   "Where Are the Children" was a decent read. It was compelling to see how different we were as a society with women in the 70s and how they were much more subservient than they are nowadays. "A Stranger is Watching" was a good book too. Again, because it was set in the 70s, and I'm reading it in 2011, times are a bit different. I really just wanted to strangle Arty. Always imagining that a woman was in love with him, and wanting to kiss her and love on her was rather disgusting in the given situat "Where Are the Children" was a decent read.

It is scary how much we have advanced since the 1970s though. Wow. And crime scene investigations have also advanced to where Dr. Highly's criminal actions would likely have been discovered years before he managed to kill off so many people. Well, we can hope.

   Although I’ve become accustomed to the usual formula for her books, these were not what I expected! Usually I am trying to guess which character is the murderer, but in two of these books it was clear right away. I was still able to guess the twists, but not until very near the end!

   First read Where are the Children? in 1977 while instructional aid for high school English class. Current read confirmed the characters and crimes were quite simplified by 2019 standards. Writing has more repetition than I prefer, but it was a less violent/sexually explicit murder mystery book I picked for reading to 98 year old mom.

    The Cradle Will Fall is the one that I liked the best. I think her older work is better, because it was new. Now all of her stories seems alike.

    Have just started reading Mary Higgins Clark and I have found another awesome author to follow. I really enjoyed all 3 novels and I'm sure I will enjoy the rest of her books.
