Two Little Girl In Blue By Mary Higgins Clark

Two little girls in blue

The book “Two little girls in blue” by Mary Higgins Clark is a thriller about crime against children, kidnapping, murder and telepathy. It is an easy reading book and its lively narration fascinates the reader and makes it hard to stop reading.

While you read this book and read about how helpless and alone the parents feel and how they have no idea what to do because they are afraid to lose their children forever you start thinking about what you would do.
