"Kindle edition is missing the last chapter!" according to Amazon Customer. Don't buy the kindle edition if you want to find out what happens in the end. The last chapter (epilogue I believe) is missing! I thought it ended rather abruptly until I read the other reviews and realized I was definitely missing something. Rip off.. Loved this story! Quiltin' Granny I haven't read one of Mary's books in awhile. I had forgotten how well written her books are! I loved the story and wanted to read all the time! I couldn't put it down!

Gripping and relentlessly compelling, Daddy's Little Girl, a portrayal of a family shattered by crime, reflects Mary Higgins Clark's uncanny insight into the twisted mind of a killer and is further evidence of why she is America's favorite author of suspense.. Nonetheless, the convicted killer is set free and returns to Oldham. As she delves deeper into her research, however, she uncovers horrifying facts that shed new light on her sister's murder. Determined to thwart his attempts to whitewash his reputation, Ellie also returns to Oldham, intent on proving his guilt. It was Ellie who had led her parents to a hideout in which Andrea's body was found -- a secret hideaway in which she met her friends. From Mary Higgins Clark, America's bestselling "Queen of Suspense," comes a dark and chilling story of murder, and its effects years later on the man convicted of the crime and the woman who helped convict him. Ellie Cavanaugh was only seven years old when her fifteen-year-old sister, Andrea, was murdered near their home in Oldham-on-the-Hudson, a rural village in New York's Westchester County. With each discovery, she comes closer to a confrontation with a desperate killer. And it was Ellie who was blamed by her parents for her sister
