Summary: Extremely Frightning and Chilling...Worthy of 10 stars!
Review: This has got to be one of the most chilling and awesome books I have ever had the pleasure of reading! It literally scared me at times and was on the edge of my seat reading this! This is a classic thriller with all the makings of a blockbuster movie!

~Jenny MacPartland is a single mother of two little girls Beth and Tina. She lives alone with them in an expensive apartment that is shabby and small in New York City. She works as an art dealer in one of the city's prestigeous dealerships. She meets a budding artist with loads of talent named Erich Krueger who sells his paintings for top dollar, almost unheard of for a new artist. Erich immediately begins asking her out and takes it upon himself to do things for her and loves her kids immediately! Jenny is so excited she doesn't pay heed to her neighbor's warning about him being 'too perfect' and marries him in one short month! Things couldn't be better for her and the girls when he asks her to adopt the girls since her ex-husband doesn't bother with them. Jenny is estatic that he would love her girls as much as she and urges him to adopt them.
Erich is rich, he not only paints, but is a successful rancher and owns a large ranch in Minnesota. He wants to bring them out there and live. They do and everyone is happy and things are going great until the lonely nights in the huge house were grating on her nerves as Erich would spend days in the isolated cabin in the woods painting. The eerie nights brought on strange happenings in the house and Jenny begins to feel as though she is alone in her fear. Erich has a secret...a very deep and terrifying one that could destroy Jenny's happy existence...he is hiding a past that is unthinkable and chilling. Erich is desperate to keep her and vows he will never let her go because he loves her so much, but Jenny is beginning to fear for her sanity and her very life...and the lives of her two little girls...

A twisted tale of obsession and madness that will leave chills down your spine and cause your heart to pound. This book could easily be read in one sitting, very hard to put down. It will keep you thinking about it long after you shut the lights off...but will you be able to sleep? A definate keeper! Worthy of 10 stars!

Summary: chilling
Review: Mary Higgins Clark has written another book that had me up all night, checking my windows for people hidden in the bushes, and looking over my shoulder. Higgins Clark takes a break from her usual urban settings and places this one on a farm in the middle of nowhere. The effect is chilling, especially since the character has no one she can truly trust. The ending wasn't totally predictable, either. The Queen of Suspense has done it again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't bother with this one!
Review: I have given up on Mary Higgins Clark. This book was the last straw. I have read many of her books and this one was a waste. Too many holes.

For example, and sorry I don't have the page numbers on me. This main character could not be that naïve. I mean, come on now, she is pregnant, and has no way of knowing where her husband is when he is in the cabin. She can't call him if she were sick. She is in this house and never goes out for her own hygiene products. Get real.

In another chapter. She is so worried about someone coming in the house and taking her keys. She is horrified. Wouldn't a mother be afraid of someone coming in the house and taking her children. At one point the phone rings and she is terrified that that someone will get her. What about the kids?

Later, when she thinks she is having contractions, she rushes out house to see the doctor. No mention of a babysitter. She just leaves.

She never asked about her phone calls or her mail. No one would call? What about the w-2 form from the old place. I know I am being cynical, but I am only stating that the pictured was painted that she was in this house and everything was just that. The kids were not even being taught anything, just playing everyday

It didn't add up.

Summary: MHC's BEST EVER!
Review: I loved this book! It was a real page turner and hard to put down. I even thought about writing the author and telling her I thought this was her best work ever. I've read most of her books but this is my favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Cry in the Night
Review: A Cry in the Night is a very different, almost strange, novel. It kept me on the edge of my seat yet was very clear with the characters. I liked this book because it was so different, and the characters just made it all the more better. This fascinating book seems to be based on a fairytale of Cinderella, but modernized. Located in New York, Jenny MacPartland, an art major who works for a gallery, lives in a small apartment with her two daughters, Tina, three, and Beth, two. Suddenly, swept off her feet by Erich Krueger, a well-known painter, to his Minnesota farm, Jenny is astounded by the difference in life. She soon becomes adapted to farm life, until strange things start to happen. Everyone keeps reminding her of how she looks like Erich's dead mother, Caroline, and then her two daughters say they saw her. Made to believe she sleepwalks and daydreams, Jenny believes she is going mad, but when she uncovers the truth behind Erich's background, she realizes that she is not the one who is mad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Cry in The Night
Review: A Cry in the night. This book is the best book you can read of mystery's. I like this book personally because it's more human like and is what would really happen in this world instead of some fantasy land. The five things I like about this book are: when jenny enjoyed herself, erich took jenny and the girls shopping, tina and beth got to ride the ponies, tina volunteered to do almost anything, and when rooney came to visit and taught jenny how to sew. Five things i didn't like about this book are: when jenny was accused of kiling kevin, joe oved out of his mothers house, erich goes to the cabin for days, joe gets fired from his job on the farm, and when the sherrif ask to many questions and jenny faints. the people who would enjoy this book are people who like mystery and gory in one book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Cry in the Night
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is a great writer. Her books keep you in suspense and keep you interested in the book. A Cry in the Night is a very suspense filled book, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. Some books loose their flavor after the climax, but Clark keeps you in suspense up until the very end of the book. While reading the book your mind keeps wondering about who is roaming around the house at night and who the mystery woman is. You can try to draw conclusions on who it might be, but when you continue reading you are forced to change your mind, because you have just uncovered a new fact. Throughout the novel it seems to point you in the wrong direction to whom is in the house and what is going on in the Krueger farm. It has a very surprising end and no matter who you thought the woman was, you are very surprised when you find out who it is. The book deserves the five star rating because, unlike other novels I have experimented with, this one seems to keep your mind thinking throughout and you not wanting to stop until you uncover the answer to the many questions you have. . All of Clark's books are very suspense filled mystery novels. In this particular book Clark uses foreshadowing. At the very beginning she talks about how Jenny's ex-husband has red hair and baby blue eyes. She also tells the audience how much they wanted a boy. It foreshadows a scene where her new husband and her are pregnant and she has the baby, but there is one catch, it has read hair and blue eyes, unlike her husband whom has blond hair and green eyes. Clark uses this technique very silently and is hard to pick up, but it makes the book well worth reading into. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a good mystery novel with all elements and more wrapped into an all around great novel.

Rating: 5 stars
