Where Are The Children?
reviewed on + 168 more book reviews


I'd really hoped to just love this book and then become obsessed with reading everything else by Mary Higgins Clark (this was her first book). But, unfortunately, it was "just okay". The mystery was perfectly good and the characters were all likeable (or unlikeable!) and well-drawn. But there were just too many of them. Every new clue brought in another minor character. And another, and another. I kept wishing it would all just get back to the heroine's experience. It read sort of like an old movie of the week on tv. I was pleased the book was a short one. I would recommend it for fans of light weight mysteries.

**1/2 Two and a half stars.
