Mary Higgins Clark


I just finished The Shadow of Your Smile and I loved it. I think she is a wonderful writer. I met her last spring and it was a thrill. She is a lovelier and more charming in person than even what might be perceived from those beautiful photographs on the back cover of her books. She had a 45 minute presentation and it was amazing. She loves to take a normal situation and put in a twist. "She was backing out of her driveway to pick up her children from school and as she pulled to the stop sign she heard a voice from the back seat say turn left. " (creepy) Even as she said it I started smiling. She is very good at suspense. I could on and on about the presentation and meeting her, but I will not. Just read one of her books. If you can't get your hands on the latest one, read The Cradle will Fall or Stillwatch. Read late at night too that makes it tons of fun:)
The other beautiful person next to me is her daughter Carol
