Mary Higgins Clark at the Third Annual Quill Awards in 2007, honouring the year’s finest books and authors.
“She passed away peacefully this evening at the age of 92 surrounded by family and friends,” publisher Simon & Schuster said in a tweet late Friday. Throughout her career she received a number of awards, including France’s Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere in 1980, as well as being made Grand Master of the Edgar Allen Poe Awards by the Mystery Writers of America in 2000.“She was unique. Nobody ever bonded more completely with her readers than Mary did; she understood them as if they were members of her own family,” her long-time editor Michael Korda said in a statement.
“She creates characters that readers can identify with then puts them in scary situations. Fans love it,” NPR said. She started as a hotel telephone operator and was then a typist, while still dreaming of becoming a writer.
