Exciting thriller with a dash of ESP thrown in

There are two murders here and two different suspects, but they both have something in common. One is in prison awaiting a re-trial on possible insanity plea - she claims a ghost committed the murder. The other is a forensic psychologist's daughter who's suspected of killing her ex-boyfriend. Suki Jacobs, the forensic psychologist, is trying to determine the sanity of the first murderer (Lindsey Kern) while trying to exonerate her daughter as a suspect in the second murderer. Both suspects seem to have ESP which does not help their cases at all! Overall, a good read with some mother-daughter dynamics thrown in.

Blind Spot Isn't That Great!

I found this novel in a local bookseller. I have never heard of Barbara Shapiro, so I gave her try and I really didn't care for the novel at all. It started out weird and the ending ended in a strange way. The author talked about psychic experiences and different weird things that were kind of interesting but this book did not have a solid plot. Also it kind of tells you things about this author when she has NO books in print. They all went out of print, probably because of lack of popularity and interest. Sorry Barbara!


Moving family drama embedded in gripping suspense.

I've read all of Shapiro's novels, and _Blind Spot_ is far and away her best. There are few writers who can seamlessly combine family drama, mystery, suspense, and the paranormal. Shapiro is one of them. She hammers you with danger and plot turns, but never lets you forget this is fundamentally a story of a mother-daughter relationship in crisis. For her fans (there must be thousands of us), the reappearance of Lindsey Kern from _Shattered Echoes_ is a treat. Highly recommended.

"A terrific, terrifying, ripping read'this is a thriller you won't put down. Shapiro is the new queen of suspense."
--Deborah Crombie, author of Dreaming of the Bones

With two college-bound teenagers and a pile of past-due bills, Suki Jacobs finally has the case that could make her career as a forensic psychologist: evaluating the sanity of Lindsey Kern, a convicted murderer claiming to be innocent'and clairvoyant. Awaiting a new trial, Suki's professional judgment could free Lindsey'who insists the real killer was a ghost'or find her criminally insane for life.

This complex case soon takes an eerie similarity in Suki's own life when her 17-year-old daughter, Alexa, has a premonition that her ex-boyfriend is dead. The very next day the boy is murdered'and Alexa becomes the main suspect. Desperate to prove her daughter's innocence, Suki will turn everywhere for answers except to Lindsey, the one woman whose own haunted past and psychic insights might save Alexa. Can Suki go beyond the boundaries of her own reality to see the truth ... before it's too late?

"Put Blind Spot at the top of your nighttime reading list, though I have a feeling you'll be keeping the bedroom light on long after you close the covers of this book."
--Jeremiah Healy, author of The Only Good Lawyer and Invasion of Privacy
