Austin Ward, thinks she's learned to live with her fear of the dark. She's put the past behind her and there's even a new man in her life. But when people she cares about are brutally murdered Austin realizes she can no longer pretend. To find the truth behind the deaths she must face and overcome her fear. But who is the killer? Is it someone out to get her? Has a serial killer come to her small Pacific Northwest town? Or, has something sinister followed her from childhood, something she met once before...in the dark? Needing help to overcome the panic attacks that leave her unconscious, she starts seeing a not unattractive therapist. Her search for healing is sidetracked, however, when she realizes that each time she has an attack someone close to her is killed. As the body count rises, Austin is driven to find the killer, but where should she begin her search? Is someone seeking revenge? Has a serial killer come to her quiet Pacific Northwest town? Or, has something sinister followed her from childhood—something she met once before—in the dark?

    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2012

    What if you found yourself locked into a bomb shelter in the pitch blackness with no way of escape at the age of six? Crazy ideas spill through your mind and threaten to eat at every ounce of your sanity. Nineteen years later, Austin Ward while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy fought against her fearful mind as it threatened to bury her alive in the darkness. Each time the lights go out, you think you are another step closer to the truth only to have P.J. Cowan yank you down another dark alley. SOMETHING IN THE DARK is an excellent psychological thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. I do not want to say more as the true thrill of the story is Ms. Cowan keeping the reader in the dark. Psychological thrill seekers should find this novel one big roller-coaster of unexpected twists, turns, and loops.

    This was truly a page turner. I read this in a matter of hours. The ending was such a great surprise and although I had made a decision at the beginning, I was not surprised that I was right, but not entirely! Wonderful, nail-biting moments. Hope I can find another as good.

    This is an excellent psycho-thriller. The whole time I was trying to figure out "who done it" and just when I'd make up my mind, the author would throw a wrench at me. There's enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not too many to lose your interest.

    This is an author that will stay in my radar for a long time. Recommended read.

    I met the author at a local festival and promised her I would write a review. Something in the Dark does keep you guessing to "who done it". Well written, P.J. A good read.

    I was intrigued by this novel from the very start. Just read it. The cover leads me to believe that there will be other stories set in this fictitious county. I look forward to reading them.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very slow and hard to get into
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I'm not sure where all these four and five star reviews came from - did we read the same book? A mystery needs to start fast, grab the reader by the throat and never let go. I read the first three chapters and basically, nothing happened. Way, way, WAY too much detail! I really do not care how she divided up the town for work nor how lawn equipment functions. The beginning was....boring! You know what Alfred Hitchcock said about drama - it's like real life with all the boring parts left out. P.J. please if you decide to write another mystery - leave all the details OUT! P.J. can use her initials all she wants but I knew immediately this book was written by a woman.

    Could have been a good read but it dragged on and on. Far too much descriptive writing and Austin needed a slap with all the stupid decisions she made towards the end . I found this novel quite poor , only 2 stars from me :(
