Two Little Girls in blue

By Mary Higgins Clark

It starts out with the kidnapping of twin girls, Kathy and Kelly on the evening of their third birthday while their parents are out to dinner. The babysitter is knocked out and doesn't remember too much of what had happened. The kidnappers leave a ransom note demanding 8 million dollars for the safe return of their children that is signed by the "Pied Piper". When they do pay the ransom and go to get their children back they discover that only Kelly is alive and there is a note from the kidnapper,whom is found dead in the front seat, saying that he accidentally killed Kathy and dropped her body in the ocean. Although the parents are very pleased to have Kelly back they still can't help but wonder what happened to kathy. When Kelly starts "talking" to her sister and saying that she wants to come home they start thinking that Kathy may be alive.

This book was entertaining from the very beginning. It definately kept the reader inside the story while it was unraveling. Some parts of the book I would actually scream out loud rooting for the good guys to win. This was one of the best books that I've read by Mary Higgins Clark in a while. Although I love all the books I've read by her this one was a winner in my eye, you were given the veiw point of all the characters including the kidnappers. Given the view point of all the characters made you want to jump inside the story to make sure there was a happy ending. Over all I give this book a big thumbs up. Excellent and very suspenseful from beginning to end, I would recommend this books to anyone who wants to read a thrilling novel.
