Two Little Girls in Blue By Mary Higgins Clark Review
March 7th, 2007 by admin
I’m a fan of Mary Higgins Clark and have been reading her books for years. Although I haven’t read all of them (she’s written over 20), I’ve ready many of them. The ending was a surprise to me in the first several books of hers I read. In the last few books, including this one, I had the “who did it” person figured out long before the end of the book. It might be that I’ve figured out her style of reading enough to be able to guess the “surprise ending.”
Even though I figured out the ending, there was still enough suspense and intrigue in the book to make it hard for me to put it down even when it was late at night and I knew I had to get to sleep!
This book explores telepathy between twins, specifically young twin girls who are kidnapped. As expected the parents are devastated and there are some predictable occurrences such as the girls father being a suspect for a short period of time. If you’re a parent, your heart will break a little when reading about the hell the girls mother goes through.
The telepathy described in the book seems eerie and unbelievable. But I have a Dad who is a twin along with a niece and a nephew is a twin. Their “unspoken” communication and ability to “tune in to the other’s twin’s feelings” is something I have witnessed personally, although not to the extent described in the book.
If you like suspense novels without extreme gore and profanity, this is a good book for you to read.
My rating (0-10 smilies): 6 ☻☻☻☻☻☻☺☺☺☺
