CW for just about everything: assault, brutality, gore, violence, sexual assault, stalking

Blindsighted follows Grant County local doctor and coroner Sara as she visits the local diner one afternoon and discovers the victim of a brutal murder in her last moments of life in the bathroom. As Sara and her ex-husband, the local Sheriff, look into the case, another woman goes missing and they realise they are on the case of a serial killer. As Sara struggles to deal with the brutality of the cases, and the memories they bring up of a traumatic moment in her past, she also needs to sort out her feelings for her ex as they work closely together again.

This book is jam-packed with action and a really intriguing crime trail as well as having a series of characters that are full of secrets and past paths that all twisted up with one another. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this series as I liked following the characters in this, and also liked the side characters we met who may have their own story in the future.

While this book is full of really traumatic and unpleasant scenes that are very hard to read, there is also a nice sprinkling of family moments and small town life, as well as a little bit of romance and chemistry.

I really enjoyed this book and felt very glued to the story. I think the trail of who the killer was became very obvious but this also heightened the tension of the story when no-one else knew yet, and I was reading in fear and trepidation for the safety of our main character as she interacted with the killer without realising. It gave a nice (yet heart palpitating) feeling to the story and added to the exhilaration of the crime plot.
