Order of Alvirah and Willy Books

The beloved duo of Alvirah and Willy springs from the imagination of acclaimed suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark, with several titles co-written alongside her daughter Carol Higgins Clark. These memorable characters weave through multiple mystery novels, sometimes taking center stage and other times playing crucial supporting roles. Alvirah Meehan struck it rich with a $40 million lottery jackpot, while her husband Willy works as a plumber.

The pair first appeared in 1987's Weep No More, My Lady, where they served as supporting characters. Readers had to wait seven years before Alvirah and Willy earned their own spotlight in 1994's short story collection The Lottery Winner. The following list presents Mary Higgins Clark's Alvirah and Willy novels arranged by publication date, which mirrors their chronological sequence:

Note: Carol Higgins Clark collaborated with her mother on Deck the Halls, The Christmas Thief, Santa Cruise, and Dashing Through the Snow.
