Publisher Description
From Mary Higgins Clark, America’s bestselling “Queen of Suspense,” comes a chilling story of murder that reaches the heights of suspense while exploring the depths of the criminal mind as one woman searches for the killer of her sister—and one man tries to prove his innocence.
Ellie Cavanaugh was seven years old when her older sister was murdered near their home in New York’s Westchester County. It was young Ellie’s tearful testimony that put Rob Westerfield, the nineteen-year-old scion of a prominent family, in jail despite the existence of two other viable suspects. Twenty-two years later, Westerfield, who maintains his innocence, is paroled. Determined to thwart his attempts to pin the crime on another, Ellie, an investigative reporter for an Atlanta newspaper, returns home and starts writing a book that will conclusively prove Westerfield’s guilt. As she delves deeper into her research, however, she uncovers horrifying facts that shed new light on her sister’s murder. With each discovery she comes closer to a confrontation with a desperate killer.

"This is by far the best mystery I have read so far. Clark is a wonderful author, and does a great job at captivating the reader. Throughout the book, you can never completely tell who the mysterious killer is, as it should be. It is not one of those books where you can tell exactly what's going to happen from the beginning. I highly recommend this book to mystery lovers."

Quotes

“After [more than 20] bestselling suspense novels, you might think Clark could not improve. You’d be wrong…A superb suspense story.”
— Tulsa World -
“[Clark’s] twenty-first novel of intrigue is her best in years, a tightly woven, emotionally potent tale of suspense and revenge…With its textured plot, well-sketched secondary characters, strong pacing and appealing heroine, this is Clark at her most winning.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Maxwell depicts Ellie as self-confident and assertive, using compelling, rapid speech patterns to emphasize horrifying discoveries in Rob’s past and Ellie's fear as her life is repeatedly threatened. Maxwell and Clark work well together, producing a nail-biting page-turner.”
— AudioFile -
“Less mystery, more raw pain, and a tough-cookie heroine who tells her own story make this a real departure for Clark, and one that carries more conviction than her usual glossy fantasies.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Slowly building in atmosphere and suspense, Daddy’s Little Girl is another top-notch read from the reigning queen of suspense. Fans will devour this delicious nail biter in one sitting.”

— Peanutbuttercup, 1/26/2014 -
" It's a VERY easy read, but I thought it was decent. Your typical Mary Higgins Clark book. It would be great if you wanted to breeze through something...just a little on the cheesy side though. But, who doesn't love a cheesy book once in awhile. "
— Kiley, 1/20/2014 -
" This was a good book, but not great. You never want a murder mystery to be predictable, but this one was. It definitely help my interest, but i needed that big shocking moment at the end and it never came. However, i am not giving up on Clark. "
— Hope, 1/10/2014 -
" Family dynamics add a lot to a book when done right. This one is a winner, and the bad guy is that slimy scum of the earth that is hidden behind polish and money...so its all the more thrilling when he slips. :) "

— Makaylee, 6/21/2011 -
" Predictable but still enjoyable, though I don't understand how someone who watched a family member drink themself to death can drink as much as Ellie does. "

" I really enjoyed this book. There were a some twists and turns that I expected, and a few that I didn't expect. All in all a great read. "
— Starla, 2/1/2011 -
" This book was just OK. A little slow going. The plot didn't really ever gain any momentum, and I didn't ever feel any sympathy for the main character or relate to her in any way. Definitely not the best Mary Higgins Clark book I've ever read. "
— Marnie, 1/27/2011 -
" This was by far the best MHC book I've read. Usually her books are good the first 90% but the ending sucks. This book was good the whole way through. Even a decent ending! "
— Julie, 12/23/2010 -
" I was surprise that it was the same person from the beginning, the story had try to lead you to other characters. Even some of the locals believe that it was someone else. How could the locals know that this person had done more crime than what he was try for. "
— Rhonda, 12/21/2010
