A review by sammilittlejohns
The Lost Years by Mary Higgins Clark

1.0

Just overall so terrible and basic? Basic characters, who by the way, everyone is in LOVE with Mariah, like EVERYONE. Predictable plot. Also very amateurish descriptions of archaeology and very little historical detail. You can tell very little effort went into this book, sorry, if I have to read 'ancient manuscripts' 'ancient parchment's 'ancient blahblah' to describe anything archaeological ever again I'm going to be so mad. And, on a side note, how is EVERYONE so rich? That's the biggest laugh in this book that any of the archaeologists are rich.

This book just sums up to me why I really struggle to like any crime or thriller book. They're so boring, predictable and most of the time the author has zero idea what they're writing about.
