The Lottery Winner: Alvirah and Willie Stories

Written by Mary Higgins Clark

Narrated by Jean Stapleton

Mary Higgins Clark, the bestselling “Queen of Suspense,” returns with Alvirah Meehan—one of her most beloved characters—in these six dazzling, intertwined, and thrilling tales of sleuthing and suspense.

Together with her devoted mate, the ever-resourceful Alvirah has jumped into crime solving on a grand scale—and with her indomitable spirit and style. Among their many adventures, Alvirah and Willy find a dead actress in their Central Park South condominium upon their return from London in “The Body in the Closet.” Needing a break from the big city, they escape to Cape Cod—only to meet a would-be heiress framed for murder in “Death on the Cape.” When Alvirah and Willy seek the tranquility of the Cypress Point Spa, it’s the perfect getaway—until a jewel thief turns up in “The Lottery Winner.” Back in Manhattan, the search for a neighbor’s missing newborn makes for a suspense-filled Christmas in “Bye, Baby Bunting.”

The perfect collection for both Mary Higgins Clark and mystery fans, the stories in The Lottery Winner will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you breathless!

Reviews for The Lottery Winner

[Warton Home · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love the characters, all so interesting, and the delightful way the narrator speaks. Love the accent.

Fans of Clark's darker suspense/thrillers may not like Alvirah and Willy, a much more lighthearted look at humanity. These six short stories feature an elderly couple who travel on the proceeds of a lottery win and solve mysteries.
