I did mention in another post that Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favourite authors but the only thing I've partially read of Carol's is a short story she wrote with her mother, titled Santa Cruise. I didn't get very far as it wasn't to my taste; totally different to Mary Higgins Clark's own style - I would recommend her.<br />Anne xLiverpool Lou (Anne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031623590883933453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-84693930454530190162013-02-24T17:00:12.645-06:002013-02-24T17:00:12.645-06:00I remember reading Mary Higgins Clark back when I ...I remember reading Mary Higgins Clark back when I was a teenager and being quite obsessed with them... but not sure this one is for me, though I liked your review... gave me a good idea about it... like your quilt though... that is as special as I would expect of your stitching...xxTracey FKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052306649633275907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-41753409871188183632013-02-24T12:08:04.664-06:002013-02-24T12:08:04.664-06:00Nicely done.Darcy will be pleased.
