The March read for the Abingdon Lite at Night book group was Two Little Girls in Blue. A bestselling novel in 2006, Two Little Girls has been compared to Clark's first novel Where are the Children, both featuring the abduction of children. Margaret and Steve Frawley face the worst that can happen when their twin daughters are kidnapped. One daughter, Kelly, is returned after a ransom is paid by Steve's company, but the other daughter, Kathy, remains missing. Their mother believes Kelly is telepathically in touch with her twin, but those around her think she is hysterical and take some convincing. There are subplots concerning Steve's half-brother, and Norman, who works for the same company as Steve. There are several suspects for the role of the Pied Piper, the mysterious man behind the kidnappings, so the plot keeps the reader interested. Despite the content, this is a quick and easy read. In general the group enjoyed reading this, and although some were not too excited by it, others said they would read other books by Clark.
