Sherry Moore is blind, beautiful and has a gift. She can see the deceased's last 18 seconds by touching their hand. And she uses this gift to help police solve various crimes...
Very good debut novel by George Shuman. Several stories are intertwined here, nicely coming together at the end. The characters are all well out fleshed, not two dimensional as one sees in a lot of mysteries. You can really feel for Sherry, the blind woman who has ability to see the last 18 seconds of a person by holding their hand once they are deceased. She has this gift, is famous, helping the police solve several cased, but she has her own demons to live with. You can also not stop liking detective Kelly O'Shaughnessy, who tries to solve the cases of the missing women. And you also get glimpses of the killer's mind, understand what makes him tick, and not like it or him at all.
I found the book to be a roller-coaster and read it during the weekend. It was one of those books that you don't want to put down, but if you have to, you can't wait to pick up again to see what's going to happen next.
