      This is one of my favorite books by Mary Higgins Clark. I could not put this book down. I have reread it at least every couple of years.
    • 3/5
      Jenny MacPartland is a young divorcee raising two small children in New York City. With an irresistable force born of money and seeming talent, Erich Krueger enters her life, persuades her to marry him, allow him to adopt her daughters and move to his family estate in Minnesota. Jenny quickly begins to realize that her new husband is disturbed and that she bears an remarkable resemblance to his dead mother, but the extent of his psychosis doesn't fully emerge until after the death of their infant son. Very readable and entirely enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      Jen thinks she's found the perfect man to take care of her and her girls. But is he?
    • 3/5
      This was my first MHC book and I have to say I was rather disappointed. I felt it was rather predictable and the main character rather stupid. It was obvious from the very beginning who the bad person was - why it wasn't for the main character, I don't know. It was rather suspenseful as to how they were going to get out of the difficult situation they found themselves in. I'll give MHC another chance as I have another book in my library waiting to be read. I hope that one intrigues me more.
