Publisher Description
The murder victim's wife was blind.
World War II. During the attacks on Berlin in the winter of 1943-44, wave after wave of British bombers swept over northern Europe and dropped their lethal loads on the German capital. A fair percentage of the bombers would fail to return from these 'ops', and RAF planners calculated the life expectancy of the airmen in weeks rather than months.
Therefore it did not seem strange when a Lancaster named D-Daisy landed at its base in England after a bombing run, and a member of the crew was found dead.
However, one person soon came to the conclusion that this man had been murdered. And the person who discovered this happened to be blind since birth. Her name was Daisy and she was the victim’s wife. She was very blonde and very pretty; also very young. That's why no one would listen to her.
So she had to find the killer on her own.
Customer Reviews
Excellent! Riveting! Great storytelling!
Completely enthralled from the first paragraphs, and more so as vivid sensory details from the world of the blind are revealed, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this thriller. Well-wrought characters and clear description of the historical matrix as it unfolds and achieves a satisfying conclusion provide plenty of reading delight. No cliffhangers! Yet I hunger for more…to delightedly find there are indeed more standalone gems in this fine series.
Captivating
A very good story and well described characters
Wow....totally unexpected
Very interesting crime novel. Makes one wonder if the author knows someone or has had experience with the blind. Not at all what I expected. Talk about preconceived ideas about the blind. Thank you for opening my eyes. Hope the rest of the series is just as interesting.
