Book Description
The latest blockbuster from the #1 bestselling author of Remember Me and I'll Be Seeing You Beauty has its price... Kerry McGrath had only begun to work in the county prosecutor's office at the time of the infamous "Sweetheart Murder Case" -- the bizarre slaying years ago of strikingly beautiful Suzanne Reardon. Now, ten years later, Kerry has gained a reputation as a smart and relentless prosecutor -- so much so that her name has been given to the governor as a candidate for a new judgeship -- and her new life and career are in full swing. But Kerry's plans are turned upside down when her daughter Robin is injured in a car accident, requiring treatment from a well-known plastic surgeon. It is in his office that Kerry first encounters a beautiful face she remembers from her past but can't quite place -- until she realizes that this angelic face is a troubling link to the "Sweetheart" case. When she starts asking questions, she soon discovers that everyone involved wants the case to remain closed...and will stop at nothing to keep it that way. A terrifying look into a mind obsessed with beauty, Let Me Call You Sweetheart is America's Queen of Suspense at the very top of her form.

 Not upto MHC standards September 28, 2007
It was an interesting read, but didn't seem like a plausible story. It took a while to get used to so many different characters. But I was most disappointmented by the end. I felt there were still several lose ends to be tied. For instance, who actually operated on Suzanne? Why did Grace feel that she had seen Jason Arnott?
Another highly successful lady fooled again July 2, 2007
Don't get me wrong. I love MHC books. Maybe it was bad timing. But after reading "There's no Place like Home" and then this one, I couldn't help to see a familiar plot line. Sure, we have all the surroundings different, but the lead in each story is a successful lady who is on top of her game with one child and is fooled by someone they placed their trust in.
Kerry McGrath, for being on the verge of being nominated for a judge, seems to be just a half a step behind the obvious when she starts digging into a ten-year-old murder case. First she thinks the man in prision isn't convincing enough to be innocent, then she thinks that he threats against her daughter Robin are enough to worry more about getting the govenor to nominate her for a judge position, and finally when all the evidence starts slapping her around to the obvious, she decides it is time to solve the case.
A bit too long and too far-fetched for the MHC classics I have come to love to read. Still, it has the flair of this talented writer and if you are looking for a good story versus a good "whodunit", then this is the book for you.

Kerry McGrath is being considered for a judgeship; however, if she keeps trying to find evidence to overturn the conviction of a man for killing his wife her chance at the position could be jeopardized. Kerry McGrath was an assistant prosecutor in Bergen County. Kerry's boss, Frank Green, is running for governor and she has been nominated for a judgeship. When her ex-husband, Bob, and daughter, Robin, are involved in a car accident Robin receives minor cuts on her face. Kerry takes her to see Dr. Charles Smith, a plastic surgeon, to make sure that the scars will disappear completely. During her waits at the doctor's office Kerry notices several of the patients leaving the office have been given the same face. This sparks her curiosity because the face is so familiar to her. The faces are the same as that of Suzanne Reardon, the victim in the Sweetheart Murder Case. Kerry visits with Skip Reardon, Suzanne Reardon's husband who was convicted of the murder, in prison and hears his story. She also talks to other people that knew Suzanne and Kerry begins to think that Skip was wrongfully convicted due to the testimony of his father-in-law, Dr. Smith. During her investigation, she finds that Skip is innocent and discovers who the real killer was. Kerry is appointed the judgeship and is presented with her official robes. I recommend that everyone read this book.
The characters in this book are realistic. Robin is a ten-year-old girl whose parents are divorced; she has big blue eyes and an oval face. Kerry is an assistant prosecutor nominated for a judgeship. Bob is a criminal defense lawyer who is remarried to a woman who wants nothing to do with Robin.
The events in this book are realistic. Robin is slightly injured in a car accident. Skip Reardon was wrongfully convicted of the murder of his wife. Kerry goes from being an assistant prosecutor for Bergen County to being a judge.
The places in this story are described in lots of detail. Robin and Kerry's house is large and comfortable, with a fake fireplace in the family room. The Bergen County prosecutor's office is busy building filled with friendly, pleasant people. Dr. Smith's office seemed just like any other doctors office with a tiny little room at the back for a personal workplace.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery. You will continually guess who the real murderer is but be ready for some shocking twists and turns. Everyone should read this book.
