I absolutely loved my read over the weekend!
The book was George Shuman's 18 SECONDS (Simon & Schuster, c2006, ISBN 0-7432-7716-3)and boy, was it fun!
Set in Wildwood, New Jersey, a boardwalk-by-the-sea town, Kelly O'Shaughnessy is a newly appointed Lieutenant in the police force and is faced with the disappearances of several young girls.
Across the way in Pennsylvania is Sherry Moore. Blind since a young child, she works with police departments utilizing her gift: the ability to see the last 18 seconds in life of a dead person. Too many inconsistencies within several open cases bring Kelly and Sherry together. But will the sights that Sherry see be enough to help or hinder the case.
The book also has a really good bad guy and some great description within. I will definitely be looking for his next book.
It begins:
Sherry stepped off the courtesy cart near the hotel kiosk in the ground transportation level of the Pittsburgh International Airport.
Now reading FULL SCOOP by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes...

This just went to the top of my TBR list and I never heard of it before. I've spent every summer of my life in Wildwood, New Jersey. I may have to stop in and purchase it at the B&N on my way home from work.
