Photo: Jim Spellman/WireImage Mary Higgins Clark, also known as the “Queen of Suspense” thanks to her substantial output as a crime and mystery novelist, has died at the age of 92. Her publisher Simon & Schuster confirmed the news in a social media statement, saying that she “passed away peacefully” on January 31 “surrounded by family and friends.” The cause of death was described as “complications of old age.
” Starting with the publication of her first suspense novel Where Are the Children? in 1975, each of Clark’s 56 fiction books — which were deliberately devoid of profanity, sex, or extreme violence — have become subsequent bestsellers, with more than 100 million copies of her books sold in America alone.
