Summary

How do you identify a ruthless killer when you can’t even recognise your own face in a mirror?

Returning to work following an accident, Detective Inspector Ray Patrick refuses to disclose he now lives with face blindness - an inability to recognise faces. As Ray deceives his team, he is pulled into a police operation that targets an international trade in human organs. And when he attempts to bring the organisation down, Ray is witness to a savage murder. But it’s a killer he will never remember.

The pressure mounts as Ray attempts to keep his secret and solve the case alone. With only his ex-wife as a confidante, he feels progressively isolated. Can he escape with his career and his life intact?

great and unusual, ended up ignoring the other half with head phones in the kitchen instead of just listening in the car.

A gripping and fascinating story

Before I listened to Dead Blind I must admit I knew almost nothing about face blindness. Dead Blind is a fantastically gripping police procedural in its own right, but the way Rebecca Bradley weaves in the challenges and dilemmas DI Ray Patrick has to deal with after his accident - both personal and professional, emotional and practical - make this a doubly enthralling novel. I loved the narrator's delivery too. Hugely well done all round.

An excellent story

I was born with Prospagnosia and it is the bane of my life. Its severity varies from sufferer to sufferer, so I am able to recognise my friends & family, thank goodness. But I have to meet a new person 10 to 15 times before I can recognise them, and then only in the context of seeing them where I expect to. It takes months to be able to recognise someone new, if I see them somewhere I don't expect to, and I would make a terrible witness to any crime!

Knowing all of this is what drew me to this story, and it is a very accurate depiction of what it is like to live with face blindness, and having to rely on other visual cues, such as hairstyle, jewellery or gait. And the constant stress of not recognising someone and then offending them. Then there are all of the extra stresses and fear that Ray has to deal with as the exciting story unfolds.

Really well written and clearly very well researched too. My first book by this author, and while I'm disappointed that this appears to be a standalone, rather than part of a series, I will definitely be downloading more of her work.
