In The Dark by Brian Freeman

Interestingly Freeman’s fourth novel has two titles: In The Dark for the U.S version and The Watcher for the U.K. version. Personally I prefer the U.S. title…more mysterious.  This fourth novel in the Jonathan Stride series continues  intertwining an unsolved mystery from his high school years with a current  peeping Tom case he is trying to solve.  I actually managed to figure out the older murder before the killer was revealed but still  surprised by some of the various details that unfolded. Enjoyable as always but I couldn’t help thinking Stride sure has a lot secrets in his closet as well as his friends and just about anyone he meets.  Not sure I’d want to live in the same town with him.
