The author of this book is Mary Higgins Clark. It took me a few seconds to type and search on google.com. I couldn’t find the author of the book in our library mainly because looking for an author of a book in the encyclopedias is an unknown task for me. I probably could not find it in the library because it just wasn’t there or I didn’t have the know how to look for a book’s title in the encyclopedia. Thus it is easier to use a search engine then to use the encyclopedia because you’ll need little knowledge to use Google making it the better way to go.
