5.0 out of 5 stars An intelligently written book., November 2, 1999

By A Customer

I think Mary Higgins Clark was at her best with this book; Where Are the Children. It was well written, and it kept me thinking constantly throughout the book. She made the story seem so realistic by letting the characters feelings and emotions relate to what other people in the same circumstances would have felt like. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very descriptive about what was happening to the characters. Mary Higgins Clark makes reading enjoyable and relaxing. I did find the book a little hard to follow in the beginning, but the rest of the book made up for it. So, I decided to give Where Are the Children 5 stars. It was about a lady named Nancy Eldredge and her family. She was married to Carl Harmon and had two children, Peter and Lisa. She was very happy, and then one day her children disappeared. Her children were found dead and Nancy was framed for the murders. During the trial her husband and closest friend went against her. She decides to start a new life, and so she changed her appearance. She moved to Cape Cod and married Ray Eldredge, so that she could try to get rid of her horrible memories from the past. Nancy and Ray had two children named Mike and Missy, who were helping her move on with her life. Just when her life is going the way she wanted it to, Mike and Missy disappeared, leaving nothing but a little red mitten as a clue for the police to follow. Nancy couldn't remember much from the day her kids disappeared, so the police thought that it was her again. Will Nancy be committed for the crime again, or will it be someone else this time? The book has a very surprising ending. Read the book to answer all of the puzzling questions, and to find out what happens to Nancy and her family. In my opinion it's a book well worth reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars This was a very shallow read....., October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Are the Children? (Mass Market Paperback)

Let's make it simple: 290 pages of large font as opposed to 339 pages of small font in Moonlight Becomes you. "Where are the Children" just didn't have the same punch that MHC has had in her previous books. The story line was extremely shallow. I had the villian picked out by the third chapter and had already decided that Nancy must have been drugged during her first marriage. I love MHC's books but this is one that I would not recommend. "Remember Me" is still my MOST FAVORITE of her books. Give that one a try before wasting money on "Where are the Children".
