This book contains a number of stories about Alvirah Meehan, the cleaning woman who won the lottery and appeared in "Weep No More, My Lady." Here are some reviewers comments on the book:

"No one knows better than Mary Higgins Clark how to turn fear into great entertainment....She is a true national treasure." --Wake Tsunada, Associated Press

"The six stories in The Lottery Winner are gems...In addition to Clark's tight, wonderfully suspenseful polots, the reader simply enjoys being with Alvirah and Willie...Clark has always been a great author with whom to spend an afternoon or evening, and her latest book holds true to form." --Baton Rouge Advocate

"Clark's book is fun because perhaps everyone has dreamed of winning the lottery, and the two protagonists of these stories couldn't be more deserving...Alvirah also has turned into a brilliant sleuth..Best of all, we get to play You Be the Detective with the unflappable Alvirah...Let's hear it for Mary Higgins Clark." --San Fransisco Chronicle

"Readers of Mary Higgins Clark will welcome this collection of stories from her experienced hand in a series of ingenious mysetry-cum-search exploits which testify to the author's storytelling abilities." --John Barkham Reviews

"The Meehans' escapades constitute a good read." --Lexington Herald Leader

"This is a literary comfort food...jsut as chicken soup is something to the body, The Lottery Winner restores the mind." --Denver Post
