Daddy's Little Girl

By Mary Higgins Clark

When she was just a little girl, a young woman was the chief witness against the boy who murdered her sister. Now, a boy no longer, the murderer is out on parole and his family is pressing for a new trial to clear his name. The young woman returns to her home town to launch a new investigation against the murderer to prove her previous testimony and to protect an innocent man from being accused of her sister's murder.

The title, Daddy's Little Girl, refers to the dead girl. She was, in the eyes of her young sister, Daddy's favorite. After her death and the parents later divorce, the father dropped of out the little girl's life, leaving her angry and feeling abandoned. Part of the story is that of the woman dealing with her feelings of guilt about her sister's death and of abandonment. It was a good story. It was a good read.
