Vaanivat silmät Tekijä: Mary Higgins Clark
Tuli tartuttua vanhaan hyvään Higgins Clarkiin paremman puutteessa. 70-luvun henki ensin hiukan tympäisi, mutta ei sille mitään mahda että tämä rouva on armoitettu kertoja tässä lajissa. Nykypäivän jännitysromaanien äärimmilleen viety raakuus ja kerronnan itsetarkoituksellinen nopeatempoisuus alkaa muutenkin välillä kyllästyttää, joten tällainen "perinteinen" kerronta on hyvää vaihtelua.
