Was this supposed to be a children's book? It's so juvenile and simplistic that even most kids would find it boring and insulting. It's frightening to think that there may be an adult market out there somewhere for this type of drivel. I see that this author's next book ("Fleeced") has had its publication date delayed until the end of next year. This is good news, since it will prevent unsuspecting readers from getting fleeced for a while. This author's mother (well-known mystery writer Mary Higgins Clark) should convince her daughter to change her name! I've never heard of "brand extension" in publishing before, and this example is hurting the mother's well-earned reputation.
