Book Description:
All around the globe, people are being reported dead or missing.
In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eiffel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police soon discover that all four of the victims are connected to Kingsley International Group (KIG), the largest think tank in the world.
Kelly Harris and Diane Stevens -- young widows of two of the victims -- encounter each other in New York, where they have been asked to meet with Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG. He assures them that he is using all available resources to find out who is behind the mysterious deaths of their husbands. But he may be too late. Someone is intent on murdering both women, and they suffer a harrowing series of near escapes. Who is trying to kill them and why?
Forced together for protection, suspicious of each other and everyone around them, and trying to find answers for themselves, the two widows embark on a terrifying game of cat and mouse against the unknown forces out to destroy them.
Taut with suspense and vivid characterization, full of shocking twists, and with an unnervingly realistic premise that could alter all of our lives, the long-awaited Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at the top of his game.

vanishing people, murders, buildings blowing up and two women thrown together after their husbands are killed. Lots of intrigue. I could not put this book down

I liked this book because it wasn't your everyday mystery. The reasoning behind the disappearances was something a bit different.
There were a few things I didn’t like about the book. One being that I was about to put it down when it really started getting interesting. I was close to 100 pages through it; however, towards the end there are a lot of nice twists and turns. Another think I didn’t like about this book is how often the word eclectic was used. This isn’t an every day word, especially in a murder mystery, so it jumped out of the pages a bit more than another word might have. It turned out to be a pretty good book, but not one that I would enjoy reading again and again. All in all I would give it a 3 -3 ½.

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.

I was in a book club and never got a chance to read all my books, including this one.
This book is missing it's dustjacket, but is in otherwise great condition. Sorry, but I have two small children, and sometimes dust jackets get lost.
