The characters were interesting enough that I began to care about what happened to them. The premise being that a blind woman, when touching the body of a deceased person can see the last 18 seconds of their lives. Needless to say she is much in demand by loved ones left behind as well as police agencies. No one seems to understand the toll it takes on her personally. A good read. ( ) Thirty years ago Earl Sykes landed in prison after a traffic accident that turned deadly. Now he has cancer and only a short time to live and he's planning to get his revenge. He returns to his previous MO, kidnapping young women and killing them. Kelly O'Shaughnessy, a police lieutenant needs help. They can't find the bodies of missing women, Sherry Moore is blind but she can see the deceased last eighteen seconds. This helps her find whats going on and can help the police. However Earl has nothing to lose. It's okay, not great, shows some potential but it's trying very hard to be a lot of things and failing to be many of them. The personification of Earl was compelling and quite realistic but the other characters were quite paper thin. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheSherry Moore (1) Auszeichnungen
Sherry Moore, a beautiful, blind psychic, has the extraordinary ability to 'see' the last eighteen seconds of a murder victim's life by touching the corpse. She uses her gift to help others solve mysteries only she can tap into. Serial killer Earl Sykes never got caught for his vicious murders. Instead, it was a deadly auto accident that landed him in prison. Now, years later, he is free and hungry for revenge. Setting his sights on Lieutenant Kelly O'Shaunisy, the daughter of his captor, he returns to his seaside hometown of Wildwood, New Jersey -- and to his gruesome, murderous ways. When Lieutenant O'Shaunisy begins to investigate the disappearance of young women from desolate areas of the boardwalk, she encounters frustrating dead-end clues and more deaths. Her desperation leads her to accept Sherry's help, but not without consequences. Together, the two women set out to discover the identity of the killer and become entangled in a dangerous web that could cost them their lives. With two memorable heroines, pulse-pounding suspense, and twists that will keep readers guessing until the last pages, 18 Seconds introduces a powerful writing talent to the suspense scene.
