Review: I loved the novel. It was absolutely prefect. When I read the novel, I couldn't put it down! It keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole book. Mary Higgins Clark just has a way of keeping you into the novel until you finish one her suspense-filled books. In the novel Silent Night, a lady named Catherine Dornan lost her wallet and her son. Her wallet fall out of her handbag, and her son ran after it. A lady named Cally Hunter stole her wallet and ran with it. However, when Cally got home her bother who is an escape killer, was there waiting for her. Brian, Catherine's son followed Cally home and consequently, Jimmy; Cally's bother, kidnapped him. The only thing Brian Dornan was worried about was getting back to his mother before Christmas and for him to get back the St. Christopher medal to his father, so he can get well. Risking his own life and safety...what a kid! You'll have to read the book to find out how the story ends. In my opinion, all of the characters in the novel are plausible because their actions and reactions are very believable, by how Mary Higgins Clark wrote it. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Summary: A Christmas Gift
Review: I read this book while I was sitting in my OB/GYN's office, in agony. It was Thanksgiving and Christmas was right around the corner, and I fould out that I had tumors. I checked out the book as a Christmas read, but after reading it, it confirmed the idea of what Christmas is all about. I realized how lucky I was, and was glad that my health problem had been found before it grew worse.

Summary: Sleep In Heavenly Peace
Review: Mary Higgins Clark has a countless number of excellently written books, and this one is just another addition to her wonderful collection. In SILENT NIGHT, Clark writes another super Christmas time thriller.

With her husband stricken with Leukemia, Catherine Dornan is about to take her two boys, Michael and Brian, to the hospital to present him with a very special gift. While out on the streets, Catherine accidentally drops her wallet with this special gift, a St. Christopher medal, and Brian chases after the woman, Cally, who picks it up. From there, the novel really takes off as Brian is eventually kidnapped and held captive by an escaped prisoner on a race to the Canadian border in the midst of a heavy snowstorm.

In this ferociously fast-paced story, Clark manages to mesh together an outstanding cast of diverse characters, all of whom tie in to the search for Brian. The well-developed plot is constantly changing, leaving the reader in a pleasant, rapid page-turning frenzy.

Overall, this is a very well-written book that is hard to put down. Clark is an amazing storyteller, and her imagery and detailed writing make for an enjoyable read. The suspense will have you on the edge of your seat, as this is not a calm and silent night.

Summary: Silent Night
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is an amazing author and she shows it in the book Silent Night. This book will get the reader hooked, which makes it very hard to put it down. The suspense just makes the want to read it from the first page until the last page, without stopping. The book is about a mother, Catherine Dornan, and her two boys Michael, the oldest, and Brain, the youngest. They were going to visit their father in the hospital who had been somewhat recently diagnosed with Leukemia. Brain wants to give his father a present that he had received from his grandfather. His mother was holding on to the gift in her wallet. They walked to the hospital to see all of the Christmas activities on their way. Catherine dropped her wallet trying to put it back into her purse on the way, but she did not realize that she had dropped it. Brain saw her drop it and was going to pick it up when another lady beat him to it. He followed her to her home and ended up in a room with the lady who took the wallet and an escaped prisoner. This book has many plot changes that add to the development of the story line and its eventual climax. This is a really good book and I encourage anyone who likes a good mystery book to get this book and read it. Reading Silent Night is defiantly worth your time.

Summary: Readers Responce
Review: Silent Night by Mary Higgens Clark was an excellent book! I had never read a book by Mary Higgens Clark, but now she's my favorite author, and I can't wait to read more! The way that Mary Higgens Clark wrote kept me hooked through out the entire book, it really made me use my imagination!

The book is about a family at Christmas time in New York visiting their father who is in the hospital. When a special present for the father is stolen by a woman, the youngest boy follows her only to get into alot of trouble.

With passages from the book like:"He wanted to get to the hospital and watch Mom give Dad the big St. Christopher medal that had saved his Grandpa's life when he was a soldier in World War II." and, "He stuck the gun back inside his jacket, then reached down and roughly pulled Brian to his feet.",it is evenly kindhearted, yet suspenseful.

This book is great for readers of all ages! If you don't like being anxious, or suspended this book maynot be for you.
