Blah I need to take a break from MHC. Two Little Girls in Blue wasn't a mystery at all and it was super boring! Two little twin girls in blue get kidnapped and are being held for ransom. Now it would of been an interesting plot, if the reader wasn't aware of everything about the kidnapper and their future actions. I found that there was no mystery since we knew who had the twins and it's Mary Higgins Clark, you know that there will be a happily ever after. I also hated how many random characters...
Two Little Girls in Blue, Mary Higgins ClarkMary Theresa Eleanor Higgins Clark (Born: December 24, 1927, Bronx, New York, United States, Died: January 31, 2020, Naples, Florida, United States) was an American author of suspense novels. Each of her 51 books was a bestseller in the United States and various European countries.Mary Theresa Eleanor Higgins Clark brilliantly weaves the mystery of twin telepathy into a mother's search for a kidnapped child, presumed dead.The parents manage to raise th...

The money is paid but the exchange doesn't go to plan as a car with the girls inside is found af...
Your average mystery/crime novel. I didn't find this to be thrilling, but it kept my attention well enough. I thought the idea of the telepathy to be the most interesting piece of the book. I found the author to be a bit disconnected from the characters - there was a lack of strength in the emotions that'd be associated with a crime such as abduction. I've seen lots of Higgins-Clark's books around and so I thought I'd give one a go but although I found this to be a decent enough read, I don't ha...
2.5 starsThis is the first book that I am reading by author Mary Higgins Clark. Talking about her writing style, it kind of reminded me of Sidney Sheldon books.There are short stanzas each of few pages in different peoples perspective due to which this makes for a fast read. The constantly changing point of view in the story can be a problem for few people but I was not bothered by it.The plot-line of the book is interesting. Identical 3 year old twins are kidnapped and there is a ransom demand....
This author never fails to deliver. Great mystery about twins who are kidnapped. Made me want to hold my kids tighter.
This is not one of MHC's better books, in my opinion. It just dragged on...and on...and on...It was REALLY slow. Blech. The idea of the twins' telepathy being AS in depth and detailed as described was REALLLLLLY far fetched. Like...to the point of idiocy and laziness. This wasn't a fun mystery read even, because MHC left out SO many of the crucial details that you don't even get the opportunity to try to solve the mystery as you read, which is half of point of reading a mystery novel (at least,
Two Little Girls in Blue is by Mary Higgins Clark. I listened to the audio version of this book.The adorable little twin girls, Kathy and Kelly Frawley have just turned three years old. These two girls are closer than close as twins often are. They are inseparable and have their own way of communicating known as twin talk. Their parents are now out for the evening and the girls are at home with a baby sitter. This night, though, ended in a way that is a parent’s nightmare. When they returned hom...
When Margaret and Steve Frawley return home from a fancy dinner, they discover that their twin daughters, Kelly and Kathy, have been kidnapped. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom far too high for them to afford. This novel follows the kidnappers, the investigators, and the Frawley family in the events that follow.*Please note, I am reviewing the abridged audiobook version. I wasn’t aware it was abridged until partway through!*This is my first ever Mary Higgins Clark book, and I have to say t...

Three year old twins Kathy and Kelly were missing after their babysitter was found unconscious the evening of their birthday party Kelly and Kathy had telepathy between them. When the ransom was met Kelly was returned home, but not Kathy. Kelly could feel all of the pain that Kathy endured. She knew exactly were Kathy was.
Great writing..suspenseful,riveting and very defined characters....(paperback!)
This was a pretty good book. There were lots of characters that have background stories going on that added some to the plot in terms of interest. This is only like my third or fourth Mary Higgins Clark book but will add more to read to my library soon. Had this one for a while but cleaning off some of my bookshelf this year so grabbed it for a quick read.My quick and simple overall: Not bad at all and the twin talk and telepathy was interesting to read about.
This was the worst book I've read in a long, long time, and trust me, I've read some very bad books. Two little girls in blue, lad, two little girls in blue...Not only were the characters flat, without any dimension or real character (imagine that, a character having character, who'd have thought!) but the story lacked a certain little something called depth. Everything I read was surface stuff, with no emotion or feeling. The whole thing sounded like you are being told what happened by a non-pa...
Very rarely do I get the chance to read a novel like this one and am I glad that I finally found it. The author, as she has done some many times before, shows us that she is the best in the business. Two three-year-old girls are kidnapped. The kidnappers’ ask for a huge ramson, which, at the end they get it. Nothing should really go wrong at this point, but some has to give for the story to move along: one of the kidnapers, a bitter old lady who suffers from a severe mental disorder and can’t ha...
I should have run screaming from this book for the title alone. What was I thinking? Cliched. Cloying. Mediocre. A real clinker. My opinion only, of course. Not sure that I have read anything else by this author, but I will be in no hurry to try another.
Twins Kathy and Kelly have just celebrated their third birthday. Helping out with the celebrations is nineteen year old, Trish Logan. After the party, Trish stays back to babysit the girls as their parents have to attend a black-tie dinner party in New York. Knowing that the girls had such a big day, Trish knew once they were tucked up in bed she wouldn't hear a peep out of them.Margaret and Steve Frawley return home from their dinner party only to find the police in their home. They are both in...
This is my favorite Mary Higgins Clark's book. I love the characters and the plot holds you from start to finish.
The story was good... but some of the characters needed to be a bit more believable...especially the kidnappers. They were a rag-tag group of morons who decide to kidnap twins in an effort to gain ransom and they were bumbling idiots. The "twin talk" the girls shared was fairly interesting. I know there has been some long-term studies done on this and the results are pretty amazing. It was in whole, a good mystery...but not great nor was it the best or the worse that I have read by this author.
Book on CD narrated by Jan Maxwell.Three-year-old identical twins Kathy and Kelly are kidnapped while their parents are out for the evening, the babysitter left gagged and unconscious. An excessive ransom is demanded of this young, middle-class couple, and Steve’s employer agrees to put up the $8 million ransom as a gesture of goodwill (and to temper the bad press of some dicey business dealings). But things do not go as planned.This is a fast-paced thriller with a building sense of suspense. Th...
