Summary
It was his first big murder case - and one of the bloodiest and most violent crimes LAPD detective Danny McGuire would ever encounter. Andrew Jakes, an elderly multimillionaire art dealer, had been brutally murdered in his Hollywood home, his lifeless body tied to his naked young wife. Raped and beaten, the lovely Angela Jakes had barely survived the attack herself. Gazing into her deep, soulful eyes, Danny swore that he'd find the psychopath behind this barbarous act. But the investigation didn't turn up a single solid lead, and within days of Angela's release from the hospital, the stunning young widow - Danny's only witness - had vanished.
For ten years Danny McGuire could not forget the sweet face of Angela Jakes and the terrible crime that had shattered her life; his obsession with her nearly cost him his sanity. Now in France, thousands of miles from the past - with a new life, a new job with Interpol, and a ravishing new wife - he's happier than he's ever been... until he meets Andrew Jakes's estranged son, Matt Daley.
Curious about his father's murder, Matt has been digging into the cold case—and made some shocking discoveries. Three killings nearly identical to his father's have taken place across the globe. The victims were elderly, newlywed millionaires, their young wives assaulted. And in each case the widow, the sole beneficiary of the will, donated her newfound wealth to children's charities and then vanished. Could it be true? Had the Jakes killer struck again? If so, Danny knows he must tread carefully or risk losing everything for good.
The evidence points to a single killer - a brilliant and ruthless criminal who travels across the globe under a string of assumed identities, cleverly keeping one step ahead of the law. Joining forces, Danny and Matt pursue this intriguing shadow from Los Angeles to London, New York to Italy and the French Riviera, in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse filled with promising leads and frustrating dead ends. When another murder fitting the profile occurs, Matt heads to Hong Kong, hoping to get answers from the latest widow, Lisa Baring, and perhaps uncover the hard evidence they need.
But Matt becomes besotted with the irresistible beauty, nearly derailing the investigation, and Danny wonders whether Lisa is truly a victim or something more sinister. When a break in the case sends Danny to Mumbai, he knows he must act quickly, for the clever killer is poised to strike again.
A fast-paced story full of mystery, glamour, excitement, and spectacular twists that build to a stunning ending, Sidney Sheldon's Angel of the Dark is quintessential Sheldon from first page to last.

Frustrating ending
I was really frustrated with the ending and would have preferred if the story stopped a couple of chapters beforehand. The narrator did a good job voicing the characters but a lot of the female voices tended to sound the same

Good read, disappointing end
A good read or listen. Quite a complex storyline to keep a track of but that also added to the suspense. I was a bit disappointed by the ending, without spoiling for others I’m sure it would have left many questions leading to further investigation. However that said I did enjoy it all overall and will look up other books by the writers.

Angel of the Dark
In an effort to retain the listener's interest, the story had many facets, which helped to maintain momentum. However, it became too convoluted, which somewhat detracted from a coherent tale.
All in all, a good listen.

Another Great Sidney Sheldon Book...!!
I've read a number of Tilly Bagshawe Sidney Sheldon books and whilst the plot is always relatively guessable, it's still really well written. Narration was good also, however some of the accents maybe need a bit of work, like the London and Australian ones, but those parts were only small, so didn't impact much... Great read/listen...

Awfull, tedious just bad
A terribly long winded book with a far fetched ridiculous story. Boring from start to finish, Thought it would never end. Disappointed even more to realize it wasn't written by Sidney Sheldon but rather in the style of SS. Bit of a con.
