Daddy's Little Girl
From Mary Higgins Clark, America's bestselling "Queen of Suspense," comes a chilling story of murder that reaches the heights of suspense while exploring the depths of the criminal mind.
Ellie Cavanaugh was seven years old when her older sister was murdered near their home in New York's Westchester County. It was young Ellie's tearful testimony that put Rob Westerfield, the nineteen-year-old scion of a prominent family, in jail despite the existence of two other viable suspects. Twenty-two years later, Westerfield, who maintains his innocence, is paroled. Determined to thwart his attempts to pin the crime on another, Ellie, an investigative reporter for an Atlanta newspaper, returns home and starts writing a book that will conclusively prove Westerfield's guilt. As she delves deeper into her research, however, she uncovers horrifying facts that shed new light on her sister's murder. With each discovery she comes closer to a confrontation with a desperate killer.

I have read a few books by Mary Higgins Clark, but this was by far my favorite. Ellie was just a young girl when her sister was murdered. Now years later the man who went away for her murder is getting out of prison. On a road filled with danger, Ellie is on the search for more evidence against Rob that will get him sent back to prison. This story was a twisted web of lies, betrayal, and a families love. The dedication that Ellie shows is what really made this book. She was just a young girl and was put through so much bad and now she is grown and still lives daily with the knowledge of her sisters death. No matter how much danger she is in she still fights to see her sisters killer brought to justice and along the way she helps her family, friends, and other families find justice and peace as well. I really enjoyed this book. It grabbed me from page one. It kept me reading and deeply enthralled. You never know what to expect. So many books like this are so predictable that it takes away the thrill of the story. This book was not predictable and was a very well written. It was mysterious, enthralling, and captivating from start to finish....Stormi

Thoroughly enjoyed the book...BUT would have loved one more chapter to tie everything together...did she finally have lunch with brother and Dad....what happened to Pete....is there revenge in the horizon from the family? Is this the start of a series? Something to get our curiosity boiling? I felt cheated at the end.
