opinions expressed here are my own.
This was an excellent book.
I was intrigued by the idea that a blind person would be the one to step
up to try to solve a crime. When Gloria
Rank interviewed Benjamin Taylor on her morning radio talk show she had no idea
she would need his help. Benjamin Taylor
was an expert on identity theft. Gloria’s
younger sister Anna is a victim of identity theft. That isn’t the only problem she has. A body
has been dumped on Anna’s doorstep ad she has become the prime suspect. It will be up to her and he sister to find
out what is actually going on.
The reason this story intrigued me was because Gloria sets
out to help those who are trying to solve this crime learn to use their other
senses. I was right there with her. I
had to agree with her character that we don’t utilize our other senses. About five years ago I had some severe eye
problems and was actually losing my sight.
Thankfully several surgeries later and most of it has been
restored. The thing is, I had to learn
to rely on my other senses. I’m a
teacher. I used my hand to guide me down
the hallway because it was so blurry. I
could no longer make out the faces of my students so I had to learn the sound
of their voice, their walk, or their cologne. When you can’t see what you are eating on your
plate you learn to utilize your smell to find your food.
This was a great approach to writing this story. It was
unique and kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I would highly recommend this book to those
who love mystery and intrigue.
