I wouldn't recommend this book to people that don't like to be held onto the edge of there seat and to people who don't like sad and depressing stories, because believe me it isn't the happiest book.Ī brief summary would be two weeks before Christmas Catherine Dornan got a call saying that her husband has collapsed at work and is being care flighted to New York. They and pretty much everyone else would be pulled into the book and just can't stop reading. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes suspense and mystery especially Lauren, Hope, Cody, and Hannah. She does this by how we all know how it is on Christmas eve in New York it is crazy! Wallets can easily fall out and be taken. Another reason I gave it a 10 out of 10 is because how she connects the book to real life. Christopher medal and how it plays its role in the book and how big of a role it plays in the book. What a lovely Christmas present right? Also, I liked the way Mary Clark describes the part about The St. I liked the part about not only is Brian's dad Tom very sick with leukemia and Brian goes missing to top it all of it is Christmas Eve. When I first started reading this book I wasn't so sure that I was going to like it, but I was 100% wrong. Having the wallet stolen and a murder on the lose creates so much suspense in the book that you just can't put the book down. I give Silent Night a 10 out of 10 due to the way Mary Higgins Clark played the book out.

E questi proprio, nonostante faccia delle cose palesemente condannabili, la rende comunque vicina e comprensibile.įinale scontato ma anche in pieno clima natalizio e quindi ci può stare. Solo Cally è quella che sembra resa più realistica, con dei difetti e delle paure, con fragilità e che commette errori. Ugualmente la figura di Jimmy è chiaramente negativa fortemente stereotipata e per niente “umana”.

Impossibile non simpatizzare con il piccolo protagonista, anche se inizialmente vorresti dirgli di fermarsi che si sta comportando da stupido. Ed è per la medaglia di San Cristoforo che contiene, il motivo per cui lui la segue fino a casa, incontrando il fratello Jimmy evaso dal carcere e in fuga disperata dalla polizia per raggiungere il Canada.ĭevo dire che questo secondo me non è uno dei migliori di questa autrice ma rientra in quella categoria di thriller che io definisco “da film”, nel senso che non sono granché a livello di trama che è davvero scarna e semplice, molto brevi e veloci, ma che proprio per la velocità delle azioni riescono a creare nella mente del lettore delle immagini molto vivide che sarebbero perfette da mettere sullo schermo televisivo. Si perché la storia si svolge tutta tra la vigilia di Natale e la mattina del 25, tra le strade e i maestosi famosissimi festeggiamenti della metropoli, tra cantori e vetrine e pacchi regalo, si incrociano per pura casualità le vite di Cally e del piccolo Brian, per un portafoglio che case dalle mani della mamma. Questo della Higgins Clark comincia già da una copertina pienamente a tema, rossa e con la pallina dell’albero. With danger all around him, Brian clings to that metal praying that it will protect him too.Ĭominciamo con i film e i libri a tema natalizio anche se da un po’ non sono più mia abitudine. Christopher metal meant to protect his dad as it protected his grandfather is in the wallet too. He follows the woman because a very special St. Her seven-year-old son, Brian notices that his mom's wallet has fallen from her bag and been picked up by a woman.

To life their spirits and hers too, Catherine takes to boys to Rockefeller Center to see the Sak's display and the tree. She is in New York City, far from home her two boys are cranky, and her husband, Tom, is in the hospital just having had surgery. It's Christmas Eve and Catherine Dornan doesn't have a lot to celebrate. The interview with Mary Higgins Clark at the end of the book is wonderful, giving insight to this authors life and how her career came about. This book actually has some essence of what the season is about as opposed to most of the books I've read that could have been set at any time of the year and the author just happens to pick Christmas. This isn't a sweet romance this is a suspense as only the Queen of Suspense can write one. There is a lot of suspense and some much-needed Christmas love. Get your Kleenex ready, you're going to need them with this wonderful Christmas book.
