Are You Afraid of the Dark?

De: Sidney Sheldon

Narrado por: Kit Flanagan

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 from 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 Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG, assures them that he is using every resource to solve 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 close escapes. Who is trying to kill them and why?

Forced together for protection, and suspicious of each other and everyone around them, 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, the long-awaited Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at the top of his game.

Excelente trabalho

Gostei do fluxo das ideias e das personalidades envolvidas - o autor soube envolver o histórico das pessoas com os fatos

Another good one

I always look forward to Sheldon's new books and this was no exception. I found it to be very good but a little more perdictable than some of his previous works. Definitely worth a listen!

For the Sheldon Fan

I have been reading Sheldon off and on since I was in my teens. I found his books, full of travel and facinating. However, I was some what disappointed with this title. I found it trite, cliche, and the ending very uneventful. If you are a Sheldon fan this is a lite, quick read to keep your mind occupied. Unfortunately, this title will not bring in new Sheldon fans.

Good narration, mediocre book

Mediocre story that starts off well but then becomes too predictable and silly.

The narrator did a great job with the voices and accents so the experience was still enjoyable.

I am a Sheldon Fan

This was his last novel so not as long nor as detailed as his early works. But for younger readers this is more to the point. All the Sheldon twists and turns are there. Surprise villains and such. At the heart is weaponizing the weather. Fiction right? Then on the postscript he lists all the real life documented events of weather weaponization since the 1960s. To include UN treaties to make the US stop. Hmmmmm. Worth the read!
