I know ahead of time that there aren't going to be any black characters in a Mary Higgins Clark novel, so I am able to appreciate it for its intrinsic value as a well-crafted mystery of the "woman-in-peril" genre. In other cases, I sometimes get the impression that a black character is inserted into the plot as a token gesture, for political correctness. That's patronizing. I'm at the point now where all I require of a book is that it be interesting and well-written.
