Summary: "A Shot In The Dark"
Review: This was my first Mary Higgins Clark read. What got me right from the start is how she wrote one of the last chapters first. It really got me into it right away. I call it a shot in the dark because the main character, Jenny goes out on a limb and falls in love with (and marries) a man she just met and gets swept into a world of weirdos and her life just gets swept upside down. It is quite exciting, and interesting complete with poisonings, thefts, kidnappings, and more. Quite a good read.

Summary: A Cry in the Night
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is a very good writer. A Cry in the Night was a very good book. The beginning of the book was a little slow, but good. Jenny, a single mother of two, trying to do everything on her, own with a selfish ex-husband, meets one of the biggest artists and falls in love. She moves all the way from New York, away from her ex-husband, to Minnesota to be with Erich. Erich talks about adopting the kids, and getting married, moving to his home in Minnesota, a huge farm. He often tries to make Jenny out to be like his mother who passed away many years ago. Soon after they are married, Jenny is to have no contact with anyone, and can and cannot do certain things. Erich will not rearrange things in the home, in hope for the same as it was when his mother was alive. Some strange things start to happen, and everything soon falls apart. Jenny attempts to leave and return to New York, but will Erich let it happen? I think that this book could have had a little more time to get started with everything, but I really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to someone who likes suspense.

Summary: A Cry In The Night
Review: A Cry In The Night ia abook of romance and full of mysteries, also brings fear that is terrifying to the characters of the book. Marry Higgins Clark is an author that includes every little detail as possible for the reader to visualize what is really going on in the minds of the characters. As a reader I was amazed and stunned by the shocking surprises that were unexpected. This book is one of the first books I've read by Marry Higgins Clark and I just couldn't put it down. I'am looking forward to keep reading another of her best selling books by this terrific author.

Summary: Best Mystery Ever
Review: Mary Higgins Clark is an outstanding mystery author. The book,A Cry in the Night, is a good book you won't want to put down. I really enjoyed the book. The book is about a rich painter, Erich, who comes to New York City to show his paintings in an art gallery. He meets Jenny, a woman who works at the gallery, and falls in love with her. The thing is she looks exactly like his dead mother. The two get married and move to his ranch in the West. After awhile Jenny notices things are changing. She wonders if she is losing her mind or if her husband is. That is all I can say without giving anything away. I believe, A Cry in the Night is a perfect title for this book. I can't explain why, because I don't want to ruin it for those of you who haven't read the book yet.

Summary: This One Made Me Sleep With One Eye Open
Review: I am truly a fan of Mary Higgins Clark. I have read all of her books at least once and I read this one a couple of years ago and it is STILL fresh on my mind. I won't reveal the plot in this review but I'm confident that if you like mysteries, you will read it in one sitting; I did. After reading the other reviews of Mary Higgins Clark's works, I will agree that most of her stories are somewhat similar, some (though few) maybe even predictable, but she keeps it clean and smooth, never too may words or too much useless info. They usually have a happy ending in which the good "guys" or "ladies" win and I feel satisfied when I'm done reading it. Honestly, in this day and time, couldn't we all use a happy ending? All in all, this is my favorite, but don't take my word for it - read it yourself.

Summary: I Expected more from the Queen of Suspense
Review: While I have read many of Mary Higgins Clark's book and thoroughly enjoyed them, I did not find "A Cry in the Night" to be quite up to par. Like all of Clark's books, this one was chock full of terror and suspense and was hard to put down, but this time I knew what was going to happen. This book bares a striking resemblance to Hitchcock's "Psycho" and when Erich's deep, dark secret from the past is finally brought to light, the reader is not at all shocked, because there have been too many clues throughout the book. I recommend this book as an interesting read, but have to admit that it is not quite up to "loves Music, Loves to Dance" or "Stillwatch", my favorite Clark books so far.

Summary: Similar to 'Psycho'
Review: Quite predictable but it was a good read nonetheless.Seems like this would have been Norman Bates'(Psycho)other life had he chosen to marry instead of manning the motels.

Summary: IT WAS OKAY...I EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE
Review: THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK I READ BY MARY HIGGINS CLARK. THE TITLE AND THE COVER REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE. IT HAD PLENTY OF SUSPENSE AND REALLY ENTERED THE WORLD OF PYCHOPATHS. IT WAS A LITTLE UNREALISTIC ALSO. I FIND IT VERY TO BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN WOULD ALLOW HER HUSBAND TO COMPLETELY ISOLATE FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, RICH OR NOT. I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP ON MS. CLARK. I WILL TRY ANOTHER BOOK. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, SHE AN EXCELLENT AUTHOR.

Summary: 1st and definately not the last
Review: This was the first book I read by Mary Higging Clark and definately not the last. I have been searching for a good mystery, suspense, writer that could actually capture my attention and keep it. As soon as I started the book I could not put it down and actually read the bood in 2 days. This will definately not be the last book I read by her.

Summary: almost flawless
Review: this book was great. i loved how creepy jenny's husband acted about his mother. the most twisted(but deliciously satisfying) part is when erich won't be intimate with jenny unless she is wearing his mother's nightgown. however some of the plot was a little out there. i mean who is really THAT messed up but even more so, who wouldn't have been able to notice it sooner? it is a refreshing change from her other books. if you've read them, you know what i mean. (the murderer comes home, cleans up his mess and unwinds with a glass of vodka in his study. the victim is always a single, rich woman living in a new york skyline apartment. why couldn't the murderer be a woman for once?) anyway, about THIS book, it wasn't that, so to me, that made it better.
