40. 18 Seconds by George D. Shuman

Okay, you know me, I’m a sucker for psychic detective stories. In this series the psychic detective is Sherry Moore. She’s not really a detective, she just helps out the police sometimes. Also, she is blind. But don’t worry, she’s really pretty. I say that because when people meet her in the book they don’t know she’s blind, and then they’re all, “OMG, she’s blind! but OMG, she’s beautiful!” ugh. Whatever.

I really liked all the character development in this book. However, it seems like the ending was rushed and then only the crime was resolved and none of the character stuff was resolved. Also, did O’Shaunessey die? Because I didn’t think she did, but then NONE of her stuff was resolved, so I figured she’d be back in book 2, Last Breath, because the focus was on her for SO MUCH of the first book for there not to be any kind of settling up with her storyline. ONLY I JUST READ BOOK TWO AND SHE’S NOT IN IT AT ALL. Which makes me think that maybe she died in the first one. But wouldn’t I know if she had?

The ending was too fast and unclear.

Sherry Moore’s psychic talent is that she can touch a dead person’s hand and see the last 18 seconds of their memory. Not the most awesome premise, but there you go. What I don’t understand (because I’ve never been around blind people) is how a lady who has been blind all of her life would know how to accurately describe stuff to the police. Does she know what colors even look like?
