This is one of those books you like to read when you want to escape reality. The plot is hard to belief it is so outrageous. Yet it gives you a level of excitement that lets you escape reality.

OK - I have never read a Sidney Sheldon book before, so I didn't really know what to expect. This book is OK - I liked it. I read this book in one day - very quick read. Was unable to put it down. It's about two widows who are working together to find out who killed their husbands. The run into some amazing, never ending luck while they work together to figure it all out.

Great story. But the characters personalities and conversations were a bit far fetched which kept bringing me back and reminding me that I'm reading a book. Everyone seems to stutter! It is a page turner.

I did not put this down until I finished it. This is pure non-stop entertainment and should be judged as just that. Yes, the plot gets a little silly, but it's highly enjoyable.
Yes, the two women manage to stay ahead of the killers at every turn, but they are so likable you can overlook how unrealistic it is. Yes, they manage to thwart the attacks on their lifes throughout the whole story, but it keeps the pages turning. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's filled with action, murder and several surprises. I can describe this novel only one way, international intrigue filled Gucci and Prada.
Sidney Sheldon has been one of my favorite authors for years and his long awaited new novel is the proof as to why; the man wrote books that simply can't be put down. When you finsih them you close them with a small sigh or a phew!
Are You Afraid Of The Dark is bit of a thriller filled with twists and surprises. I miss Sidney Sheldon's books.

Great book! This was a first for me by this author and I loved it!
This was my first Sidney Sheldon book and I loved it. It was very fast-paced! I could not put it down and I wanted all my friends to read it. This one reminds me of the action and excitement in the DaVinci Code. Will keep you guessing. I'm only parting with it because I have too many books to read!

In four cities across the world, four people die violently and mysteriously. The dead share a single crucial link: each was connected to an all-powerful environmental think tank. Two of the victims' widows -- accomplished artist Diane Stevens and international supermodel Kelly Harris -- may hold the key to their husbands' demise. Terrified for their lives, suspicious of each other, and armed only with their own wits and guile, they must join forces in a nightmare cycle of hunt-and-kill. At stake is the shattering truth about the tragedies that robbed them of the men they loved ... and about an awesome conspiracy whose ultimate target is as big as the earth and as close as the air we breathe.

It was ok. Read once.
Well, typical Sheldon, a pager turner. Two problems though...again, typical Sheldon...ENOUGH W/THE WORD DARLING! Ugh, really?? And come on, if your husband is killed by his boss are you really dumb enough to trust ANYONE in the company? STOP calling other employees when the boss is out to kill you!!!
O.K., it was a good read all in all.

This is another solid book by Sheldon. If you have enjoyed his earlier books than you will certanly enjoy this one.
I'd forgotten how much I like Sidney Sheldon...his books are fast-paced, suspenseful and interesting and this book is right up there with his best. Loosely based on fact, it shows how weather control technology can be used for evil, rather than to help our planet. A little scary!
Typical Sheldon... Cant put it down
Sidney Sheldon's last fiction book. A real page turner filled with action and suspense. I couldn't put it down.
A mystery told as only Sidney Sheldon could do it. A New york Times best-seller.
Another great Sheldon book.
A Sheldon novel is a suspenceful read that you just can't put down.

Sidney Sheldon is one of my favorite authors and he didn't let me down on this one!
I truly enjoyed this book because the two star core characters had to use their wit to stay alive. It gave them a chance to bond. One a Model and the other, a painter, kept the killers off balance thoughout the book.

After a series of mysterious deaths of Kingsley International Group employees, two of the employees' widows try to figure out whether their husbands' deaths were accidents or murder. As they begin to uncover the secrets behind the huge think tank their husbands worked for, they find themselves pursued by a ruthless killer.
"Are You Afraid of the Dark" is standard Sidney Sheldon fare: gorgeous, glamorous, and feisty heroines, plenty of chases and narrow escapes, and an international setting. You won't find a sophisticated story here; just lots of fast-paced action and a few plot twists. All in all it's a light and entertaining read that will draw you in from the first page.
