I can honestly say I have never read a Mary Higgins Clark book that wasn't well worth reading! The Lost Years is a wonderful read. It is somewhat different than her other books but it is also more astonishing. Anytime you write about religion, there is a sense of reverence in the words that touch the heart of the faithful. This time Ms. Clark mixed her loving lottery winners Alvirah and Willy Meehan with a holy parchment supposedly written by Jesus to Joseph of Arimethia shortly before the Crucifixion I really couldn't put it down. . . A must read for mystery lovers!
