This Book is Currently in the Wild!

Henry Parker Britland IV is the ex-president of the United States. Newly married, he wants nothing more than to relax with his beautiful young wife. Unfortunately, the ex-president seems to attract trouble, and in MY GAL SUNDAY, he and his new wife find themselves in the middle of three precarious situations. Three short stories comprise this short book, and the mysteries seem to get progressively worse.
I read one novel by Mary Higgins Clark prior to this one, and my expectations were high. However, I was incredibly disappointed with these three short mysteries. They were predictable, dull, and uninteresting. And worse, the endings were sudden, leaving me with the distinct impression that the story didn’t so much end, but that Mrs. Higgins Clark had run out of things to say. Hey, maybe she became as bored with the characters while writing as I did while reading. Mr. Ex-President was much too whiny for my taste, while his lovely wife seemed more like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde than the wife of a president in her own right.
The book’s only redeeming quality is that it’s a quick read. At only 206 pages, it’ll only kill one afternoon out of your life.

The book was offered on the BookRelay site, and is now on its way to thamusician -- enjoy! :)
I received the book today - thanks! Now I have some reading material while flying to Orlando, Florida this week. :)
Actually, I did not have the time to read the book until today, while I proctored the ACT. I normally do not read during standardized tests, but I only had one kid on extended time testing in the room, so I had plenty of time to read. I read the book in three hours - great book!
Although this book may seem redundant, since it is similar to the author's The Lottery Winner (also about a sleuthing couple), Mary Higgins Clark never fails to keep a reader intrigued. I loved the suspense and the fast pace of the book. This book is also great for those who are limited on time - you can read a short story, put the book down, and come back to it. Thanks to laceysavage for sending me the book! :)
