Prepare yourself for a top-notch thriller. Charlotte Hughes grabs the reader on page 1 with, "I was 15 the night Daryl Buckmeyer died." Emily Wilkop witnessed Daryl's murder and the memory haunts her for years. Now 30 and responsible for her late sister's emotionally troubled daughter, Emily finds the fear of that night rushing back at her. Someone is after her and no one will listen, not even the former Chicago cop who recently moved to town. Hughes' talent leaves you impatiently waiting for her next book.

Please reprint! This was my favorite book by Charlotte Hughes! I read it while I was supposed to be working, hoping my boss woudln't come by. I stayed up half the night. Emily is one of my favorite characters! I also loaned this book to 2 friends before trading it in at a local used bookstore.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read yet, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: And After That, the Dark (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first book by Charlotte Hughes and it won't be my last. This is truly one of the best romantic suspense stories I've read so far. I do have to admit that while at work I tried to read while my boss wasn't looking, wished I could read while I was driving home and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning just to finish this book! I loved it!
