The Lost Years by Mary Higgins Clark
2.0
A friend of mine loves Mary Higgins Clark, so I decided to give her a chance. I don't feel like I wasted much time reading this since it was a quick read. I'm a big fan of mystery (especially a good Sherlock story), but I don't feel this book challenged the reader at all. Much of the character dialogue seemed to repeat redundant details and facts but did little to endear the characters to the reader.
I really wanted to like this book since I am a history buff and the plot centered around the murder of an archaeology professor and a priceless artifact, but I just couldn't. I'm not saying I expected a piece of classic literature, but I've had more fun reading young adult mysteries. Maybe I'll give MHC another try... I guess I picked one of her least popular books.
