Afraid of the Dark

By: Tom Henderson

Narrated by: Paul Michael Garcia

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.

Afraid of the dark

I really hated this and wanted it to bee over. it was so dry during the courtroom scenes.

Too much

I found that that gave too much information was given on everyone in the book.

Kept me interested from start to finish!

Very interesting book. I wish I had been on the jury!! Even if you think you know this story, you still need to read this book.

Great story, but left me angry!

I had never heard of this story before, but thoroughly enjoyed it. About halfway through I just assumed he would be found innocent. If he did it or not, who knows, but there was MORE THAN ENOUGH reasonable doubt to let him walk. That opinion was only solidified after hearing the note that was written to the prosecution by the jury foreman! If that doesn't induce anger in a bystander, I don't know what will.
