Henderson Hits Another One Out of the Park...

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.
