After contemplating suicide atop of the cliffs Naomi Hannah, who has been blind since birth, walks home through her home town of Balkerne Heights with her guide dog Max. Max pulls Naomi into an alley where she finds the body of 25 year old Cassie Jennings. Naomi is aware of the presence of someone else in the alley, is this the killer.

D.S Marcus Campbell, a newcomer to Balkerne Heights and D.I Lisa Elliott are sent to the crime scene. Lisa is a hard nosed police woman who makes life hard for Marcus, who is regretting his move to this small oppressive coastal town.

More women are murdered and each time Naomi seems to be implicated in some way to the crimes. Marcus and Lisa have differing ideas to Naomi's involvement which makes their working relationship ever more volatile. The residents of the town want answers from the police as whether these murders are in any way connected to the disappearance 20 years before of a young girl Hayley Miller.

Before Her Eyes is a dark claustrophobic thriller, with many twists and turns which left me shocked and surprised. The first book I have read by Jack Jordan but certainly not my last.
