"My husband and I listened to this on a weekend trip. Great story. Loved the humor spread throughout the 2 mysteries going on in the story at the same time. Wonderful characters with great twists and turns within two seemingly separate incidents that become intermingled. Regan Reilly is getting married in a week and she, her mother, and her best friend Kit drive into Manhattan for the final gown fitting. When they arrive, the door is ajar, there's a shredded and bloodied wedding gown on the floor and the owners/designers/seamstresses aren't answering...Regan and company find them gagged and tied up in their bedroom in the apt./studio/business. Then somewhere else in the city someone is robbing a bank... the same someone that has been pulling a number of heists throughout the city, but only on snowy or rainy days..."

— Shannon, 2/17/2014" Want to read the rest in this series. A really quick read and would be great for the beach. "
— Harriette, 2/17/2014" Regan Reilly, LA private investigator mystery. Regan is in New York for her wedding when a number of things go wrong. Her wedding dress and several others are stolen and Regan investigates to find the missing dresses. As usual, there are several plot lines involving the stolen dresses, a woman who disappears, a bank robber, a couple of cons, and brides with problems, which all come together for the usual happy ending. "
— George, 2/5/2014" Cute....again not one of her best, but was readable. A good one for at the beach and not really caring. "
— Jessica, 2/1/2014" Fun, clean mystery. I do like mysteries that are a more mysterious though. The reader knows who the culprits are almost from the beginning. The mystery is how all the characters' relationships intertwine. This one is in the middle of the Reagan Riley series, but was okay as a stand alone. I listened to it on my way to and from class, and on the way home from Boise. "
— Lauri, 1/31/2014" It was a good book. I really like her mother Mary Higgins Clark so I thought I would try her daughters books. Not as unpredictable as those books but it was still good. I liked that it had romance in it and it wasn't all mystery. It was a nice book to have read. "
— Tori, 1/30/2014" I always love the Reagan Reilly. As always very entertaining and a quick and easy read. "
— Isabel, 1/30/2014" VERY light read, the Regan Reilly series are cute, cheeky little mysteries....pretty easy to figure out but good if you need a mindless book here and there. "
— Amber, 1/18/2014" I was looking for a quick, fun read and this was not it - boring and uneventful. "
— Gina, 1/16/2014" Carol fuses two seemingly unrelated musteries, taking us from the streets of NYC to the casinos of Atlantic City. "
— Terry, 1/14/2014" What can I say, I love Mary Higgins Clark and I now love her daughter Carol. Mysteries are my favorite and this book was great. They way the Reagan works under all the pressure she has and that it just keeps piling up, it makes you realize you could have it worse (sometimes). "
— Lori, 12/30/2013" I discovered this on vacation last year and am so glad I did. I love the way she writes - it's very entertaining and fun! "
— Jill, 12/22/2013" good old fashioned mystery story written on a 4th grade level...just fun easy reading "
— Klo130, 12/22/2013" I liked this book. I've read the books she co-authored with her mother and I truly enjoyed them as well. I've read many of her mother's books and they're more intense. I will read more of Carol HC's books! "

— Dawn, 6/12/2013" It was pretty much what I expected, a easy to read mystery involving several characters whose lives all intertwine throughout the plot. A good summer beach read, if you want something light and fast paced. "
— Heather, 4/3/2013" This was a cute mystery. I enjoyed reading it but it was hard to keep up with all the different characters at first. The author surprised me a few times in this mystery. The ones I had pegged as being guilty were not even close. Good book. "
— Judi, 2/11/2013" Like all of the Regan Reilly books, this is a fun, easy read with some mystery thrown in! Thoroughly enjoyable. "
— Marilynn, 10/4/2012" A good book with love and mystery. "

— Sharon, 7/24/2012" Wanted a quick read over the holidays. Good book. Typically Higgins Clark writing. "
— Tonya, 7/7/2012" This is the second book I've read by Carol Higgins Clark and I like her books almost as much as Mary Higgins Clark's books. Hitched was a quick, suspenseful read and perfect for reading on my train commute. I like Carol's strong female characters. A fun read. "

— Marla, 10/30/2011" its obout this detective that is getting married and she had to solve the case "
— Pat, 9/2/2011" Don't judge me too harshly for my love of lowbrow fiction! Carol Higgins Clark's books are as simple as her one word titles, but for quick poolside read they are just right. "
— Amy, 6/20/2011" A good summer read as it takes place at the beach. Regan and her mother head to the jersey shore to help her friend at her garage sale. It turns into a case of a missing actress that had rented the house. "
— Kristin, 6/13/2011" Regan goes down to the Jersey shore for her mother's birtday. They attend Edna's garage sale. Look for missing actress Cleo Paradise and there is generally just a lot going on. "
— April, 6/8/2011" Read this on my Kindle. Quick and entertaining. "
— Bschulman87, 6/5/2011" Not a great mystery but a fast read.... "

— Gail, 5/30/2011" It was fun -- a simple mystery without being gruesome or gory. Regan Reilly is always good for a few laughs and is able to solve the case. "
— Barb, 5/29/2011" This was just OK. There were too many ultra quirky characters in this story. I like the Christmas books she writes with her mother much better. "
— Carol, 5/22/2011" Although I don't like her writing as much as her mother's, and although everyone is a little-too-conveniently tied together, and although it's just mindless reading, I do enjoy her books. "
— Peggy, 5/18/2011" This was a quick, fun read which all the Regan Reilley books are. Carol Higgins Clark does a great job creating a variety of interesting, and often twisted, characters and surprises you with who's done it. "
— Anita, 5/18/2011" Another fun read from Carol Higgins Clark. A light mystery, there are always lot of entertaining characters and enough twists and turns that while you may have met the bad guy(s), the end result isn't quite what you expected. Quick and fun, I always look forward to these releases. "
— Jennie, 5/17/2011" Another quick read in this enjoyable series...I may be partial due to the "Jersey Shore"setting. "
— Susan, 5/15/2011" Like all her Regan Rielly mysteries, this one was short, funny, and not too scary. A good choice for me when I don't have a lot of time to read. I can put it down for a day or so, and not loose track of the story or important details. "
— Dawn, 5/12/2011" I love Carol's books (and her mom's) because they take place in New Jersey. I really like recognizing the towns and places in them. This book was a bit anti-climactic, but good. "
