Two Little Girls in Blue is a Page-turner of Epic Proportions

I will readily admit that author, Mary Higgins Clark is my second favorite novelist (closely following the legendary Sidney Sheldon) of all-time, but her most recent book, “Two Little Girls In Blue” was so well written that I was literally left flabbergasted after finishing her latest literary creation. 

Yes, I have come to expect nothing but unparalleled excellence from Clark, but this book, “Two little Girls In Blue,” was a genuine page-turner that ranks at, or near the top, of Clark’s vast collection of impeccable novels. 

This book focuses on the mystery of twin telepathy as a couple (Margaret and Steve Frawley) searches for their kidnapped child who has been presumed dead. 

Now, I have to say that although I have read nearly every book by Higgins Clark, I am never amazed that each book she has written has its own distinctness and personality to it. In Layman’s terms, no two books by Clark have been alike whatsoever – the sign of a masterful author. 

The books opens as the Frawley’s celebrate the third birthday of their twin girls, Kelly and Kathy, with an afternoon party in their new home, a modest fixer-upper in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The evening of the twins' birthday party, the Frawley’s attend a black-tie dinner in New York. When they return home, the police are in the house, and they are told that the babysitter had been found unconscious, the children are gone, and a note demanding an eight-million-dollar ransom had been left in their room. 

With the plot set, Higgins Clark sets out on her usual course of introducing each character - and introduce she does. She introduces several characters in the book and, once again, ties each character intricately into the plot – leaving ample room for the reader to form his or her own various opinions.
