Editorial Review of A Cry In The Night
When Jenny MacPartland meets the man of her dreams while working in a New York art gallery, she's ecstatic. Painter Erich Krueger -- whose exquisite landscapes are making him a huge success -- is handsome, sensitive...and utterly in love with her. They marry quickly and Jenny plans a loving home on Erich's vast Minnesota farm. But lonely days and eerie nights strain her nerves to the breaking point and test her sanity. Caught in a whirlpool of shattering events, Jenny soon unearths a past more terrifying than she dares imagine...tragic secrets that threaten her marriage, her children, her life.

Review Summary: Mary's own life
Review: As a longtime fan of hers, I read this book but did not enjoy it much, as it seemed like she was trying something odd and new, completely alien geo. territory, strange characters. If you look at an older copy of this, like a library copy, you see in the earlier editions she dedicated it to her SECOND husband, and at that time she LIVED in Minnesota! Apparently that marriage was brief and unhappy, she returned to the NY/NJ area where she now lives and remarried a few years ago to her current husband. there has never been any reference to the 2nd marriage or to her life in Minn. again.

Review Summary: I was totally sucked into this book!!!
Review: I've read a few of Clark's other books, and liked them, but I spend most of my time and money on non fiction books. My mom had this and brought it over to me as soon as she finished saying how great it was. She was right, I finished it that night! I felt so bad for her, getting herself stuck into a situation that kept getting worse. I also realy identified with the loss of the baby, because I have lost one too. I will definitly be reading more of her books in the future!

Review Summary: great book if you enjoy the gratuitous killing of animals
Review: I may have read one or two of her books in the past, but I won't be in a hurry to pick up another one. Besides the two instances where an animal was cruelly and unnecessarily killed, I could see the predictable, happily-ever-after ending coming a mile away.

Review Summary: It's just "okay"
Review: I'm not a huge Mary Higgins Clark fan, but I have enjoyed a few of her books. However, after reading people like Nora Roberts, Linda Howard, and Sandra Brown, this book seems quite "empty" to me. There's no real substance to it. Clark doesn't write characters that I want to read about, characters that I either love or hate. When I read, I like KNOWING the character, and seeing the story through their eyes. Here I don't know much about them at all. I know Clark writes mystery, not romance, but still, the whole relationship between the "main" character Jenny and the "off" Erich Kreuger is just strange, and hardly believable. It's hard to even pity Jenny for her situation. The idea of the story is a little spooky, I'll give her that, but it really didn't grab me. It's just another book that's easy enough to get through, but it's not so great.

Review Summary: A Cry In The Night, by Mary Higgins Clark
Review: A must read for everyone who likes a good mystery without all the gore and dirty words used to describe something. I always enjoy reading stories by Mary Higgins Clark. She is one of my favorite authors. This latest A Cry In The Night is one of her better ones. I will reread it later this year.
