Publisher's summary

In this new novel by the #1 New York Times best-selling author Mary Higgins Clark, the reigning "Queen of Suspense", a dark secret from a family's past threatens the lives of two sisters, Kate and Hannah Connelly.

When the family-owned furniture firm, including the mansion where priceless antiques are kept, explodes into flames in the middle of the night, Kate must escape to save her life. But the suspicious circumstances point to her involvement. Was the explosion set deliberately? Why was Kate, a gorgeous CPA for one of the biggest accounting firms in the country, on the premises at that hour? And why was Gus, a retired and trusted employee, with her? Now Gus is dead and Kate lies in the hospital gravely injured. Hannah, Kate's sister and a rising fashion designer, must discover what drew them there and what dangerous secrets lies hidden in the ashes.

Step by step, in a novel of dazzling suspense and excitement, Mary Higgins Clark once again demonstrates the mastery of her craft that has made her books international best sellers for years. Daddy's Gone A Hunting presents the listener with a perplexing mystery and a fascinating cast of characters - one of whom may just be a ruthless killer.

This Book Sucked.

What disappointed you about Daddy's Gone A Hunting?

It was extremely slow. The author kept repeating the story line over and over again. It never went any where. The ending was terrible. This book was a waste of my time. HATED IT!!!!

A bad game of "Clue".

I had heard that Mary Higgins Clark was a great writer but I had never read any of her books. Thought the book was great until the end. VERY disappointed in the trite ending.
I felt that I had lost at the childhood game of “Clue”. I gave it a two because “she had me until the end”.

Not as good as expected.

Lots of unnecessary detail about characters who are not major players in the story. Lots of meaningless detail to try to "set the scene" or create a mood.

A major plot line was suddenly introduced and then immediately solved in a very short chapter without any solid clues or hints beforehand, and the primary mystery was "solved" soon after via the thoughts/reminiscences of a main character. A secondary mystery was then also quickly "solved" via the thoughts/reminiscences of that same main character. Very anticlimactic and somewhat lazy.

It's a mediocre book for mild entertainment but not a great mystery novel at all.

So Many characters

It was difficult to follow the story. So many names and characters to follow..
The story may have been good, if I could follow it.

Im sorry I couldn't even get through this

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I don't like to do reviews and I really like Mary Higgins Clark but I couldn't even make it through this book. I am on chapter 32 and nothing. Really bummed.

What could Mary Higgins Clark have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Speed it up

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Love Jan Maxwell

Disappointed

I couldn’t make it to the end. I wanted to and kept listening thinking there would be an, “ok, here it is” moment but it never came.
