When a young woman is found murdered in a public park, it is up to RPD detective Lt. Tom Lackey to locate her killer. With the help of his longtime girlfriend and professional photographer, Kathy Spencer, Lackey unravels a mystery laden with psychosis and unexpected revelations. While Tom is busy following the multiple clues pouring in from different directions, Kathy gets to work to prove her own theory: The last image viewed by the dying person can be lifted from the eyes of the victim to identify the murderer. Using her background in photography and her passion for iridology, Kathy enlists the help of Dr. Greer, a snow-haired medical examiner who allows her to take shots of Tracey Newman’s eyes. Her findings are puzzling, but they are supported by Alexis Howard, the dead girl’s ten-year-old half sister who volunteers information she claims was delivered to her by her imaginary friend Lily. With multiple suspects floating up to the surface and skeletons yanked out of unlikely closets, Tom must rely on his methodical expertise and on Kathy’s insight to find the killer before tragedy strikes again.

PROUD SUPPORTER OF FOOD-AID.ORG: 10% of net sales from Killer in Sight will benefit Food-Aid.org, an organization whose aim is to fight world hunger and provide relief to disaster-stricken areas.

Great Read

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 24 giugno 2012

Acquisto verificato

From the first page, this novel caught my attention and then kept my attention. I did not want to put it down. I read a lot of murdery mysteries and this one had a little bit of everything. I felt like I got to know the characters and my emotions would go up and down with theirs. Even the relatively "minor" characters were fleshed out well. A few times towards the end, I found tears in my eyes and my heart hurt (I won't tell you why and spoil the book, read it!) but it had a great ending. I loved reading something set in my home state with familiar places that I could easily bring to a mental pictures. One of my favorite characters was an old landlord. I swear she could have been my Granny's neighbor that I loved early, her personality! I expected her to go get her "toddy", though she never did. The actual perpetrators of the crime were a surprise to me. I'd never have guessed that, and to me that's a mark of a good murdery mystery, one that leaves you guessing.

This is a great book but a relatively new author. I highly recommend it and I can't wait for the next book to come out and see what happens to Tom, what sort of decisions he makes.

Couldn't finish it

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 ottobre 2012

Acquisto verificato

I'm the first reviewer on the UK site so have given an extra star due to the fact I have only read 10% and my review may be unfair.

There are many reviews on the .com site, many 4 or 5 stars so maybe if you stick with it, it gets better.

Why did I get it? It was free and it sounded great - exactly the kind of thriller I like - and it had good reviews.

Why did I give up on it? Incredibly clunky/stilted dialogue - people just don't talk like that. It was reminiscent of a 10 year old's writing. It's apparent from the beginning, so if you download the sample and aren't put off by it, then you may well enjoy the book. I'm a fast reader, and clunky dialogue in particular throws me off my rhythm and slows me down.

I have since found out that English is not the author's first language, so maybe I'm being unfair. She would be better getting a good editor so the language doesn't get in the way of a good story.

To give some perspective, I'm not someone who's usually quick to give up on books, but nor am I one who sticks with it no matter what. Since becoming a kindle owner, I have read so many excellent freebies that I'm becoming less inclined to carry on with one that hasn't grabbed me. I download around 10 a week and read around 3 - so I have to be a bit more strict if I'm going to have time to discover the great ones!

Lots to sort through

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 ottobre 2019

Acquisto verificato

It was interesting sorting through the many story lines that happen throughout - such as the relationship developed with the victim's half sister, and how her "imaginary" friend turns out to be family also, the mentally unstable roommate who you love to hate. There were a lot of possible perpetrators to sort through, too many perhaps, but otherwise an interesting read. It's usually not fair for the killer to not be introduced much earlier in the story, so it can't really be considered a "who-done-it."

Couldn't finish

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 22 febbraio 2014

I thought the first chapter started off great and I was excited to see what was coming. Within the next few pages I was completely put off. The dialogue between the characters just didn't read like a real conversation. .. I tried to persist but couldn't finish more than 2 or 4 chapters. Shame because I liked the concept.

Just average, with some problems

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 ottobre 2012

Acquisto verificato

I finally decided to give this book 3 stars instead of 2, because the author is Italian and English is her second language (and a difficult language to learn). There were a number of problems with the book. I really loved the concept, but there were grammar and vocabulary issues. The author uses the word "glimpse" erroneously quite a few times in the book. For example, he glimpsed at a sheet of paper. I think she meant to use "glance." A few other words were used incorrectly as well, but I forgot to write them down. When I first began the book I thought the author did not know how to use contractions. Then a few popped up, and I realized that the author was contracting the words "don't," "can't," and "you're," but never contracting anything using the word will, such as "I'll," "he'll," etc. This made a lot of the conversations sound very stilted. There were several places where the wrong character name is used, and places where two characters go to do something, but only one of them shows up. At the end of the book there's even a spot where everyone sits down to dinner, and suddenly two other characters are there and the scene has changed to a graveyard.

Overall, I liked the the concept and even the characters. There are a lot of twists and turns. But I had difficulty reading this book because of the stilted language, grammar issues, and choppy scenes. Some of the formatting was off, but that's more of a Kindle issue than a book issue. This is another e-book that seems as if it had no editor. If there was an editor, they should be slapped for letting this book get through with that many errors. I read a lot of free e-books, and most of them are NOT self-published. I really wonder who is editing books these days.

Another reviewer wondered about the authenticity of many of the 5 star reviews. I have to agree with him. Many of the reviews are so laudatory and extremely well written. I would say they are much better written than the actual book itself.
