Daddy's Gone A-Hunting
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
What was Kate Connelly—a tall, glamorous CPA—doing in her family's antique furniture museum when it exploded into flames in the middle of the night? Why was Gus—a disgruntled retired employee—with her? Now Gus is dead, and Kate lies in a coma, unable to explain the tragedy's mysterious link to a decades-old missing persons case. And unable to warn her sister what could happen next.
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 bestsellers for years. She presents the reader with a perplexing mystery, a puzzling question of identity, and a fascinating cast of characters—one of whom may just be a ruthless killer.

This slight novel from MWA Grand Master Clark (The Lost Years) shows her in less than top form as she unabashedly piles on coincidences. An early morning explosion that rocks Long Island City, N.Y.'s Connelly Fine Antique Reproductions kills Gus Schmidt, a disgruntled former employee, and leaves Kate Connelly, the owner's eldest daughter, unconscious and seriously injured. Why Kate and Gus were at the site is one question disturbing Hannah Connelly, Kate's younger sister. Complications abound for the financially troubled company, its owner, and plant manager Jack Worth. Also figuring in the unwieldy plot are homeless Vietnam vet Clyde Hotchkiss; aspiring actress Tracey Sloane, who's been missing almost 28 years; and the unsolved murder two years earlier of Jamie Gordon, a Barnard senior with a social conscience. Clark strains credulity and fails to achieve much suspense as she tries to pull all these elements together before the hoary resolution. This one is for devoted Clark fans only.

May 27, 2013
In this tale about three seemingly separate murders committed years apart, Jan Maxwell���s skillful narration ranges from intimate (when detailing the characters��� backstories) to cold and clinical (when describing the characters��� bad behavior). Since the novel, set in New York, involves murder in triplicate, the cast is extraordinarily large���with some characters connected to the long-ago disappearance of a young waitress, some to the not-so-long-ago drowning of a social worker, and still others to a more recent explosion at protagonist Hannah Connelly���s family-owned furniture store. That explosion took the life of former employee Gus Schmidt and left Hannah���s sister Kate in a coma. Maxwell carefully provides each character with a unique voice. For example, Hannah���s initially quiet speech takes on a gradually increasing edginess the closer she comes to uncovering the identities of the villains and revealing her family���s secrets. Gus���s aged widow has just enough of a Germanic accent to suggest her European roots. The rest of the players are given fully imagined voices, from Hannah���s self-centered father, whose florid bombast is often slurred by drink, to a homeless Vietnam vet whose native New York accent is spoken with a thick tongue and inflected by mental and physical illness. A Simon & Schuster hardcover.
