Deck the Halls/The Christmas Thief: Two Holiday Novels, Aug 31 2011
By Vonna Privett "Gift Giver" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deck the Halls/The Christmas Thief: Two Holiday Novels (Hardcover)
Deck the Halls/The Christmas Thief: Two Holiday Novels I own every Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark book these ladies have written. Carol is Mary's daughter. On three occasions they have collaborated at Christmas time to write mysteries using characters from both their books. Mary uses her first character from the Lottery Ticket, Alvira and her husband. Carol uses her PI, Regan and her new hubby, Jack with the same last name, Reilly, who is a NY Detective; who are her characters in every one of her books. These books are really nice collaborations and I look forward to their Christmastime books! I would recommend buying any of the Clark books if you love mysteries! Amazon.com will help you keep your favorites cataloged and even give you the opportunity to purchase the newest editions!

Two Holiday Suspense Novels in One Volume, Nov 20 2009
By Edie Dykeman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deck the Halls/The Christmas Thief: Two Holiday Novels (Hardcover)
Bestselling suspense novelist Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter and bestselling author Carol Higgins Clark joined together when they wrote Deck the Halls, first published in 2000. Their sleuths, Regan Reilly and Alvirah Meehan, team up again in the 2004 The Christmas Thief.
Although both stories were enjoyable, I especially liked the first novel, Deck the Halls. The writing was crisp and the storyline taut. While the underlying humor was interesting, the plot centered on how the inept kidnappers were going to pull everything together and whether the victims were going to be rescued in time to spend Christmas with their families. Although the ending was a given, the ride throughout was fantastic fun.
With The Christmas Thief, the criminals were just as inept, but the storyline just wasn't as interesting or mysterious for me. The authors spent too much time on the suspects and not enough on the main characters, whose lives prove to be much more interesting.
Fans of the authors will enjoy that these two stories are now combined in one book and available to read as we head into the Christmas season.
