A CRY IN THE NIGHT is a story about a divorced mother of two, Jenny MacPartland, who meets a man she thinks is the answer to her dreams. This artist seems like he's everything a woman could ever want, and the strangest part to Jenny is that he's in love with her! It seems too good to be true, and with a mystery of this caliber, it definitely is! Her life becomes of whirlwind of events -- they marry within a month of meeting, move to a Minnesota farm (the quiet is something Jenny's not used to and she becomes lonely and scared especially at night). All of this begins to wear on her and she begins to fear that she's losing her mind. Slowly Jenny learns of her new husband's past, which is more terrifying than she could even imagine. These secrets can lead to the end of her marriage, but worse, it puts not only her life in danger, but also the lives of her two children.

A CRY IN THE NIGHT has a great plot and could be summed up as a mother's worse nightmare come true. This book showcases why Mary Higgins Clark is one of America's best mystery writers of all time. This suspenseful tale will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing about what will happen next makes this one of my favorites.
