A review by mythyagain
The Lottery Winner by Mary Higgins Clark

2.0

This is a collection of short mystery stories all starring the amateur sleuth, Alvirah Meehan, a former maid, instantly turned lottery millionaire. At first, I liked the idea of short mysteries, but all the suspense from Clark's novels is deleted from these "cases". In fact, in most of the stories, it is obvious who the murderer is, the only mystery is how Alvirah will get them to confess. Published in 1994, Alvirah uses the "high tech" recording device located in her sunburst pin. Unfortunately, the mysteries, like the technology, are outdated and boring in today's day and age.
