Fun ... a return to Clark's older style By Jill Dennison Mary Higgins Clark has become known as the "Queen of Suspense" in the years since her first novel, Where Are the Children (1975) and for good reason. Her suspense/mystery books are reminiscent of Agatha Christie with plot twists and turns, multiple red herrings, and a dramatic conclusion that the reader comes to understand only in the last pages of the book. Her novels for the last decade or so have focused on the uncanny sleuthing skills of Alvirah Meehan and her husband Willy and did not have the same edge as her earlier works. Daddy's Gone A Hunting, however, is more of a return to her earlier style and was a quick, easy and suspenseful read with just the right mix of suspense, loveable and hate-able characters, plot twists and humor. My only complaint, if in fact I have one, is that there are so many characters that it becomes difficult to remember who's who. Since I read the Kindle version, I must say the x-ray feature would have been of great benefit in this case, but unfortunately was not available for this book.The story begins with a deadly explosion in the furniture warehouse of the Connelly family of New York, known for their high quality reproductions of fine antique furniture. Injured in the explosion is daughter Kate Connelly and dead is Gus Schmidt, a long-time employee who was bitter over having been fired five years earlier. Kate had called Gus, asking him to meet her at the warehouse in the wee hours of the morning, and now Kate is in a coma and Gus is dead; suspicion naturally falls on these two who cannot tell what actually happened. This is also the story of lawyer Mark Sloan from Chicago, his mother, and his sister Tracey who disappeared 28 years prior when she went to New York to pursue her dream of an acting career. And it is the story of a man named Clyde, a hero, a decorated Vietnam Vet who came home emotionally damaged after the war and left his family for a life on the streets. Their lives all convene in this tale of greed and subterfuge with just a little romance folded into the mix.The book is fun, fairly non-violent for a mystery and appropriate for any age group from teens to seniors. While I have also enjoyed Ms. Clark's aforementioned series with Alvirah and Willy, this was a welcome switch back to her earlier style which led me to be a fan of her writing decades ago. Don't be put off by my 3-star rating ... those who follow my reviews know that I only give 4 or 5 star ratings to books I believe have significant social value, are destined to become classics, or are among the best books I've ever read.

First, it had a large cast, divided into three groups; two that are each connected with a murder (or probable murder) victim and a third that has to do with what is loosely the main story line. I say loosely because all three are important story lines, but the other two are in the past. I had a lot of trouble keeping the various characters and their names straight in my mind and I was a little annoyed that the woman whom I believed would be the central character at the first turned out to be only one of several central characters. I figured out the "surprise ending" before any character in the book even got suspicious (except Kate, of course) and had worked out most of the rest of the plot before it was revealed, which is unusual for me. The only really MHC-ish things about the book were that the characters were well-developed as usual and dear old Jimmy Neary and his pub showed up, which gave a feeling of familiarity. Definitely worth reading (and I'll probably read it again, later) because I don' think MHC can write a really BAD book, but not quite as good as some of her other books.

The stories are always suspenseful , and the characters believable. I know this book just came out, but I am already looking forward to her next book!
