Are You Afraid of the Dark? 
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.
Reviews
Are you afraid of the dark is one of Sidney's best "trashy" novels to date and I really enjoyed it.
You have two sparkling heroines Diane Stevens and Kelly Harris both married to scientists who are killed in mysterious circumstances and who find themselves running from a vicious hit man with a penchant for hurting people before he kills them.
Using their brains to outwit a mad billionaire with global domination on his mind, the girls find themselves struggling to stay alive as they flee bullets, traitors, and sadistic hit men with the odds totally stacked against them until finally they make the fateful decision to stand their ground and fight back in order to reclaim their lives.
You can't call this book a classic in any sense of the word, its pure escapism, pure trash and pure fun from page one onward.
I loved it, there are days that you need a read where you don't have to put your brain cells into overdrive and this book is one of those reads.
I can't give it more than three stars despite enjoying it so much simply because it is so trashy, but three out of five is not bad for a book that has to really come under the genre of great "brain rot" rather than an intellectual read of merit!
