Mary Higgins Clark

Alright Mary Higgins Clark has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. That may be a little weird because her books usually have a young, successful, attractive woman as the main character. It's weird because I'm a guy but we're chillin'. Anyways I enjoy her books because of her ability to demand the attention and imagination of the reader. The plot of her books almost always include a very suspenseful, thrilling story line as the young woman tries to figure out who is after her while struggling to maintain her personal safety and sanity. Clark's ability to captivate the attention of the reader is evident in the fact that in each book I've read, if I'm not careful, I end up looking at the clock hours later, trying to figure out how time had passed so quickly. Her style, her diction, and clarity in creating images and story lines is outstanding. That is why I have read many of her books and why I still get excited to read one when she comes out with a new book. It's also something I share with my older sister Rachel who also really enjoy reading her books. It's kind of fun to get excited about something that is only between you and your sister so that just adds to the appeal.
