Summary: True to Form from Mary Higgens-Clark
Review: Leave it to MHC to come up with this story. I've read many of her books and like all of them, there is a twist towards the end. This book, however, is a bit twisted. It is the first time I've actucally been disturbed by her writing. Kind of goes to show what will happen if you don't spend some time getting to know your spouse before you get married! If you want a "real" scary book, this just might be the one for you! I'm 22 and live on a farm in Minnesota (where nothing like this has ever happened), I don't know that I would recommend this book to young readers. Especially those with step-parents they don't like!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Somewhat Dark Entertainment
Review: This is my first Mary Higgins Clark novel, and I must say, I was quite entertained to a certain degree. What kinda left me wondering about this main character, Jenny is, why she would just let someone, I don't care if it is her husband, (who I think she married too soon without getting to know him better)
take her own precious daughters off into oblivion without phoning the police first. Seems she should have sensed this was a nut case from the beginning! I just found this concept utterly RIDICULOUS!! Get REAL! But despite the rought edges,I'm glad what happened at the end.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ms. Clark at her best; an unforgettable book!
Review: This book makes my 10 ten all time favorite book list! The plot is amazing. Jenny Mac Partland, a lonely single mother meets who she believes is Mr. Right, rich, handsome Eric Kreuger. Jenny bears a startling resemblance to Eric's dead mother. Ms. Clark skillfully takes her reader through thier whirlwind romance and the disentegration of thier marriage. It's such a page turner, you will be up nights reading this one! I read this book once a year it's so good. A classic thriller!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I'm a MH Clark fan, but....
Review: I love Mary Higgins Clark, and have read all of her books. This one, however, has a dark quality that left me feeling eerie, not entertained. A book to avoid if you've been a victim of domestic abuse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best (and scariest) Book!
Review: I first read this book when I was eleven. I loved it so much, but I have to admit that it was really, really scary. I stayed up till midnight reading it all alone. That wasn't such a good idea because I couldn't sleep at all! I was shaking! It's a wonderful book, though, and if you like excitment and chills, get this book. Oh, and don't forget to read it during the day. Only during the day... :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Honest-To-Goodness Page Turner
Review: This story is great! I recently read this book and decided it was one of the best ever! Clark does an awesome job of developing characters. Erich, a wonderful gentleman, has many different sides to him, and the ending will definitly surprise you. It's so full of suspense that you can hardly read fast enough. I found myself reading it every moment I got, including the late hours of the night. The mysterious ways of the farm life makes you want to read it over and over just to see if maybe you missed something important that may explain why things are the way they are. It's kind of neat how all of the characters are related to each other in ways you never would have guessed. A wonderful book and definetly a must-read for those readers who love suspense and horror.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CHILLING PORTRAIT ETCHED IN TERROR
Review: Jenny McPartland, a divorcee and mother of 2 at 27 lives in a modest Manhattan apartment. She scrapes to make ends meet for her two daughters, Beth 3, and Tina, 2.

Her luck seems to change when she meets the charismatic Erich Krueger at an art gallery where she works. She is literally swept off her feet by Erich and subsequently marries him. They leave Manhattan for Erich's ancestral home in Granite Springs, Minnesota.

Once in Minnesota, alarming facets of Erich's personality appear. His relentless obsession with his dead mother, Caroline and his constant references to her are alarming. It is interesting that he applies no maternal name to her; she is always "Caroline." Caroline at the start of this story has been dead for over 25 years, having died in 1956 when Erich was then 10. (The story is set in 1981-83). Erich insists Jenny dress like Caroline; wear Caroline's aqua colored gown to bed; use the same pine scented soap Caroline used and in general, replace the mother he lost at 10.

More cracks appear in Erich's seemingly flawless armor. Mysterious deaths are part of the Granite Springs home. A young woman disappeared some 10 years earlier and is presumably dead; dogs also were presumably killed and Jenny and Erich's baby dies a mysterious death. Jenny's daughters say that Jenny killed their brother, that she "covered his face with a blanket."

But did she? Jenny doubts this. She also has doubts in Erich, who kidnaps the girls and hides even more terrifying secrets on and around the property. Life with Erich, as Jenny was to discover was a chilling portrait etched in terror.

Definitely worth 10 or more stars. This is my favorite book by Mary Higgins Clark.

Rating: 5 stars
