Book Description from Goodreads:
A mysterious sound leads search-and-rescue worker Bree Matthews and her dog Samson to an abandoned baby in the woods outside Rock Harbor, Michigan. Bree takes the baby girl in and begins to search for the mother—presumably the woman reported missing just days earlier.

While teams scour the wintery forests, Bree ferrets out clues about the woman. Where is she and why did she leave the child behind? And how does that connect to Bree’s first husband’s mysterious death years ago in the Upper Peninsula? Everything Bree thought she knew about her life changes with the sound of a cry in the night.


My Review:
Cry in the Night is a Christian suspense novel. It's the fifth novel about Bree, and it spoiled some events from previous books. I'd recommend reading them in order.

The main characters were complex and generally reacted realistically to events. The author focused on personal problems for Bree to deal with. Her dead husband is back and a criminal--so who did they bury? Is her current marriage legal? And he wants his son, Davy, whom another bad guy wants to kill because the boy witnessed something. Bree's having trouble getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy while her husband is worried he may be laid off from his job. When searching for a woman, they find an unknown infant hidden nearby. Bree instantly falls in love with the baby and wants to adopt it even though others warn her that the legal parents will probably want it back. While there was some investigation into the identity of the baby, the suspense was focused on the danger to Davy and the turmoil in Bree's life.

Bree struggled with why God would let the current challenges happen to her. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this novel to fans of Bree who want to read every novel about her.
