Cursed (Regan Reilly Series #12)

Though a bit light Carol Higgins Clark provides another exciting fun to read mystery

Regan Reilly is all alone in New York City while her husband NYPD Major Case Squad chief Jack Reilly (no blood relation) is in Miami attending a seminar and her parents are in Palm Beach. After being reminded to remove her property from her parents' garage so they can park their cars inside, Regan moves her stuff into a Long Island City storage unit. On the way back to her car, she receives a call from her former apartment neighbor in Hollywood Hills Abigail Feeney.------------------

Her former boyfriend Cody Castle borrowed $100K from her a few months ago to make a movie; he promised to pay her back in three months but instead vanished but recently was seen. She needs Regan to return to California to find him before her grandmother arrives in town to give her a condo as a birthday gift; that 100,000 is needed to pay part of the principal. Regan knows Abigail is a kind person who is a hairdresser to the stars but gives free styling at a nursing home so she agrees to help. However the case takes a spin when someone kills an old rich man she gave a haircut to and the police suspect Abigail in spite of her recent injury on a set. Regan needs to find the murderer, clear Abigail and get Cody which is all in a day's work for the brilliant private investigator. ---------------

Regan leans no good deed goes unpunished as besides the cops seeking Abigail for questioning, a stalker believes she is married to the man who Abigail is house sitting for and tries to kill her. Abigail brings comic relief to the tense plot with her belief she is cursed by the number thirteen (read to learn why she reached her Triskaidekaphobia conclusion). Though a bit light Carol Higgins Clark provides another exciting fun to read mystery.--------

Cursed was probably the most childish book I have read (and had to pay for) in a long time. I recommend it for the kinder tots, perhaps they would find it a good mystery. Too bad, she normally writes much better than this awful display.

Very enjoyable

Carol Higgins Clark is a very charming lady and it was a real delight to read her book. I couldn't put it down till the last page ! She signed my book at Barnes and Noble in Manhattan. I was so pleased to meet her and her mom! Soooo lovely !

Higgins-Clark

Enjoyed the book, doesn't quite come up to her Mother's novels however. Really shallow plots and very predictable. As noted above good for a quick read and escapism. I will continue to follow Regan Reilly

Carol Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors.

Carol Higgins Clark writes easy-to-read mysteries. Although I read many different genres, she's one of my favorite authors. I keep all her books.

Cursed

I like her books. It is an easy read. I take them on vacation. I have read all of her books and share them with my family and friends. I do hate that she always says that she married her husband no relation Reilly. It bugs me.

Another installment that is fun to read

This installment of the series followed the same format as before. A good quick read for me, that had suspense and fun. The characters, as usual, were fun to meet.

Different Carol Higgins Clark book.

This book was different from other Carol Higgins Clark books it centered just on Regan and her friend rather than the rest of the family. Was suspensful and very well written.

GREAT READ

Just finished reading this and as always with her books it was a very enjoyable read. with a bit of humor mixed in keeps you guessing until the end who the killer is Bonekittie

I love this series by Carol Higgins Clark

This book was great. I loved the plot and I tried to figure out "whodunit" before I got to the end, but this time I couldn't get it until the reveal.

She's a great storyteller! Keep up the good work Carol.

Entertaining and Funny

I love the characters and plots. Helps me to relax and forget about day to day demands on my time.

Great Addition to the Regan Reilly Series!

Carol Higgins Clark has done it aagin! Cursed is another good Regan Reily mystery. As usual, Clark has a well-written plot with a wide cast of charcters, and just when you think you figured out who the murderer is, she throws you a clue that changes evrything. Good summer read.

Unlucky 13?

Carol Higgins Clark delivers another Regan Reilly mystery with a twist. This curse is fast-paced, plenty of non-stop action and suspense to keep you reading. You can read it through in two days. Find out if Abigail gets her money back; see if Cody is the killer; and if Regan can close up the loose ends and uncover the curse. Great storyline, a coast-to-coast thriller.

Another great Regan Reilly Novel!

This is another great addition to the Regan Reilly series by Carol Higgins Clark. Very captivating book. Did not want to put it down while I was reading it - it only took me two days to read because I had to sleep and work.

Carol does it again.

Reagan is at her very best in this story.

Always Entertaining

Carol Higgins Clark has a very easy writing style. When you pick up the book you have a hard time putting it down. This one was no exception. Had to find out if there really was a curse.

A great read!!

Carol Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors!! I love reading about Regan Reilly & family with their crime solving adventures. A can't miss read!

Good if you like cozy mysteries.

This story is good if you like cozy "mysteries". I place quotes around mysteries because although I liked the story, the plot is too predictable and there's no mystery to it.

Regan's husband, Jack, is away at a conference and Regan receives a call from a friend, Abigail, asking Regan to track down an ex-boyfriend who owes her some money. Regan flies to Los Angeles to help this friend and works this case.

One thing that bugs me about Carol's stories is that she can choose some absolutely ridiculous names and if you've read her stories a while, you can figure out who plays what part of the story: helpless victim, criminal, etc.

Her earlier books on the Regan Reilly series were more suspenseful than the recent ones.

Still, if you like to read stories where's there not much happening at once, you'll like her stories, although you'll need to read her mother's book if you prefer suspenseful stories, like I do.

I enjoy all of Carol Higgins Clarks books - buy them whenever I see one.

I love the Reagen Reilly series - so cute & realzing to say the least. Enjoyable reading - especially love when she writes a book with her mother.
