    I'm not a fan of this writing at all. I think she employs very cheap writer "tricks" to try to maintain the suspense when really it's just dumb and dull. Everything about this was pretty bad. It was all very repetitive and the characters boring. I don't think I'll be reading more by this author. I also didn't appreciate that the teaser write-up on the book flap covered 146 pages of the freaking book. That's 146 pages of no new story, just boring redundancy. 146 pages!! I can't get over that. Thanks for wasting my time, Mary Higgins Clark!

In a riveting thriller, worldwide bestselling suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark brilliantly weaves the mystery of twin telepathy into a mother's search for a kidnapped child, presumed dead.

When Margaret and Steve Frawley come home to Connecticut from a black-tie dinner in New York, their three-year-old twins, Kathy and Kelly, are gone. The police found the babysitter unconscious, and a ransom note from the "Pied Piper" demands eight million dollars. Steve's global investment firm puts up the money, but when they go to retrieve the twins, only Kelly is in the car. The dead driver's suicide note says he inadvertently killed Kathy.

At the memorial, Kelly tugs Margaret's arm and says: "Mommy, Kathy is very scared of that lady. She wants to come home right now." At first, only Margaret believes that the twins are communicating and that Kathy is still alive. But as Kelly's warnings become increasingly specific and alarming, FBI agents set out on a desperate search.
