Jenny McPartland is a single mother with two little girls, living in New York City, and working in an art gallery when a handsome rich young artist sweeps her off her feet, marries her, and takes her off to Minnesota. He wines and dines her, is perfect with her daughters, and is just the perfect man, so different from her ex.However, there are forebodings of cracks in his armor. He is hostile to her ex-husband, and possessive of her. And once they get to his home in Minnesota, things quickly become sinister. He isolates her from her friends and the community and wages psychological warfare on her.
I found myself really disliking this woman; she was stupid and gullible, all the things I get impatient with women for being. However, the story becomes very suspenseful, as all Higgins stories do.
