My Gal Sunday (Abridged): Henry and Sunday Stories Audiobook

" This is a book of short stories about an all too perfect husband/wife sleuthing team. They are all too perfect in that they are rich, both attractive and all around too wonderful. Frankly, I found their perfectionism a bit much, and therefore, had to subtract two stars. The stories were okay, but there really wasn't any suspense involved because the couple was too perfect, so you knew that everything was going to turn out okay. Definitely not one of my favorite Mary Higgins Clark books. I would probably not read anymore about this sleuthing couple if given a choice. "

" This was an "ok" book for the lovely MHC. It's not my favorite, by far, but was a decent read nonetheless. "

" A dashing ex-president and his young congresswoman bride become an irresistible sleuthing duo in four acclaimed stories from the Queen of Suspense. Henry Parker Britland IV -- wealthy, worldly, and popular -- is enjoying an early retirement. His new wife, Sunday -- as clever as she is lovely -- has just been elected to Congress in a stunning upset victory that has made her a media darling. Henry and Sunday make a formidable team...and never more so than when they set out to solve baffling high-society crimes. From a long-unsolved case they reconstruct aboard the presidential yacht to a kidnapping that brings Henry frantically back to the White House, the former president and his bride engage in some of the most audacious and original sleuthing ever imagined. Only Mary Higgins Clark can so seamlessly meld spellbinding suspense, wit, and romance. My Gal Sunday is entertainment of the highest order. "

" Nice collection of short mysteries involving Henry Parker Britland IV( the former president) and his new bride Sandra O'Brien(also known as Sunday) who is a congresswoman. Hope to read more of these. "

" I found this book less than suspenseful and predictable. This is a collection of short stories and each story was easily figured out before it was half read. The characters seems to me to be a bit out of step with the ages described and were a bit two-dimenstional. "

" This was 3 short stories with the same two main characters. It was good and a quick read. It worked out well to have it with me while flying. "

" I have been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark for a while now. I usually enjoy her style of writing. The problem with this collection of short stories is....they are just too short. While the characters are likable, the plot line speeds along until a bad guy appears out of left field. The lure of a mystery is to try to figure it out before the last chapter. Not have it handed to you. Definitely would not recommend this book to anyone. "

" I like Mary Higgins Clark books but this one, although enjoyable was not all that good. A quick read though. "

" This collection of shorts about an American ex-President and his darling Congressman wife will suffice if this is the only book left in the hostel book swap and there is time to kill at a coffee shop. Even then, the minutes might be better spent people watching. "

" This is a book of short stories. The character weren't well developed or believable. They are perfect, flawless people. The stories themselves would have been better suited to a book instead of a short story. The book follows a formula that in a short story just does not work. "

" Not bad, but not my favorite of her novels. "

" I think I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's still a Mary Higgins Clark book, but it has four short stories about the same characters. I liked the characters although they were very fairytale-ish in the reality of them existing. "

" This is a good mystery from Mary Higgins Clark. It deals a little bit of politics in Washington D.C. A good read! "

" Cute! Mary Higgins Clark's suspense stories scare the heck out of me so I don't read them anymore, but this was pretty low key and I got to enjoy her mysteries (this one has four short stories) without being scared to stay home alone. "

" Mary Higgins Clark writes a good, clean mystery. "

" Nothing special--interesting to read 4 short mysteries featuring the same husband a wife team. "

" Really good book I read it in a day. It has 4 short stories in it and they all involve the ex president and A woman named Sunday. Really good book it you love short stories. "

" Such a small book with a big story. "

" can't remember what this was about "

" I really didn't care for this "Couple". Too cute and too predictable and totally unbeleivable. "

" This was a group of short stories. Good to read if you have time to kill and don't want to think very hard. "

" This was a fun, easy read though a little predictable. I enjoy Mary Higgins Clark, but I thought that these short stories had characters that were too perfect and cheesy. I would recommend her other novels over this. "

" These are novellas featuring Henry Parker Britland IV, the 44 year old multibillionaire ex-president of the United States, and his wife Sunday who came from poor but humble origins but is now the beautiful and brilliant lawyer, Congresswoman. It gets worse from there. "

" A nice gentle read. Sal is a congresswoman who has married the recently finished two term president. They are wealthy, popular and loving. The book is really four different adventures or mysteries. It makes me wish Clark had written a series with just these characters. "

" Another hit out of the ball park! Mary is such a wonderful author I have never found another author that could measure up. "

" Eh, it was okay. I honestly had no desire to keep reading any of the four stories, but I did want to get the book over with. The stories weren't that bad, but I just didn't feel drawn into them or care what happened--especially since it was obvious they would all have a happy ending. "

" Typical MHC. No depth to the characters, not enough information given to the reader to figure out what is really going on or how its going to turn out. But a quick read and easy escapism. "

" I really enjoyed this series of short stories from my favorite mystery writer of all-time. "

" This book was ok and it was nice collection of mysteries/ stories. "

" I found this book less than suspenseful and predictable. This is a collection of short stories and each story was easily figured out before it was half read. The characters seems to me to be a bit out of step with the ages described and were a bit two-dimenstional. "

" Such a small book with a big story. "

" I like Mary Higgins Clark books but this one, although enjoyable was not all that good. A quick read though. "

" I read this when I was younger and I loved it. "

" I loved this pair . Wonder why they were never repeated ? "

" Cute short mystery stories with a fun husband/wife sleuthing couple. "

" This collection of shorts about an American ex-President and his darling Congressman wife will suffice if this is the only book left in the hostel book swap and there is time to kill at a coffee shop. Even then, the minutes might be better spent people watching. "

" I listened to this one on tape. Well narrated and very entertaining. "

" Mary Higgins Clark writes a good, clean mystery. "

" A nice gentle read. Sal is a congresswoman who has married the recently finished two term president. They are wealthy, popular and loving. The book is really four different adventures or mysteries. It makes me wish Clark had written a series with just these characters. "

" There are four stories here with the same key charakters. The second story was good but the last two not really good. It just simple story with simple problem. No need really deep analysis. "

" This book has 4 stories. The first one was pretty good. Blut the other 3 are mediocre at best. "
