Daddy's Gone A Hunting by Mary Higgins Clark
3.0

Clark has written a decent mystery with intriguing suspense and enough twists and turns to keep it interesting but not so many that it becomes overworked. The characters are just ok. One only ever gets a basic sense of them, but there is never enough to make them garner sympathy. They're all surface characterizations. Many of them feel overly stereotypical and caricature-ish, not realistic.

The story is interesting. The characters kind of boring and overall, this book is just ok. Her more recent novels feel more and more like her daughter's books, bland and insipid. Earlier in her career she wrote some really exciting stories with likable characters.
