اسلوب الروائية جميل وممتع
لكن في هذه الرواية كان ممل لا يشد إلى انهائها
للأسف ليست رائعة كروايتها لقد سمعت هذه الأغنية من قبل

If I could, I'd give this 3.5 stars - definitely interesting and well-written, but not uplifting since there are some super evil characters who harm children! I wasn't sure what to expect from Higgins Clark, but I was relieved she doesn't pepper the pages with profanity. Also good was the fact that the bad guys all lose out in the end. Like I said, interesting and entertaining with a good sense of mystery - but filled with a lot of fear and tragedy.

Your average mystery/crime novel. I didn't find this to be thrilling, but it kept my attention well enough. I thought the idea of the telepathy to be the most interesting piece of the book. I found the author to be a bit disconnected from the characters - there was a lack of strength in the emotions that'd be associated with a crime such as abduction. I've seen lots of Higgins-Clark's books around and so I thought I'd give one a go but although I found this to be a decent enough read, I don't ha...more

I thought that this was a very good book. It was full of excitement and energy; I never wanted to put it down. This book is about two little girls getting kidnapped by a man who calls himself the Pied Piper. He communicates with the family through the news and phone calls to their neighbors’ homes. He asks for a ransom of eight million dollars, one hundred thousand in cash when they pick up the girls and the rest into an overseas account. The girls’ father, Steve Frawley, works at a law firm and...more
Kidnapping of a child can be any parent's worst nightmare.

The couple and the rescued kid Kelly both go through a tough phase as every one around mourn the death of the other twin. Only Kelly knows differently but her attempts to talk to the parents are termed as shock reaction and no one exce...more
So, yesterday I was at the Goodwill one town over from mine. I was going through paperback books to see if I could find any of my favorite authors titles. Well, I came across this book and the title struck me. I then had an "AHA!" moment and realized I read this back in 2007 or 2008 at Summer camp. Before I knew what kind of books I was into, I would just go to the library and check out a few books every Summer before I went to camp, so I'd have something to read during rest period and down time...more
This is the only the second Mary Higgins Clark books I've read (the first being Nightime Is My Time) and there seems to be a formula to these two ....the mysterious unnamed or code named villain who commits a crime and then it's up to the reader to determine who the mystery person is. Finding out who it is in both cases was rather anti-climatic and a bit disappointing specially in the case of this book. I know in mysteries that it's seldom who you at first think it is but I actually felt let dow...more
Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors, as she often incorporates some element of mystery and suspense into each novel, no matter the basis or dynamic of the family/people at hand. Two Little Girls in Blue is a novel that introduces us to the seemingly perfect life of Margaret and Steve Frawley and their two twin daughters, Kathy and Kelly. Kathy and Kelly turn three when the story begins, showing us their birthday party in the afternoon. That evening when the parents go into the city...more
This story deals with a parents worst nightmare...the kidnapping of your child or children as in this case...but this one has a happy ending...at least for the children and family involved.
Margaret and Steve Frawley have just celebrated the third birthday of their twin girls Kathy and Kelly, in the new home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The evening of the party, Steve and Margaret attend a black-tie dinner in New York. When they return home, the find the police at their house and they are told tha...more

Two Little Girls in Blue is my fifth Mary Higgins Clark read. Did I enjoy it?
Yes, I did.
It’s a wonderful book, and I was fascinated by the idea of twin telepathy, which made me pick up the book to read. Like every other Clark book I’ve read, this one is fast-paced, suspenseful, and it kept me reading into the night. Two three-year-old twins are kidnapped, and one, Kelly, is returned after some days with a suicide note saying the kidnapper unintentionally killed the other twin, Kathy. I couldn’t...more

“The twins bedroom was at the end of the hall. There was no sound coming from it now” (Higgins 2). Of many months of struggles, desperation, fear and agony parents Margaret and Steve Frawley would have to endure, they waited hopeful for news as to where their three year old daughters could be. In the novel Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark the Frawleys celebrate their twin daughters 3rd birthday early in the day. As Margaret and Steve Frawley return home from a business dinner at ni...more
If you like mystery novels and think twin telepathy is interesting, you'll enjoy this book! Essentially the book is about a Steve and Margaret Frawley, who's three year old twin girls are taken from their beds.
As many of the reviews state, there are a few things that some people are bothered by. For instance, the twins have a bit more speech capability than a three year old would, and there are quite a lot of named characters to keep up with. However, these things don't bother me as the story i...more

