Book Synopsis:
She can’t see the killer
But the killer can see her…
Naomi Hannah has been blind since birth. Struggling with living in a small, claustrophobic town, Naomi contemplates ending her life. But then she stumbles across the body of a young woman who has been brutally murdered. She senses someone else there at the scene – watching her. Naomi may not be able to see the killer’s face, but she is still the only person who can identify him.
As the police begin hunting the person responsible and more victims are discovered, Naomi is forced to answer the question on which her fate hangs: why did the killer let her live?
In a town this small, the murderer must be close, perhaps even before her very eyes…

My Review:
I’d heard a lot of great things about this author so I was excited to be invited onto the blog tour for his latest book, Before Her Eyes. This is a fast paced, gripping and very gory thriller which I absolutely raced through. I have a young baby so sleep is precious, but after stupidly deciding to read just one more chapter I eventually looked up from the book to check the time and realised I’d been ready for three hours! It’s a very addictive book.
The story is told from the point of view of Naomi and Marcus a Detective in the local police force who is trying to discover the truth about what is happening. This makes for a very intriguing read as it soon becomes obvious that there are a lot of secrets that people are desperate to hide.
As mentioned above this is quite a gory book with the author describing the injuries of the victims quite vividly which did turn my stomach at times. There is also quite a creepy element to the story at times, especially when describing Naomi’s interactions with the killer which actually made me jump at times. This is definitely not a book to read when you are on your own in the house as every noise makes you start after reading.
This is quite a fast paced book with lots of action and intrigue which ensures that the reader keeps reading faster and faster as the story unfolds. I didn’t have any idea who the killer was or how this story was going to end which was great for me and really added to the fun of reading the book.
This is the first book by this author I have read and I am so excited to go back and read his previous books. If you like creepy, gripping and slightly gory thrillers then you’ll love this book!
Huge thanks to Kirsty from Corvus Books for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
