Since Mary Higgins Clark has been a renowned suspense author as long as I can remember (and longer), I decided I would see what the hype was about and if I might enjoy her work.I guessed the culprit pretty early on, just from the general rule of, "Who seems to be the most unlikely suspect and doesn't appear to have direct ties to the case but doesn't really belong in the story otherwise?" And the suspense was just so-so. It was fairly easy reading, and not an overly complicated plot, which is fi...

LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART - GoodClark, Mary Higgins - standaloneBeauty has its price... Kerry McGrath had only begun to work in the county prosecutor's office at the time of the infamous "Sweetheart Murder Case" -- the bizarre slaying years ago of strikingly beautiful Suzanne Reardon. Now, ten years later, Kerry has gained a reputation as a smart and relentless prosecutor -- so much so that her name has been given to the governor as a candidate for a new judgeship -- and her new life and career...

3.5 STARS "A visit to a prominent New York plastic surgeon with her daughter leads Kerry McGrath, a New Jersey municipal court judge and former district attorney, on a quest to find a killer, before a man she had once helped convict of murder dies for a crime he did not commit." (From Amazon)A great suspense novel from Mary Higgins Clark.

It was an okay read.I genuinely HATED that Kerry talked negatively about her daughter's father to her. I did NOT see the ending coming. It did not make the book though.

Prosecutor Kerry McGrath sees a woman she thinks she recognizes in the office of plastic surgeon Dr. Smith while accompanying her young daughter, Robin, for an appointment. Kerry realizes this woman eerily resembles a murdered woman, Suzanne Reardon, found strangled to death with sweetheart roses scattered over her body. It was a vicious crime the media dubbed the 'Sweetheart Murder' case. Suzanne's husband, Skip Reardon, was charged and convicted, due mostly in part to the suspect testimony of

A tribute to the late Mary Higgins ClarkI haven't read any MHC for at least a decade, maybe closer to two - but I devoured these books as a teenager. After she passed away recently, I decided to revisit one of her books - to pay my respects, and also I was curious to see if it held up. I honestly enjoyed it more than the majority of popular domestic thrillers that top the bestseller lists nowadays.I think I stopped reading MHC books when my teen brain eventually clued in to the formula, and I wa...

|•|SPOILERS|•|It took me 5 days to go through this book even with it's not-so-big size. I was pretty inconsistent. Sometimes reading a lot, other times not reading at all in a day. Initially, it was quite boring but when I got a hang of it, I was hooked. The plot distribution was excellent. I would have appreciated if there weren't so many characters and even if there were, Will Smith's character's death was so disappointing because we invested so much time in him, he was the presumably the best...

When prosecutor Kerry McGrath’s daughter (Robin) is in a car accident, Robin needs plastic surgery, so Kerry takes her to brilliant plastic surgeon (Dr. Charles Smith). While in his office she notices a beautiful patient that looks familiar. Then, on another visit, she notices another patient with the same face. Kerry finally figures out who they look like… Suzanne Reardon, the “Sweetheart Murder” victim that was killed over ten years ago. Why is Dr. Smith putting Suzanne’s face on these women?

This novel is a unique piece of suspense that can make you keep reading and reading for hours. The plot of the novel is a whole new theme that I haven't read before. I would not deny the fact that Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors. I am fascinated with the character developments in the novel. It kept me intrigued all the way till the end. The plot of the story was cleverly written that makes it very interesting. This novel had a lot of suspects, and I did not get very suspicious o...

"You know you're reading a good book when you have to cover up the next page so you don't read ahead" This quote applies to this book (especially the last 50 pages). It was an interesting suspense novel and one of a kind that makes you anxious to read more as the plot thickens. First you assume the culprit is a certain person, then later you find that other people fill the criteria, and just when you think you have finally figured it out, a final twist turn the story upside down.Before this nove...

What I AdoreI wouldn’t deny the fact that Marry Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors. I became a fan of hers after reading Loves Music, Loves to Dance, also the very first from hers that I’ve read. I always love how she makes every reader won’t stop reading her story.This book kept me glued to it. Never really saw the ending coming. I also like that even it’s a suspense book, she incorporated some humor and romance in it. I’m even one of Kerry and Geoff’s loveteam fans!Her style of “who d...

I loved this book - I have read all of Mary Higgins Clark's books and liked all of them.

This was another delve into my high school past. Originally I read this book based on the title and had never heard of Mary Higgins Clark (oh to be young again!). Kerry takes her daughter Robin to a gifted plastic surgeon after an accident for minor facial lacerations. While she is in the waiting room, she sees an eerily familiar woman. On her follow up visit, she sees another women who has a similar face.Eventually she remembers the murder of Suzanne Reardon, "The Sweetheart Murder". Why is thi...

This was a pretty standard Mary Higgins Clark. I have read a lot of her books, and she has a pretty consistent style.This novel had a lot of suspects, and I did not get very suspicious of the actual murderer until like two pages before we find out who it was. So, I was kept guessing. So many people saw the victim dead! That makes it hard to figure out who actually did it.This book concerns itself with a ten-year old murder case. The accused is still in jail and still protesting his innocence. A

This was my second book by Mary Higgins Clark and I am already in love with her mysteries... The way she portrays a strong woman's character is the most appealing... The book kept me glued to my ebook reader the whole night... Looking forward to read more of her works....

MHC never lets me down. Great read, good twist at the end.

I still remember this book. I even bought a copy for myself. Let Me Call You Sweetheart is actually one of my favorite books by Mary Higgins Clark.Every story has its uniqueness, something that will set them apart from other books. And for this, I can say that this book fits into that category. This book has an unusual twist -- a plot that involved plastic surgery. The author knows how to keep her readers interested and hooked from page one up to the last.The heroine, Kerry McGrath has taken an

For me, the one redeeming quality of this book was the big plot twist at the end. But even that, was dealt with far too quickly, I thought. The chapters were far too short, and didn't allow enough time for me - the reader - to get to know and get attached to any of the characters. So when a character was threatened, or felt any kind of emotion, it stayed on the page for me and that makes unenjoyable reading. I want to feel the emotions that the characters are feeling. I want to get inside the ch...

If you missed the TV movie version from a decade ago, get ready for an intense thrill ride in Mary Higgins Clark's Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Kerry McGrath was a devoted mother and a successful prosecutor. When her daughter's face was cut in a car accident, it sent her to Dr. Charles Smith's office for plastic surgery. Little did she know that two faces bear an uncanny resemblance to Suzanne Reardon, a young woman was killed eleven years ago by her husband, Skip, who spent his life in a life se...

This was my first Mary Higgins Clark book and boy was I not disappointed! I didn’t want to put it down, it’s rare to find a book that keeps you guessing until the end. I also loved that Kerry was a strong female character. I hate reading book after book about needing a man to swoop in and save the day, it was very refreshing. The only thing I found I didn’t like was the quick introduction to so many characters- it was hard to keep them straight at first.
