Daddy's Gone A Hunting - Mary Higgins Clark
First of all, I really did enjoy the book. It kept me guessing the ENTIRE time. It wasn’t until the end of the book that I finally was given any information as to anything that happened – and I was definitely surprised. The author definitely deserves kudos for that, because, as any avid reader knows, it is hard to trick book lovers.
I think what I most enjoyed about this book was the fact that it was a compilation of different characters and events that all tie together in the end. I did not expect it, but it made it more fun to read the book. The reader was constantly going back and forth and getting a piece of each of their lives – what a whirlwind!
Obviously, Mary Higgins Clark is a well –known author, so I am certain that nothing less would be expected of her. However, I have not ready many of her works in the past – a few here and there – and I can honestly state that I did not know what to expect for this particular book.
One thing that bugged me the most was actually not the story, or even the author’s writing; poor-editing was a huge downfall of this book. This book was published very recently, written by a reputable author, and it came from a popular publishing house. Please tell me, then, why did I find so many spelling mistakes and grammatical errors present throughout the story? (No, it wasn’t written from a perspective to require such errors – they were mistakes simple enough, but there were several of them). Yes, I know I make mistakes here and there – we all do. However, when you run a book through that many tiers before it gets to publishing, mistakes should be virtually undetectable. The reader does not like have to go back and check what was just read to “fix it” in their mind. Very disappointing.
Overall, though, I liked the book. I would recommend to someone who wants some entertainment. Not complicated by any means, it is a quick and easy read to put on the nightstand before bed.
My rating – 3 stars. I would have given it a 4 if there weren’t the mistakes.