Two Little Girls In Blue by Mary Higgins Clark is gripping right from the start. It’s about Kathy and Kelly, a set of three-year-old twin girls being kidnapped for $8 million. The scheme is master minded by someone who is referred to as “The Pied Piper.” He had a brilliant plan in place and collected the ransom with no difficulty, making the FBI look like fools; however, one of his partners in crime decided to double cross him and changed the plan. An interesting part of Two Little Girls In Blue...more
This is not one of MHC's better books, in my opinion. It just dragged on...and on...and on...It was REALLY slow. Blech. The idea of the twins' telepathy being AS in depth and detailed as described was REALLLLLLY far fetched. Like...to the point of idiocy and laziness. This wasn't a fun mystery read even, because MHC left out SO many of the crucial details that you don't even get the opportunity to try to solve the mystery as you read, which is half of point of reading a mystery novel (at least,...more

Twins Kathy and Kelly are kidnapped from their home on the evening of their third birthday while their parents are out at dinner. The babysitter was hit and knocked out and doesn't remember much. There is a ransom note from "The Pied Piper" demanding 8 million dollars for the return of the twins. Upon paying the ransom Kelly is found alive with the body of a man and his suicide note - stating he accidentally killed Kathy and dropped her body in the ocean. Once safely home Kelly starts "talking t...more

I have come to expect from Ms. Higgins Clark a plot that is clean and this one is no exception. Though it deals with human depravity, in this case murder and kidnapping, the reader is not carried into a stream of profanity and invenctive or sexual depravity. She tells the story without dragging you through the parts that can offend your sensibilities. You can know the worse without latching onto the incedental baggage. Unfortunately, Ms. Higgins Clark's delecacy also gives her style a bit of clu...more
I would actually probably give this like 2.5 stars because I liked it but it was just OK really. I think I need to stop reading her books because they've become so blah for me. Her (earlier) books used to totally engross me and I enjoyed them. While I thought this one was better than two of hers I read last winter, it still was a bit cheesy and somewhat predictable. It's a good, fast, simple read if you're looking for something fast and easy to read, nothing with much depth. The subject matter i...more
I always enjoy reading any book by Mary Higgins Clark. They usually follow a formula, but this one is much more intricate and suspenseful than her usual, and is the best that I have read.
Twin girls, Kelly and Kathy, are kidnapped for ransom at the beginning of the story. The money is paid, but the handover goes wrong and only Kelly is returned. Initially, it seems that Kathy has perished, but the conviction of her surviving twin convinces the parents that she is still alive. Evidence mounts, bu...more

This is a story of every parent’s nightmare: the abduction of a child. Ms Higgins Clark weaves beautifully the mystery and the drama behind such a terrible event.
The tale starts when twin sisters Kelly and Kathy are abducted from their home and held for ransom. The parents are not wealthy, why have they been targeted? With the support of the husband’s employer the ransom is eventually raised. It is agreed that the twins will be released in exchange for the money…..but something goes terribly wro...more

Mary Higgins Clark can be a good author, but sometimes her books are a hit and miss with me. This one was more of a miss. Although the story gave me enough to want to keep reading it, there could have been tons more to it, but it is rather simple. The plot about two twins being kidnapped had the potential to be a real nailbiter, however, I feel this one lacked. I epecially think that the twin telepathy was a bit too much in this book, it was overdone in my opinion. Needless to say the author did...more
Another good, fast read from the Queen of Suspense. This one kept my heart racing just a bit. I needed to know that the twins that were abducted in the story were returned safely and thankfully MHC doesn't disappoint in this category. I did like the thread of the story that dealt with twin telepathy and "twinness" in general. The idea that if something happens to one twin the other can feel it. Although these two seemed to feel it very acutely. And that they can talk to each other through their...more

Trata del secuestro de unas gemelas de tres años, desde el inicio cuando son sustraídas, todo el drama de la recolección del dinero para el pago del rescate, hasta el final en la entrega de las mismas.

A história teria sido algo bastante banal não fosse pelo bom desenvolvimento das personagens e a presença de pequenas narrativas paralelas, concebidas sem quebrar o enredo principal. Mary Higgins Clark, tal como todos os bons escritores de romances policiais, sabe dar o devido valor às personagens, em vez de se centrar exclusivamente no mistério em si, permitindo ao leitor desenvolver feedback emocional com elas.

Two Little Girls in Blue was an absolute amazing book! I loved the book and the way that it kept going with new twists and turn all along the way. Two Little Girls in Blue is 322 pages long and was published in 2006 by Mary Higgins Clark. This book was written for everybody from young adults to adults, and every other mystery lover! The story takes place in an old house in a very friendly community. They also live pretty close to a bay area in Maine. The book had quite a few main characters, but...more
The last MHC book I read, which was only two or three books ago, I remember plodding through it and thinking that it wasn't as good as I remember her books being. I half-thought, "I don't know if I going to her books anymore."
This book, however, was excellent.
And I wonder if she falls down when she tries to write books with a romantic angle?
