Everywhere to Hide by Siri Mitchell

 




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.
