SILENT NIGHT
“SILENT NIGHT is an exciting, touching, and very short novel by one of America’s finest mystery writers. It’s a quick read and can strengthen and inspire the faith in all of us.”
—Beverly Glass, Lexington Herald-Leader
“Ms. Clark’s simply drawn characters and cliffhanger plotting are at their most effective in SILENT NIGHT.”
—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal
“A wonderful story for the Christmas season and a great candidate for gift giving. . . . suspenseful and fast-paced.”
—Sally Kuzenski, Baton Rouge Advocate
“Mary Higgins Clark’s brand of romantic suspense has won her a large army of fans. . . . Nobody brews it better.”
—Robert Wade, The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Ms. Clark is a natural-born storyteller. . . . She taps into some elemental fear that really gives you the willies.”
—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
“Clark, one of the most beloved suspense authors, has created a very special story about the healing power of love and of a child’s faith. SILENT NIGHT is written with great warmth, yet set against a background of imminent menace and great suspense. . . .”
—Valerie Ryan, Price Costco Connection
“Mary Higgins Clark [is] the mistress of suspense [with SILENT NIGHT].”
—Digby Diehl, Modern Maturity
“SILENT NIGHT’s ominous pacing starts quickly and ends with a lump-in-the-throat, tear-filled finish. The character of Catherine Dornan is poignant and believable. . . . The plights of the mother, son, and even the thief are heart-stopping and keep the pages turning. For those who cannot seem to finish a novel, this is a book for them. Not only is it excellently crafted—but Clark makes every word count.”
—Columbia Daily Tribune (MO)
“Few contemporary suspense writers have achieved the balance that Clark has in her books. Her works include high doses of suspense and mystery.”
—Clara G. Herrera, San Jose Mercury News
“With SILENT NIGHT, Clark reveals herself to be appealingly attuned to the holiday spirit and the frosted rainbow of emotions it evokes. . . . Clark’s Christmas gift to her readers keeps faith both with the Yuletide spirit and the conventions of a classic mystery.”
—Mystery Guild
“Mary Higgins Clark . . . [is] the Mother Superior of American suspense fiction.”
—Patricia A. Eller, The Virginian-Pilot
“Mary Higgins Clark is popular because she writes about universal emotions and relationships. She tells suspenseful stories about nice people . . . [and] creates characters about whom we care and with whom we can identify. . . .”
—Roy E. Perry, Nashville Banner
“Mary Higgins Clark is rightfully considered the reigning queen of modern suspense. . . .”
—Carolyn Tillery, Mostly Murder
“When Mary Higgins Clark begins one of her masterful tales of suspense, the room becomes quiet. Everyone draws closer to the fire and the magic begins.”
—Patricia A. Jones, Tulsa World
