Publisher's Summary

How can you catch what you can't see?

Blind at birth, Alice Bergman's sight has been restored - but her childhood struggles and the assault she endured have never been forgotten. For the last 10 years, she's been secretly receiving letters from her attacker - letters written in Braille. 

Now a homicide detective, Alice is assigned a murder case. The victim? A blind girl. The scene is preternaturally clean, far more than can be explained in any rational way. Alice is able to relive the girl's last moments - but she can't see the girl's killer. 

That doesn't matter, though. Alice knows the killer is the same person who attacked her as a teen. 

When another girl is murdered, Alice herself becomes a suspect due to grisly evidence at the murder scene. When the stress of the case and the trauma of her past combine to bring on the same blindness she faced as a child, Alice must struggle in the dark to catch the killer and regain her sight before the Braille Killer strikes again - this time, much closer to home. 

A dark and gritty beginning to a new and thrilling series. Listen to the first Alice Bergman novel today!

Unique, expertly written and captivating thriller

Alice, born blind but with regained sight, is a detective searching for a provocative serial killer that taunts her with poetic notes. She has her own past traumas haunting her, and tries to hide them from her boyfriend and partner to avoid being seen as a victim. With the stress of the case getting to her, she loses her sight and, with some interesting secrets of her own, must find the killer before more people die. Wow! I was surprised how much i enjoyed this book! I was expecting a normal 'whodunnit' but the way the story was written was so much more. The scenes were so brilliantly described, almost as of the blind could see them (excuse the pun)! The characters were developed and created expertly throughout the story and i loved every moment of getting to know them. The plot was built up masterfully, unraveling at the perfect pace to progress the story and keep the listener entertained and intrigued throughout. There were twists embedded within the story making it unpredictable and fascinating. I loved the subtle inuendos to Alice in wonderland, the author has some real skill building this into a complex, deep and captivating story. It was a unique and brilliant thriller i would absolutely listen to again! TJ narrated very well. She was the perfect fit for the story and Alice. She had great intonation and energy and i thoroughly enjoyed her performance. I highly recommend this engrossing story. It was absolutely absorbing and i could not stop listening. It will keep you on your toes and without a doubt be a worthwhile listen. You will not regret hearing this story, do not regret not hearing it! PS if i could, i would have given this story more than 5 stars :) Note: This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this objective review voluntarily.

Intriguing

I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more of this series and would recommend it to others who like good paranormal mysteries!! The only thing I didn't like as much as the story was the narrator, she was ok but I've heard better. 😊 I received this audiobook free for an honest review.

Supernatural mystery

One of my favorite genres are detective led mysteries. But this is that plus some supernatural elements. Bottom line this is not a combo I like at all. I'm sure this book will end up being a series, at least that's how it ends - with more questions than answers. People that like these two genres being combined might like this book better than I did. As for the narration, I'm not sure this narrator was the right choice for this book. Her voice is too juvenile (young) sounding to add any realism for a cop.

Tense!

Well-written with lots of twists and turns! TJ Spehar did a great job bringing the characters to life. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
