I remember my mom having this book when I was a kid and I was always creeped out by the single mitten left behind. After many, many years I‘m finally reading it.
I remember WAYYYYYYY back in the day when my mother was reading this book, this cover scared the shit out of me 😅 I was about 7 or 8, and there was just something about that red mitten along with the title that got me all 😱

I don‘t think I‘ve ever read any of her books; but she was dubbed Queen of Suspense! Many of her books were transformed into movies. She lived to 92 and died 2 years ago.
so-soI liked it. It was short and easy to read. The entire thing takes place in one day so not a ton of thrilling build up. But it was cool. I put so- so bc I wouldn‘t recommend it to anyone 🤷🏽♀️
These are mostly likely going to be super dated And i dont care one bit. I‘ll happily go back to 1975 and 1988.
For a tiny space of time when I was a teen, I had a reading partner...My Mother! I had discovered Mary Higgins Clark through the tagged book. I thought it was engrossing as a teen reader. After I finished reading it, I had to find someone to share in this enthusiasm. I asked my Mom, & unbelievably she said “Yes.” I had never seen my Mom read a book. My joy was top level - another reader in the family! It was short-lived, but MHC did that for me!💕
I learned of MHC‘s passing last night as many authors retweeted Simon & Shuster‘s announcement with similar sentiments about MHC being their first adult reads. It was the same for me! I distinctly remember my first forays into the adult section of my library looking for her books. Tagged is the one whose cover is seared into my memory. MHC helped usher young readers into the next phase of their reading lives and into a lifelong love of reading.
pickMy aunt lent me her copy of this one, and I finally got around to reading it. Where Are the Children? is my first Mary Higgins Clark novel, but it makes me nostalgic for thrillers I enjoyed as a kid (particularly in the overall style more than the actual plot). The twists and turns were fun to follow and I generally enjoyed myself quite a bit while reading it.
For those interested in reading it: tw for child sexual abuse

Nancy Harmon fled the heartbreak of her 1st marriage, the deaths of her 2 children, and the shocking charges against her. She changed her name, dyed her hair, and left California for the windswept peace of Cape Cod. She now has 2 more children, the pain has begun to heal -- until she looks in the backyard for her little boy and girl and finds only one red mitten. Read and find out where her children are!
Ms .Clark had written short stories and another book before this breakthrough title put her on the map.Published in 1975,her advance for hardcover a merely 3k.But a paperback bidding war put that advance over 100k!Found this beat up paperback in a thrift ,it had gone through 17 printings by November 1976.As a bookseller, got tired of selling it, guess I should finally read it!😂
Nancy Harmon long ago fled the heartbreak of her first marriage, the macabre deaths of her two little children, and the charges against her. She changed her name and left California for Cape Cod. Now remarried, she has two more children, and the terrible pain has begun to heal -- until the morning when she looks in the backyard for her little boy and girl and finds only one red mitten. #comelittlechildren #octoberputaspellonyou
Started this last night and cannot put it down! I had a very unproductive winter break, but I think this book and two snow days will get me back into the swing of reading. I generally don‘t like suspense novels, but this was suggested by one of my students in my book club, so I have no choice but to finish it 😂
The writer Harlan Coben posted a picture of himself and Mary Higgins Clark on Twitter. I responded to his post. And then this happened. Yes, I totally freaked out. #bookgeek #writersarerockstars
Last year I met Mary Higgins Clark and for me #itwasagoodday! I bought one of her books in a used bookstore when I was about 10 and that book helped me fall in love with reading. As a young child with social anxiety to discover the escapism that comes with reading has made me a more social person and helped my introverted self face the world! So to meet one of my favorite authors at 89 years old was an incredible experience! #90sinJuly
I have so many books I want to read and I have so many authors that I want to experience their art, so I don't have many #autobuyauthors but I can say that my standard auto buy is my standard palate cleanser MHC! #marchintoreading
My mom sold my MHC books when I went away to college, but I found some replacements at the library today! Free will donation and they are mine again... ☺️
*Bonus: The covers are the same as the copies I owned.
Thought I would go back and read again the book that sparked my love of suspense and thrillers.....
