Summary: the brutal murder
Comment: Daddy's little girl, a work of fiction written by Mary Higgines Clark was published in 2002 and later on received number one New York Times best seller. The book was written in first person standpoint and also provides us readers with thought-provoking ideas and often leaves us hanging with doubtful minds about the plot. The book is about Ellie, a journalist whose sister was killed in a brutal murder near their home in New York's Westchester County. Ellie, as a journalist began on her battling investigation against the suspected murderer Rob Westerfield, a nineteen-year-old Youngman from a prominent family, who was dating Ellie's sister. Ellie spent virtually her entire adulthood trying to find hard evidence to prove Westerfield's guilt. The structure of the book is pretty straightforward and was illustrated in a chronological order which is fairly comprehensible and simple to follow. The author uses a normal language to communicate with us readers but simultaneously demonstrates strong tone of voice to make us want to pursue the reading. The whole book is written from Ellie's point of view, the language clearly reveals Ellie's emotions of having the multiple difficulties that she has to overcome with, and pursuing her life without her sister. The style of writing that Clark used in this novel makes you feel as if you have become part of the story through the characters' eyes. Yet, there are also several drawbacks of this book. For example, the middle section of the book is a little bit tedious compared to the beginning. It somehow drags out the process of Ellie finding supportive sources to write her book about the murder. I personally think it would have been better or easier to read if the book did not include so much unnecessary information of her interactions with the Westerfield's family. After reading this book, I have learned to cherish people around me who have always been there to look after me and care for me. I have deeply realized the importance of a complete family. There is no way for a family to be complete with one member missing. However, if you are a reader who is into murders and mysteries, this book would be a perfect choice for you.

Summary: Well written in 1st person format!
Comment: Ellie Cavanaugh has had to live with a guilt trip about her sister's death. Her sister was to meet Rob Westerfield but her father had prohibited her seeing him. Ellie did not tell her parents where she knew her sister would be when she disappeared. Finally, she goes to see if her sister is there in the barn and finds the body of her sister. Running home in a screaming cry, she delivers every parents worse nightmare; their daughter was killed. Ellie has to go from that moment on with the phrase like "If only we knew sooner," to haunt her. She carries blame in her like a ball and chain.
Fast foward to the present and Rob's family has arranged a story to clean his name. Their is money from the grandmother's inheritance on the line in proving his innocence. Ellie, having seen her family torn apart from her sister's death, is determine to make sure that Rob stays behind bars.
Very well written and the author does so in first person. You become part of the story through the eyes of Ellie.

Summary: Getting Better in Each Book
Comment: While MHC's books seem to start falling into a recognizable pattern of events for plot and action, her writing style is getting better and better.
When I first starting reading MHC books, I thought the writing somewhat immaturish, but she has improved in leaps and bounds with her style, substance, and maturity of details and realistic settings.
This is definitely a great read -- recommend wholeheartedly!
