Daddy's Gone A Hunting by Mary Higgins Clark

3.0

---

I liked this one...though I can't say it was overly exciting, or even surprising. I had pretty much figured it all out, including the "twist" about a 1/3 of the way in. Unusual for Ms Higgins Clark as she usually leaves one twist just for the end. The characters here felt flat, the idea of "antique reproductions" was a little flimsy to me and not all that exciting. Gus bought his daughter a fancy house and set up an account to make sure it was paid for and NO ONE knew where he got the money? Dad has a twin brother, but because they were born on 12/31 and 1/1 they were never treated like twins to avoid a curse? Just too many odd pieces that sort of forced the mystery.

It was a nice easy read. I always enjoy her books but this is not one I will be going back to again.
