Alvirah Meehan, one of Mary Higgins Clark’s most beloved characters, returns in these dazzling, intertwined tales of sleuthing and suspense. Alvirah, the former cleaning lady who struck it rich in the lottery, made her first appearance in Weep No More, My Lady. Now, with her devoted mate, Willy, the ever-resourceful Alvirah delves into crime-solving on a grand scale — and with her own inimitable … inimitable style.
Among their many adventures, Alvirah and Willy find a dead actress in their Central Park South condominium upon their return from London in “The Body in the Closet.” Needing a break from the big city, they escape to Cape Cod — only to meet a would-be heiress framed for murder in “Death on the Cape.” When Alvirah and Willy seek the tranquillity of the Cypress Point Spa, it’s the perfect getaway — until a jewel thief turns up in “The Lottery Winner.” Back in Manhattan, the search for a neighbor’s missing newborn makes for a suspense-filled Christmas in “Bye, Baby Bunting.”

Didnt enjoy the characters. Felt like an old person’s idea of a mystery; dated.
A lot lighter than her usual story.

Her books are always so interesting, full of twists and turns.
Great book to sit back and enjoy. Loved the characters
Fun read.
Did not enjoy this book. Trite and predictable. Not on a par with other books by Mary Higgins Clark.
The cases were solved too easily and too fast for my liking, but still entertaining.
Series of short stories. Main character and her husband are winners of 40 Million dollar NY lottery. Could have been interesting from there but it was not. The rest requires you to believe that everywhere she goes she runs into a situation that this wannabe detective can solve with a brooch that records her conversation. When she gets into a …
Kept my attention.
Several stories in one book. Easy too read while taking care of grandkids
this should not have been published
Amateurish. Silly.
This book didn’t live up to Clark’s usual standard of writing, plot or character.
It is fun to follow characters thru different situations and get to know them. These mysteries have a twist at the end but are still light and does not dwell on violence.
Mary Higgins Clark is an exceptional author. No two books are the same. Well worth the reading.
Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors!
love all of Mary Higgins Clark. Wish she had written more books
