After hearing author Armando Lucas Correa speak about his latest novel, The Silence In Her Eyes (#1,214), I knew I wanted to read it. Known for his historical novels, Silence was a pet project for him. It's a thriller centered on a young woman who suffers from a neurological condition called akinetopsia. Leah has motion blindness. Although she can see, the image remains still until she blinks her eyes. Much can change around her in the time it takes her to blink.
Leah's mother has recently died, leaving her alone in an enormous pre-war apartment. When a young woman in the throes of a nasty divorce moves in next door, Leah can hear them fighting. After Leah befriends Alice, everything changes for her; someone comes into her apartment, leaving a strong and distinctive scent behind. No one believes her, though, even when she senses someone watching and following her...
In this cat-and-mouse thriller, it really is a question of who is preying on whom.
Twisty, it certainly kept me guessing until the end!
