Synopsis

Relentlessly probing the very edge of the human psyche as only he can, psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Stephen White ratchets up the thrills in BLINDED, a novel of psychological suspense – his most compelling and powerful yet. Gibbs Storey is a woman no man can resist. When her comfortable life is shattered by the man she thought it was safe to give her heart to, the nightmare has only just begun. Psychologist Alan Gregory is used to dealing with nightmares. But a brutal, shocking confession locks him into darkness – and forces him to choose between saving himself and saving those who will otherwise end their days pleading for mercy at the hands of a vicious serial killer. What Alan can’t see is that either choice might cost him his life... In riveting, explosive scenes that have become his hallmark, Stephen White delivers an unsettling and gripping story that penetrates to the heart of terror and transfixes listeners like no one else can.

What I love about Stephen Whites writing is how perfectly he balances the narrative. In Blinded he is at his absolute best, and Dick Hill as a reader brings this story to life. We have 2 narrators, which is interesting and novel: Alan Gregory, the guy were all used to as the storyteller, if weve read much of this series, and Sam Purdy, Alans best friend, a Boulder cop, who suffers both a heart attack and a longawaited split from his spouse Sheri in this book. The delicacy with which Stephen White handles both the narrative and tale make this book riveting.Besides that, its a **** good mystery. I confess I didnt figure out the real antagonist until about the time Sam hit Indiana. I love the way that Stephen White uses his 2 main characters masculinity to shroud the real killers identity.I also loved the literary device that White used in this book to develop the character of our chief antagonist, Sterling Storey. We dont meet him until the very end of the book, but along the way we develop a fully functional idea of who this man is. Its a fascinating process.And of course, who can resist the wonderful witticisms of Sam, who lusts after women one moment and a slowroasted turducken the next. The way that White weaves the Thanksgiving holiday into this story is truly masterful.My favorite quote a Samwitticism, he really should have a Facebook page!: Secrets are like puppies once they get out, theyre hard to control.And about the reader: Allinall, one of my favorite of Dick Hill listens. He carries these characters so convincingly from one novel to the next that I recognize each voice without even thinking about it. I have listened to Dick Hill reading Alan Gregory and Sam Purdy now for so many hours that they are real people. Strangely enough, his voice is so different for the characters in this book from, say, his readings of Reacher or even his Deep South novels. I am completely in awe of the talent of Dick Hill. He never disappoints.
