sandra O'Brien Britland, better known as Sunday. I like Sunday, I know a name like Sunday makes her sound like a ditz but she is far from it and is actually very smart and she is also strong and brave and I like that Mary Higgins Clark wrote her like that and didn't make her a wimpy little airhead. I liked this book and recommend it to fans of Mary Higgins Clark!
