Mary Higgins Clark, who published her first mystery in 1975 and went on to be known as the Queen of Suspense, died January 31 of natural causes at her home in Naples, Fla. She was 92.
During her long writing career, Clark wrote 38 suspense novels, four collections of short stories, a historical novel, a memoir, and two children's books. With her daughter Carol Higgins Clark, she coauthored five more suspense novels, and cowrote the Under Suspicion series, comprising The Cinderella Murder, All Dressed in White, The Sleeping Beauty Killer, Every Breath You Take, and You Don't Own Me with bestselling author Alafair Burke. Among her best-known works were her 1975 novel Where Are the Children?-not her debut, but her first successful novel-and 2005's No Place Like Home.
