Beachside Book Review #4
I spent some time at the beach last week and completed my fourth fun summer novel, Two Little Girls in Blue, by Mary Higgins Clark.
I’ve been reading Mary Higgins Clark books for years and I’m pretty certain I’ve read them all. This one was good, not her best, but good. It was a little emotional to read as a mom, since the book is about twin 3-year-old girls that get kidnapped for $8 million ransom.
The kidnapping occurs the evening after the girls third birthday party while their parents, Margaret and Steve Frawley are at a dinner party. The Frawley’s are able to meet the kidnappers ransom demands, but only one twin is returned to them, the other presumed dead. However, the twins appear to be communicating with each other through twin telepathy, something that the Frawley’s have been studying and observing since the girls were born.
The book follows Higgins Clark’s usual pattern of making everyone seem suspicious and keeping you guessing at who’s guilty right until the end. That made for a quick, easy read. Exactly what I’m looking for at the beach! I’m not sure about this twin telepathy thing, that’s something I’d have to personally experience to believe, but it was interesting to read about.
Let us know which Mary Higgins Clark book is your favorite.
