Review of "Two Little Girls in Blue" by Mary Higgins Clark

Mary Higgins Clark just pours out exciting tales that grab our interest. This one is about a set of twins. They are kidnapped right out of their own bedroom. Their names are Kelly and Kathy, and they are just three years old. The terrified parents are extorted for a large amount of money for the return of the twins. The father gets his firm to put up the ransom, and one of the twins is returned. The other twin is kidnapped again, and this time by a mentally ill woman who thinks she wants to be a mother. We have all heard of “Twin Talk”, I think, but this twin set has telepathy between them and it takes the cops and the family a while to recognize that what the one twin is telling them is true.

It is a very scaring theme, and we are drawn into this story by the skilled writing of the author. Clark does present us with all of the horrors that a kidnapping might cause, and shows the heroic efforts to rescue both of the children, even if it does look very bad for the girls through most of the book.
