RED BANK: SAY HI TO MARY, AT THE MOLLY
International best-selling novelist and Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark visits the Green on Thursday, as special guest at the AAUW Gala Scholarship Luncheon.
Her nearly four dozen novels, story collections, holiday tales, memoirs and children’s books have sold millions of copies, been translated into a score of languages, adapted to screens of all sizes, and made her one of the world’s wealthiest and most consistently successful wordsmiths in any genre. But it’s as Queen of Suspense that Mary Higgins Clark will forever reign supreme, with a never-out-of-print catalog of crime and mystery page-turners that include A Stranger is Watching, A Cry in the Night, Where Are the Children? and the all-new I’ve Got You Under My Skin. A serial winner of literary prizes, honorary doctorates, lifetime achievement awards and layperson honors from the Pope, the author has even had a major award named for her by the Mystery Writers of America, the organization that she previously served as president.
This Thursday, May 8, the part-time resident of Spring Lake will take lunch overlooking the Navesink at The Molly Pitcher Inn, as the special guest of honor for the annual Gala Scholarship Luncheon of the AAUW NJ Northern Monmouth County Branch — the state’s largest local chapter of the nationwide nonprofit American Association of University Women.
