Dante's Wood: A Mark Angelotti Novel von Lynne Raimondo
This was the one about the guy who went blind; murder mystery at the New Horizons Center. Liked the characters; would be worth reading more in the series.
It is said that for blind people the rest of the senses are much more pointed, but is this the case with acquired blindness stemming from a genetic disease?
Dante's Forest is a great thriller, no doubt. I had fun reading it in my free time, and I took a project to finish it soon enough to get more books. The storyline is excellent, and the writing is great, the main character and the other minor characters arouse interest, suspicions - sympathy or anger and, overall, it has a great atmosphere.
The plot revolves around Mark D. Angelotti, a stinging psychiatrist whose behavior is controversial.
On his first day in the shelter where he works, Mark meets Charlie, a boy with retardation; For diagnosis and evaluation. Charley accused of murdering his nanny, and Mark is embarking on a blind spy campaign to remove the guilt from Cearley.
It is a thrilling book with a hero who copes with his handicap with his past and with his surroundings.

Dante's Poison by Lynne Raimondo is a highly recommended second mystery novel featuring Mark Angelotti.
Mark Angelotti, the troubled Chicago psychiatrist who first made his appearance in Dante's Woods, has recently been diagnosed with an illness that has caused blindness. After having trouble adjusting - or rather avoiding adjusting to his new situation, Mark enrolls in a drug trial that he hopes will help restore his sight. In the meantime Mark agrees to help his friend Hallie Sanchez investigate the murder of journalist Rory Gallagher, as well as join the defense of Jane Barrett, who is accused of the murder. Then, adding to the complications are the two teen suicides that may share some connection.
Dante's Poison is set in Chicago and the city is as much a part of the novel as the characters and sets a vibrant background to the main action. FYI: The major pharmaceutical companies take a hit in this plot. The plot is full of enough twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Raimondo is a strong writer who does an excellent job moving her plot forward quickly. For a mystery under 300 pages, she packs a lot of action into the pages. It's also noteworthy that Raimondo excels at capturing Mark's difficulties adjusting to his new disability, and his psychological expertise. She also shines in describing the legal system and the accompanying details.
It's nice to read a mystery that sets a fast pace and throws in plenty of surprises.

Always like reading novels that are set where I live or have lived. In this case Chicago, so many of the places I was very familiar wit. This is an exceptionally well written book, the character Mark Angelotti, a psychiatrist who is blind, a very interesting man, flawed with a history. Good story, good plot, good location, of course I am prejudiced, and an interesting first book in a new series.
