"It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Mary Higgins Clark died January 31, 2020 in Naples, Florida, at the age of 92. The cause was complications of old age," Reidy wrote.

"Those of us who are fortunate to have worked with Mary-and at Simon & Schuster, that is multitudes-know her as a person of tremendous loyalty and dedication," Reidy wrote in the statement. "In this day and age it is exceedingly rare for an author, especially one as prized as Mary, to remain with a single publisher for an entire forty-five-year career."
