Book Overview
In a "wonderfully crafted" supernatural thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Art Forger, a forensic psychologist fights for her child (Robert B. Parker). Blind Spot is a supernatural thriller set in an upscale suburb of Boston. It opens as forensic psychologist Suki Jacobs--a single mother struggling with a big mortgage and an ex-husband in New Zealand--receives a phone call from the police informing her that her seventeen-year-old daughter, Alexa, is at the station, claiming that her ex-boyfriend, Jonah, has been murdered. Upon further investigation, Jonah is found alive, healthy, and playing basketball. But when Jonah is killed in a drive-by shooting the next day, Alexa becomes the prime suspect. Now Suki is plunged into a fight for her daughter's life as well as a struggle over what is--and isn't--possible. This story of a mother-daughter relationship caught in the crossfire of modern life, kids with too much knowledge of the world, and adults with too little, is a vision of all that is possible if we are willing to take off our blinders.

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 is a compelling read.

The complex web that Barbara Shapiro weaves keeps readers guessing from start to finish. Alexa Jacob's dilemma twists and turns, keeping Suki, Alexa's mother, in a constant state of turmoil. Once you start reading Blind Spot you won't be able to stop.
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.
Fast-paced, rivetting: I couldn't putit down
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Blind Spot is a great combination of a fast-paced suspensful plot with an almost as suspenseful exploration of a mother struggling with the reality of her teenage daughter's life. This is a perfect book for the beach or airplane for the person who likes character and relationships mixed in with a fast-moivng plot. I really liked it a lot.
