Decked: Regan Reilly Mystery Series, Book 1 (Abridged) Audiobook

" decided to read all of the series with the Regan Reilly character and while it has so far kept me busy there is something missing... "

" Although this is the "first Regan Reilly" mystery, constant references to past cases made me wonder if I had misunderstood. So that is a bit confusing but doesn't really detract from a cozy little mystery. "

" I love the characters Carol creates in this series. Her writing is lighter than Mary Higgins Clark but I like her style. "

" Immature writing style, not at all like her mother. Characters are believable, but descriptions and dialogue are lacking. "

" I liked this enough to want to read the next Regan Reilly mystery. The protagonist was humorous without being smutty. "

" This is another great Regan Reilly mystery from Carol Higgins Clark that takes place on a cruise ship. A good cozy mystery with suspense and intrigue. "

" The Regan Reilly series is a cute fun read. I have read each one in just a few hours. "

" I needed to take a break from book group/intellectual books and tried Carol Higgins Clark's first book. It was a light beach read, but not ridiculously far-fetched as many beach reads are. I'll definitely read more of her books. "

" Interesting; some what humorous. I'll read a few more to watch the characters develop. "

" I've read most of the CHC books. They are not as captivating as her mother's books but it is a decent read. She has the same character - Regan Reilly in all of her books. I"ll just add a few to the list. "

" I highly recommend this series. From book 1 to the end of the series I didn't want to put the books down. Higgins Clark is an excellent writer. "

" This was my first Carol Higgins Clark book and I found it very boring. The mystery progressed very slowly and was poorly written. I'm not sure I will try any others in the series although I hear they do get better. "

" Regan was at Oxford for her 10 year reunion when the body of her former roommate was found. "

" I really enjoyed this mystery. I got to think, just a little, and laugh, which is always a plus. I also enjoyed all of the characters in this book and the way you get everyone's point of view and you don't have to wonder or guess or make up stuff about some of them. "

" This is Mary Higgins Clark's daughter. Only read this book of hers. Wasn't as quite as suspenseful as a MHC book. "

" From what I remember, I didn't like the way the story flowed. It also seemed far fetched. "

" Thought it was a whitty who-done-it. But it was extremely outdated being that it was written over 20 years ago. But enjoyed it nevertheless. "

" This is the first in the Regan Reilly series. It was about a murder of a classmate from 10 years prior. Regan sets sail with Lady Exner to the U S as her companion. Little does she know that someone is going to murder both of them. "

" I would have to give this book a 2.5. The characters were interesting but I'm more a fan of mystery then suspense and I called the killer pretty quickly. Still it was well written and an interesting read. "

" A little dated but a good murder mystery romp none-the-less. "

" Quick, easy. Good Beach read. Have read one further along in the series that I really enjoyed and thought I'd catch up a little on the history of the characters. "

" Eh, again just okay. I never realized that I've never really liked any of her books. They are ok, but definitely not great. They are something to read if you have nothing better to do. I really don't like being this harsh..... :( "

" Way too many points of view for a book this size. Also the story didn't pull me in. I had to force myself to finish the book at points which is strange because it isn't that thick. "

" Carol Higgins Clark definitely did not inherit her mother's talent. I read her first 3 novels and threw them all away. "

" This was a really light, easy read. They mystery moved pretty slowly, but I really liked Regan and will definitely be reading more from this series. "

" This book was just ok. A lot of fluff. Hopefully as the series goes on the books get better. "

" I vaguely recall unsuccessfully trying to get into this about 15 years ago, but since I just took a cruise I found new motivation. Not a bad run-of-the-mill paperback whodunnit with some witty moments, but needed copy editing. "

" Quick, easy. Good Beach read. Have read one further along in the series that I really enjoyed and thought I'd catch up a little on the history of the characters. "

" I love the characters Carol creates in this series. Her writing is lighter than Mary Higgins Clark but I like her style. "

" A good beach book. Although with temperatures in the 30's and 40's this week, I recommend staying inside and imagining a beautiful ocean or lake in front of you. "

" An enjoyable read. Nothing new here, just a good old fashioned whodunit. Easy and quick to read, with enjoyable characters and a well-paced plot. Good lazy Sunday reading. "

" I really enjoyed this mystery. I got to think, just a little, and laugh, which is always a plus. I also enjoyed all of the characters in this book and the way you get everyone's point of view and you don't have to wonder or guess or make up stuff about some of them. "

" Looking forward to reading more in the series. "

" This is Mary Higgins Clark's daughter. Only read this book of hers. Wasn't as quite as suspenseful as a MHC book. "

" kinda boring, but an ok mystery "

" Great start to the series. I love how light and clean these books are. These are great if you wish to read a book with your daughter "

" Light, enjoyable fun. The quintessential beach read series. "
