The Cradle Will Fall

Summary: It is excellent
Review: "The Cradle Will Fall" is in my opinion one of Clark's best. It's become one of my favorites too. It has all the classic devices of hers you've come to love if you're a fan of her mysteries. Although you do find out "whodunnit" a little earlier than expected, I don't think that detracts from the intriguing story she's built up...you won't be able to put it down and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Review of The Cradle Will Fall
Review: Mary Higgins Clark published a chilling and inquiring novel, The Cradle Will Fall. Kathleen DeMaio, an assistant prosecutor, and Richard Carroll, a medical examiner are called to investigate a recent crime scene in which a pregnant woman seems to have committed suicide. They work together to put the pieces of the suicide together, as well as form a loving a sincere relationship. They analyze and question several suspects and crime scenes in the case. Through these investigations, Richard realizes that the last person to have come in contact with the deceased woman was Dr. Highly, the victim's doctor. Was the crime suicide, or planned murder? Now, Katie, not knowing Richard's conclusions about Dr. Highly, finds herself in the hospital for minor surgery. By coincidence, the surgeon is Dr. Highly. What will become of Katie?
Mary Higgins Clark is an excellent mystery writer. Her plot is complicated, yet well planned out and suddenly comes together at the end. The story begins a little slow but soon becomes fast-paced and intriguing. You will soon wonder if the detectives will ever crack the case and you will also start to solve the mystery yourself. Her character's personalities are unique and each one comes to life. She makes you feel as if you know each one personally. I enjoyed the personal relationships that develop throughout the novel as well as their feelings and emotions. Overall, the novel was full of suspense and terror. Mary Higgins Clark makes you feel as if you are in the operating room the whole time. There were many late nights in which I couldn't put this book down. I would suggest this book to all teenage or adult mystery lovers.

Summary: Chilling!!!
Review: Mary Higgins Clark's "The Cradle Will Fall" is the third book that I have read of hers(The other two were "On the Street Where You Live" and "The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Short Stories"). This one is my favorite and different from the others. It is very suspenseful. The killer, in my opinion, is one of the most psychotic villians I have ever read in a book! This book is really great. I totally recommend it if you wand a very suspenseful book to read. Read it and you just might become a fan of Mary Higgins Clark like I have.

Review: This book was the first book I read by Mary Higgins Clark, and I immediately wanted to read more. Her writing is so easy to read, and you are hooked by almost the first chapter. The characters are developed thorougly, and it's hard to put down. Though it is exciting, I will admit I was more intrigued by "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." You should check that one out before "The Cradle Will Fall" because I think the plot is a bit sneakier, and there's a major twist at the end. You know who the killer is the whole time in "cradle". Overall though, a great read.

Summary: Favorite MHC book ever
Review: This is my absolute favorite book that Mary Higgins Clark has written. This book is not a murder mystery but more of a mystery of what happens in a clinic. You find out the murderer early on in the book. within the first few chapters as a matter of fact. this book is filled with interesting descriptions of the characters, their actions, and just amazing ideas for a book that was written in the early 80's. Makes you wonder about the things that are actually happening today. this book is truly fascinating and one that you will not be able to put down. This one will earn a permanent place on your bookshelf. I have come back to this book time and time again.

Summary: Very suspenceful!
Review: This is one of Mary Higgins Clark's best yet! The story is fast paced and unlike her more recent novels there is a reasonable amount of characters to keep straight! This was one story that grabbed me immediately and I could not put it down! The plot was believable and just scary enough not to want to read it alone.

I would recommend any book by this author, but this early one is particularly suspenseful!
