Two Little Girls in Blue

A good story--will hold your interest throughout

This is a good mystery, written by Mary Higgins Clark, who is certainly one of the greats in this genre. This story is about a set of twins who are kidnapped, but only one gets rescued, leading to interesting plot developments that arise partly out of the mother's trust that the safe twin can feel what the other is going through and keep hope alive for finding her. Mostly it is unremarkable in other ways, a bit predictable on most levels.

However, what made it greatly interesting to me is that it was sort of a story about how often people see things or have encounters that leave them briefly wondering, then quickly dismiss them as unimportant. This entire book seemed to be circling around the numerous ways alert people misread signals and situations, passed off important clues as trivial events. It is a reminder, especially in these times, that we all probably should be more aware of what seems odd or suspicious, and not ignore unusual things we observe. That appeared to be a central part of this story--things happening that people chose to interpret as innocent events, thus prolonging the crisis.

MHC is an excellent mystery writer. I thought the narrator got off to a bad start, but quickly improved, making the book an overall good listening experience.

A Good Plot

Would you listen to Two Little Girls in Blue again? Why?

Any parent's dread is to have their child kidnapped, but to have two missing is a horror. The kidnappers are callous and have no scruples. They even turn on each other. Just read or hear it to find out just how.

yes

Which character – as performed by Jan Maxwell – was your favorite?

Margaret

I was hoping the book was longer.

loved it but it was too short. I drive over 2 hours a day and look forward to a long book while I'm driving.

Twice read!

This is the second time I read this book in 10 years and I still thought it was spectacular! I love the twist and turns. I could not guess who it was that was the pipe piper and I'm usually good in guessing who the guilty party is. This is a full book and I know I'll read it again.

Wow!

I loved this book! great narration, very well written, nice little plot twist in the middle and end! This book made me cry for those little girls and at one point even sympathize with the bad guy, not for too long though lol...

Fabulous, Couldn't stop listening

Loved it. I usually listening only when driving but this book I continued to listen in my hotel room. Amazing

A good traveling story.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a good story for a short trip, which I define as around 3 hours each way. You can miss a little without having to backup. It is easy to listen to, but does not require constant concentration.
