I have just finished reading this book ............... The book starts with the cops who find the dead bodies of various scientists. It tells us briefly about the lives of the two widows when they were married rather happily married. One widow being a high profile model the other being a girl next door kind of a person. This book is a story of the wives of two good scientist who escape death several times. The two lose their husband as they were murdered for being involved in a very high profile undercover project. The book describes how the two widows decide to find out the person involved in murdering their husband and in the process how do they escape death several times and finally whether did they die or not ? is a question which will be answered only after reading the book. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? is a pleasant and easy read. While the story has its flaws, it certainly held my interest and kept me reading to the very end.
