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.

"Reality is at the edges of your awareness, you just need to let yourself turn sideways a bit to see it."

After reading "The Art Forger" and "The Muralist" I wanted to read some earlier novels by this author. The writing style in "Blind Spot" is totally different and I would have never guessed that it was written by B.A. Shapiro. That said, it was a riveting read from cover-to-cover. I was unaware of the role of a forensic psychologist and that alone was eye-opening. I highly recommend this novel not only to those with an interest in the paranormal but it's a great introduction to all who have questions and are open to expanding their own universe of thinking.
