Within a month they are married and Jenny and her two young daughters move to Erich’s Minnesota farm/mansion. Once there, there are lots of strange happenings, Jenny begins to question how much she really knows her husband, and she also begins to doubt her own sanity. This was such a good and suspenseful story. Filled with suspicious characters and a creepy atmosphere this story kept me entertained throughout. A Cry in the Night is a suspenseful thriller about Jenny, a divorced woman raising two young girls on her own. Her X is a deadbeat and life is hard. Then she falls for Erich Krueger, a handsome, rich artist, who sounds too good to be true, and guess what? He is. However, against all of her friends and colleagues' warnings, she marries him within two months and moves to his remote estate in Minnesota. Even though Jenny is not strong-willed, shouldn't her husband's obsession with the fact she looks just like his dead mother, Caroline, raise a red flag? Especially when he insists she wear Caroline's nightgown to bed? Ew! As things go south for Jenny, the author's smooth writing style and her ability to create colorful characters keep the plot moving. Although the theme was predictable and unrealistic, I was entertained and had to keep turning pages to find out just what happens to Erich, the monster. I read this one when it was first released (in 2000?) and remembered it as well worth a re-read when it was for sale on Kindle. It's still very suspenseful, but definitely dated. Probably the reason I can't stand Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, I'm irritated that the main character doesn't grow a backbone. Sorry - guess I prefer my female characters stronger and less like victims... good Thriller - Jenny MacPartland moves to Erich (painter) Minn. farm When Jenny MacPartland meets the man of her dreams while working in a New York art gallery, she's ecstatic.
