this was my first MHC novel and now i understand her title as the queen of suspense. This book isn't much of a mystery as the narration comes from all sides and we know who the kidnappers are immediately, but that doesn't take away from the nail biting feeling it gives you along the way. I really enjoyed how real it felt and as a parent the whole idea was just terrifying on its own, the little details were part of what really did it for me with this book though. i loved every little mistake the kidnappers made and their confidence that no one would find out, and evey time a character hit upon some clue and paused but then decided it was nothing made me want to jump up and start yelling (and that made the suspense so much better) I will look forward to reading more of her other novels soon!

Three year old twins Kathy and Kelly were missing after their babysitter was found unconscious the evening of their birthday party Kelly and Kathy had telepathy between them. When the ransom was met Kelly was returned home, but not Kathy. Kelly could feel all of the pain that Kathy endured. She knew exactly were Kathy was.

Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark is a book about the kidnapping of twin girls. Kathy and Kelly just turned three when their parents went out for dinner on the twins' birthday. Steve and Margaret Frawley, the twins parents, left the girls with a babysitter that night. When they returned, the twins were gone and the babysitter was unconscious. The Frawley's never had any enemies so who took their twins?I think that certain parts of the story had plot holes. A plot hole like the kidnapper's van was driven off a dock into the ocean with Kathy, one of twins, in it. Then 20 minutes later the FBI come to the dock and the van didn't even sink yet, I mean, to me it seemed like the van would've already sunk. The exposition of this book came fast, and by fast, it came around page three. The kidnapping happened very quick in the story and then it dragged on for the first 25% of the book. I did like the revolution of the story, I don't want to give away the ending but it was suspenseful and satisfying. This story reminds me of multiply stories in the news of kidnappings of children or general missing people. When you see missing people posters in the store and they aren't found I sometimes wonder if they are lost or were kidnapped. There are stories of people missing in the news. I hear these stories sometimes and wonder what really happened. When I read this book it did make me think of all the people who have gone through missing members of their family to kidnappings.Overall I give this book a 4 out of 5 because it wasn't one of my favorites. I think this because the first one-third of the book was, lets just say 'boring.' To me, parts of the book dragged on. Some parts were just touched and it would be hard to understand. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery books, suspense books, crime books, and people who like other Mary Higgins Clark books.
