Zapped by Carol Higgins Clark


For those of you who have never read Carol Higgins Clark, don't go into her books thinking that you are getting something like what her mother, Mary Higgins Clark, writes. Carol does write mysteries, but they are not nearly as well written or thought out as Mary's. Not that I don't like Carol's, there are just a lot different.

In Zapped, Reagan Reilly (P.I.) and her new husband, Jack (head of the Major Crimes Squad at NYU) are returning home to New York City as a major blackout occurs. Somehow, they are each able to run separate investigations of separate crimes, but all the bad guys and all the good guys somehow run into each other in the darkness of NYC and all is solved almost concurrently. There are way too many coincidences in this book, but yet it is a light mystery read, if that is what you are looking for.
