Mary Higgins Clark, the bestselling and prolific mystery writer who earned the nickname the “Queen of Suspense,” has died at the age of 92
Clark’s publisher Simon & Schuster announced the author’s death Friday,“It is with deep sadness we say goodbye to the ‘Queen of Suspense’ Mary Higgins Clark, author of over 40 bestselling suspense titles,” Simon & Schuster. “She passed away peacefully this evening, January 31, at the age of 92 surrounded by family and friends.”
“Nobody ever bonded more completely with her readers than Mary did,” Clark’s longtime editor Michael Korda said in statement . “She understood them as if they were members of her own family. She was always absolutely sure of what they wanted to read — and, perhaps more important, what they didn’t want to read — and yet she managed to surprise them with every book.”
Clark penned nearly 40 novels and sold over 100 million copies over a career that began in earnest in the mid-Sixties after her husband Warren Clark died of a heart attack in 1964 and left her widowed with five children.
