Whitney
Garrison is a law student who is studying for the bar exam, coaching kids for
their SAT / ACT test and working in a coffee shop to survive and pay her
college debt until she passes the exam and secures a job with a prestigious law
firm. To make matters worse she is
trying to avoid her ex-boyfriend, a congressman’s son and rich elite who she
has a restraining order against. Someone
is murdered in the alley by the coffeeshop right as she is clocking out to go
to her tutoring gig. The problem is
Whitney is face blind. Her mind doesn’t
map the faces of individuals so she doesn’t recognize anyone by their face only
by their other features and manner of dress and their hair. She is therefore unable to describe the
shooter or recognize the victim.
Detective Leo Baroni is on the case and once he finds out about her face
blindness he is determined to look out for her and keep her safe. There is a killer on the loose and a stalking
ex-boyfriend and she is definitely in danger.
I
loved how this played out and I learned a lot about the issue of face
blindness. This is full of Chinese espionage,
corrupt government officials and partner abuse.
All of it is intermingled and makes for a very good story that keeps you
guessing. I definitely had to stay up
till I finished it in the wee hours.
I have
voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from
NetGalley. All views expressed are only
my honest opinion.
