Daddy’s Little Girl – Mary Higgins Clark (Disappointing)
She let me down! I have liked almost all the other books I’ve read of hers. They are fast paced and have a good ending. "Daddy’s Little Girl" does not have a twist nor is it a very exciting read. It is something you’d want to read when you have nothing else to read.When Ellie Cavanaugh was eight years old, her fifteen-year-old sister did not come home one night. Her frantic parents put Ellie to bed before she had the chance to tell them about Andrea's hiding place in Mrs. Westerfield's garage. The next day Ellie goes to the hiding place and sees the bludgeoned body of her sister and runs home to tell her parents.
When Rob Westerfield, the convicted killer, comes up for parole twenty-three years later, Ellie returns to New York, the scene of the crime, hoping to prevent his parole. She is, however, up against a rich and powerful family that is able to now produce an eye-witness that will clear the family's name. Ellie fights back with a website outlining all the reasons Westerfield should remain in prison. Many people want Ellie and her website stopped and one person is willing to kill again to accomplish this.
I’d say – don’t waste your time on this one.
