Review: A CRY IN THE NIGHT by Mary Higgins Clark

 


** 2ND TIME REVIEW **

 

A rich, handsome man wanting to marry you and take care of your kids. Sounds like a dream come true, right?

 

Erich Krueger was too good to be true. Too good. Too perfect. There had to be something wrong with him, right? Well, for one thing, he was a tidy and strict perfectionist and would freak out at the slightest disarray. And another thing was that he married a woman that looked like his dead mother. How morbid!

 

It’s definitely slow at first with the girls settling to their new life with Erich Krueger. Eventually, we start to see a dark, scary side to Erich. Who just shoots a puppy? I wouldn’t be surprised if he killed his own mother.

 

Things pick up more when the body of Jenny’s ex is discovered and Jenny becomes a person of interest. What was really interesting was that Jenny didn’t seem to remember that night.

 

The story spans over months at a time so it takes a while in a roundabout way, but there is a mystery lurking deep down in the depths of these pages. Of course, we knew that Erich was crazy right from the start and that’s how it ended up playing out. I definitely called it. But now he took the kids.

 

A good read and worth a 2nd review!
