2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this one!, Aug 14 2001

By	Todd E.Waters (Nor- Cal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cry In The Night (Mass Market Paperback)

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 na�ve. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Clark, Jun 14 2004

By	Colin (Out of town) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cry In The Night (Mass Market Paperback)

Here's how good this book is. I intended to just read a few chapters the other day, but ended up finishing the entire book in one night! It's a gripping well-told suspense story.

The main plot revolves around Jenny, a single mother of two, who enters a whirlwind romance with Erich Kruger, an artist, and ends up moving into his home with her children. But then Erich starts become more posessive and she notices his odd fixation on his mother, who died in an accident (or was it??).

Sure there was some deja vu for me in this book that made me immediately think of movies and books that have used similar plot twists (I won't say which or else it'll spoil the ending). But still this is a great book, but don't intend on putting it down once you start!
