Kurzbeschreibung
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.
Synopsis
Divorcee Jenny McPartland, mother of two girls, marries the handsome and elegant painter, Erich Krueger, and moves to his home in Minnesota, where she and her daughters are drawn into a world of grotesque terror.

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.

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.

After finishing the incredibly stale LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART, I was about ready to give up on Mary Higgins Clark. If you're someone who, like me, was beginning to wonder what all the Clark hoopla was about, run out quick and get a copy of A CRY IN THE NIGHT, which can be described as a sort of modern cross between PSYCHO and REBECCA. This is a very well-done book, and it succeeds on many levels.
Jenny MacPartland is a divorced mother of two who is swept off her feet by Erich Krueger, a kind, handsome artist who marries her and takes her back to his sprawling farm in Minnesota. Not long after she arrives, she begins to sense tension in the air. Erich begins to behave strangely. Her ex-husband, Kevin, comes down to visit her, stirring up trouble. The whole place is overshadowed by the strange presence of Caroline, Erich's long-dead mother, to whom Jenny bears a striking resemblance. Soon Jenny begins to have dizzy spells and wonders if she is sleepwalking during the night. What began as a dream for both the protagonist and the reader has transformed into a horrific nightmare.
Clark handles this transformation with considerable deftness, demonstrating her masterful control of pace and characterization. The plot is especially convoluted and intricate; in fact, there are as many surprising twists as there are pages. Unlike LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART and WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?, in which the terror kicks in only in the last few chapters or so, A CRY IN THE NIGHT turns on the suspense less than halfway through the novel and never lets up the pressure. This is an unusually chilling book, but aside from all the suspenseful pleasures of the story, it is also a very sad and emotionally involving drama. There is no pat resolution or happy ending here, but the denouement, if bittersweet, is wholly satisfying. This reader is, I'm happy to report, an officially converted Clark fan.
