Book Overview
Detroit mortgage broker Mark Unger adored his wife Florence and their two young sons. But after a decade of marriage and increasing financial trouble, Mark's life began to slowly unravel. He became addicted to pain killers and gambling, and ended up spending five months in rehab. Forced to go back to work, Flo became bitter and resentful of Mark and began to have an affair with one of his friends. When Mark returned home and his disability checks weren't enough to make ends meet Flo filed for divorce. Panicked by the thought losing her, Mark did everything he could to win Flo back. Even though she resisted his efforts, Flo did agree to a weekend getaway at the family's favorite lakeside resort. But after their first night there, Flo went missing...and the next day her corpse was found floating in the water. Mark claimed that her death was an accident--one that must have happened while he was up at the cottage, putting the kids to sleep. But soon a jury would be convinced of what Flo's friends and family believed to be true: That Flo would never have been alone on the boat dock that night because she was deathly AFRAID OF THE DARK .

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Ann Rule watch out!!! There is a new leader in true crime and his name is Tom Henderson. I just finished reading "Afraid of the Dark" and I have to say that it was Hendersons BEST book to date. I have read all of his books and will continue to read everything that this wonderful talent writes. If you are a fan of true crime, do yourself a favor and pick up all of Tom Hendersons books! You will not be disappointed!!!
Henderson delivers again.

I have been a fan of Tom Henderson for a long time. I just finished his second book, "Blood Justice", the week this one came out. I was so excited for its release, and was not disappointed. Henderson is a natural story-teller. The flow in his books are impeccable. Henderson has the ability to create such an electric flow in this book, you are unable to put it down. I have read every one of his books and loved them all, "Afraid of the Dark" is no exception. Although this particular story did not interest me as much as his past works, I think this may be his best work to date. Henderson tells this story from every angle and you actually can feel like you know how the involved parties felt. Henderson does such a great job of detailing the "characters" involved, the reader begins to feel as if they actually know them. Anyone who is a fan of true-crime novels should definitely pick up a copy of "Afraid of the Dark". You can also follow Henderson on [...], as we eagerly anticipate the release of his newest book; which I hear is due for release sometime in 2010.
Intense, well written... Henderson's best work.

This one, while hard to read because I knew and liked the victim, might just be Henderson's best work to date.
