Yesterday evening, I finished reading Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark.

As some of you know, I didn’t read at all, unless forced to, until I started to read books written by Mary Higgins Clark.  I read a few of her books in high school for a class I was in.  And, since then, I’ve read a few of her books here and there because I really enjoy the suspense, mystery, and thrill.  So, I have a soft-spot for her work.

I decided to read Two Little Girls in Blue because of the Play Book Tag group on Shelfari, which I mentioned in my review of The Thirteenth Tale.  The category for the month of December (I’m a little behind ) was mystery and I always think of Mary Higgins Clark or Agatha Christie when I think of mystery, even though Mary Higgins Clark’s genre is more suspense/thriller than mystery.  Anyway, since I hadn’t read anything by her for a while, I decided to go with one of her books I hadn’t read yet.

Two Little Girls in Blue is about two three-year-old identical twin girls who are kidnapped.  One of them is rescued quickly while the other isn’t.  The book explores the concept of twin telepathy during the search for the second girl.

I enjoyed reading about the concept of twin telepathy and I enjoyed the premise of the story. However, Two Little Girls in Blue is definitely not my favorite book written by Mary Higgins Clark.  In fact, it’s probably my least favorite of all her books.  I did feel a little suspense while reading the story.  And, I did want to get to the end, so I could see the resolution.  But, the story didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat or second-guessing who I thought the “bad guy” was like her other books have done.  It just felt flat and a little too contrived.
