Blind Spots is a future dystopian detective thriller with engaging world building. This novel by Thomas Mullen hinges on a future in which everyone has become blind- but nobody is exactly sure why or how.

After an initial period of chaos and danger, a capitalistic company came on the scene with a potential solution. Vidders are devices that allow people to have their sight restored, but at a very high price. In this story, we follow a few perspectives including a detective named Owens who has lost his wife to mental illness. When a scientist dies and it is ruled suicide, Owen is very suspicious. 

Launching into a murky world of suspect technology and blurred visions, this story kept me engaged from start to finish. There are some powerful flashbacks that enhance the world building and ample time is spent establishing the present day as well. I would say that the author prioritized world building over character development, so if you are okay with that I think you might like this speculative crime story. I found it fun and unique, outside my comfort zone just enough. Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Minotaur books for an ALC in exchange for my honest review.
