From Publishers Weekly On her own, each Clark has written reliably entertaining mystery/thrillers that occasionally exhibit storytelling magic. (Nov.

Interesting Twist Falls Flat Antoinette Klein As one who looks forward to any new Mary Higgins Clark book, I have to sadly admit that this was a disappointment. Being a lover of mysteries set at Christmas, I was totally captivated by her previous Christmas novella, "All Through The Night." This current one, while starting out on an interesting note (loved having Alvirah connect with Regan Reilly), falls flat quickly due to the lack of suspense. Is there any r. Deck the Halls I have read several novels by Mary Higgins Clark, but none by her daughter Carol. They team up to write "Deck the Halls", which has Carol's series character, Regan Reilly, and Mary's character, Alvirah Meehan, who has appeared in several of her novels. The novel centers around the kidnapping of Regan's father, Luke Reilly, and his driver just days before Christmas. Regan and Alvirah team up to help solve the crime. Another great read I have been a fan of Mary HC for some time and believe I can always count on having a good read. She researches her stories well and is able to draw you into the plots and keep you interested until the very end
Mary Higgins Clark, America's Queen of Suspense, and her daughter bestselling author Carol Higgins Clark, have joined forces for the first time to create a brilliant and exciting story of high-stakes intrique and detection with a kidnapping layed out against a holiday setting. Three days before Christmas, Regan Reilly, the dynamic young sleuth featured in the novels of Carol Higgins Clark, meets Alvirah Meehan, the famous lottery winner and amateur detective who has appeared in several books by Mary Higgins Clark, at a New Jersey dentist's office. Deck the Halls is a heartwarming story filled with twists and turns, intrique and danger, as well as a hearty dose of holiday cheer.. Once it becomes apparent that Luke Reilly is not going to keep his appointment. Jack Reilly, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad, is called back from his Christmas holiday to lead the investigation, after the laughably inept pair of kidnappers make known their demands. Alvirah offers the deeply troubled Regan a lift home. When a call comes through on Regan's cell phone telling her that her father and his driver, Rosita Gonzalez, are being held for $1,000,000 ransom, Alvirah insists that Regan allow her to lend a hand in trying to gain their release
