It's the perfect place for so many things, he thinks as he puts on the gloves and reaches for her, enjoying her screams. But today, it's a perfect place to die. Be Very Afraid. . . Steerforth, Connecticut, was once an idyllic, sleepy New England town.

And when he's through, home will never be sweet again...… (lisätietoja)

" Don't Be Afraid" is a good mystery, set in a sedate town in Connecticut. The main character, Amy, is a single mother struggling with a sick daughter and a cheating husband. She takes on work as a real estate agent to make ends meet when a friend is brutally killed. More killings follow before events fall into place. I enjoyed this book, some of the bad language was a bit jarring at times, didn't always fit the tone of the novel. (

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It reminded me of many a past mystery where clues were dropped throughout the story, and I found myself keeping track of the page numbers on which various characters were first introduced and comparing aspects of their looks or personality to that of the killer, whose mind we got to see into in various chapters.

Of course, I knew it would end up being one of the characters previously introduced, but the author did real well keeping me on my toes with the red herrings, and though it came down to two characters that I considered the most likely suspect, I was thrown off when it turned out to be over the other. :P (Okay, I hope that didn't give too much away.) Suffice to say, I thought the author did a good job on the mystery part... not making it too easy right from the start, and also allowing us to look into the killer's mind, despite the story being written in third person.

Don't be Afraid is a formulaic serial killer mystery but its also a nice read. Good for airplanes. The story takes place in a small town in Conneticut not far from NYC. The central character is a single mother stuggling to make a home for her & her daughter as a real estate agent. Soon tradgedy strikes when her best friend and mentor is murdered and things kick off from there. Amy is a likeable heroine and the mystery isn't one that you can figure out within the first few chapters. Which is a rare thing these days. If you are looking for a nice quick mystery then I would recommend this one. (
