I always have to remind myself that Carol Higgins Clark’s Regan Reilly series is kind of a goofball one that can’t be taken 100% seriously. I mean, this second installment took place at a hotel hosting a pantyhose conference as well as a mortician conference. Higgins doesn’t take herself seriously and nor should the reader; “madcap” is a good descriptor for this series. I enjoyed this book as long as I reminded myself not to take it too seriously and to just enjoy the ride, for what a ride it was. Higgins’ signature writing trait is to create 3-5 different plot lines that initially feel a thousand percent unrelated and then somehow weave them all together neatly by the end, which never fails to impress me.

It was a nice quick read that gets right to the point and continues the action until the end. I enjoyed the fast pace. I skipped around when reading the Regan series and am getting around to books I've missed.

Another good Regan Riley mystery. I enjoy these lighthearted mysteries. The mystery is never hard to figure out, but she fills the story with such quirky characters.

It is nice to read a mystery that isn't solely about murder but other mysterious elements. It seems rare these days. The characters were written very well too.

While I feel like the author was going for a playful, fun mystery, it just came out as cheesy and grating on my nerves. I don't know why I just can't get into her books.

Definite improvement over the first book! Couldn't put it down and read it cover to cover with only a 20min break for dinner.

I'm not entirely sure what it is about these books that kind of irritates me, but I think it might be Regan and her sarcastic internal monologues. I love sarcasm, but hers just grates my nerves, moreso in "Snagged" than in "Decked," and I'm just not sure I want to go on with this series. All the other reviews I've read sy the series gets better as it goes along and I must say I enjoyed 2010's "Wrecked," quite a bit more than I'm liking this one.
Regan Reilly I find to be kind of annoying and this story feels, dated, and like it just hovers around on the surface. The whole story doesn't quite gel. If the series doesn't get any better, I might have to abandon it, but I'm willing to give it another shot.
(If this review seems familiar, that's because I had a goodreads account before that I'm copying my previous reviews from. Why did I create a new account, you ask? Well, because when I logged out of that account and then logged back in, I find that that account appears not be linked to any of my known email addresses, so I'm starting over from scratch!)

It's a disservice to call Snagged a Mary Higgins Clark book, but I'm struggling to conjure up a dissimilar phrase. Where the tone of the mother's books is serious, angsty, and harrowing, the tone of Carol Higgins Clark's Snagged, is playful.
Here we have the main character Regan Reilley who is in Miami for a wedding, and her adventures begin when she meets Uncle Richie, who needs protection from an unknown adversary. Regan provides that when she can. In fact she rescues Richie a lot of times, methinks.
The spin of the book is that the villain is tragicomic and we are meant to experience glee at her various failures in marshaling her resources. This book is worth reading. Supporting characters such as Regan's parents, Luke and Nora, add to the pleasant mix. The resulting book is much fun to read. I can see myself re reading Snagged again.
