Eye of the Mind

By Sara Davison

Description:

She can't picture his face.
But he knows hers.

Firefighter Jules Adler suspects her blind date with Officer Dante de Marco will not go well. When she witnesses a violent crime, the night goes from bad to worse fast.

Dante, the police sketch artist, is tasked with getting enough details from her to draw the killer. If only Jules could visualize the man’s face.

She and Dante are forced to spend a lot more time together than either would like, trying desperately to come up with a likeness. The problem is, with a ruthless psychopath closing in, that time is about to run out.

For fans of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense, slow-burning romance, humor, and deep issues of faith.

Book Takeaway:

As humans, we have a tendency to create a false God in our minds - a God who exists to give us whatever we ask for and only wants us to be happy. As Jules and Dante discover, the true God is still good, even when His definition of what is good for us might be different than ours.

Why the author wrote this book:

Since hearing about aphantasia, or the inability to visualize mental images, I've been fascinated by the idea of an eyewitness to murder being unable to recall what she saw. Eye of the Mind tells the story of Jules Adler, who flees a disastrous first date and runs straight into a crime scene. Although she can't describe the killer's face, he knows hers and begins a game of cat and mouse with her and those she cares about. She and the police sketch artist - the man she'd been on that terrible blind date with - work frantically to come up with a likeness as the psychopath tightens the noose and time is running out. I love the extra challenge of working around her neurodivergency to try and find the killer before he silences her.
