Introducing a heroine unlike any other . . . FBI Agent Bernadette Saint Clare’s gift of sight allows her to see things others can’t. But some things are better left unseen. Not always easy to work with, Agent Bernadette Saint Clare has been assigned and reassigned to FBI offices all over the country. Not long after she’s placed at a desk in the basement of the off-site St. Paul office, she’s called on to do what she does best: use personal effects found at a crime scene to see through a killer’s eyes. In some cases her sight has been astoundingly accurate; in others it has been less than perfect. The agent in charge of this case, Tony Garcia, aware of Bernadette’s spotty record, is unsure if he should follow her lead, and the tension between them makes for an uneasy alliance. To make things more complicated, she becomes involved with her new upstairs neighbor. But there’s something about him she can’t quite put her finger on—especially when he offers her a key clue to the killer’s identity. A complex novel filled with quirky characters on the right and wrong sides of the law, Blind Spot reminds us that life is filled with leaps of faith both great and small.

"If you do not like paranormal mixed in with your forensics do not read this book. I however have an open mind and believe in the paranormal. This book begins a series with an FBI agent who has the ability to "see" through the killer's eyes. I was skeptical in the beginning, and then go so into it I finished the book within two days because it had enough suspense and weird turns."

" Really enjoyed the psychic twist to this detective's work in the town I call home now. I have mentioned before, I really enjoy knowing the sights and landscape where the characters unfold their stories. Good read. "
— Kayla, 2/7/2014" Good story, but I saw what was coming way too early. "
— Nikki, 2/3/2014" This is the first of her books I've read. Good book! Very entertaining! "
— Gail, 2/1/2014" This is a fun book, it blends the unexpected with the expected and makes you care about the characters. "
— Peg, 1/25/2014" Bernedette St Claire is a supernatural detective in much the same vein as Ghost Whisperer or Medium. A FBI agent, the agency wants her to use her power of "seeing" through a killer's eyes but also are suspicious of her abilities. She has the typically dark and painful past (and a particularly odd and unlikely one at that) and the typically prickly demeanor. The writing is plodding at times, especially when Persons is describing St Claire's route across the city street-by-street and the characters are fairly bland. Nonetheless, the mystery plot is serviceable for a quick read and an (admittedly pretty basic) final plot twist sets up the continuing series. This one won't offer many surprises, but ties together its plot into a satisfying conclusion and would likely appeal to those who like a supernatural element with their strong female heroines. "
— Laura, 12/27/2013" This was an interesting story with a differnt twist. A quick, light read. "
— Nancy, 12/19/2013" Amazing debut novel! I'm not sure where Persons has been hiding, but I am very glad she has come out to play! With a strong female lead, an intense plot and just a bit of the paranormal thrown in this is a near-perfect read. "
— Lynn, 10/7/2013" this mystery is by a local MN author. It is full of references to places around the twin cities. Very captivating, and a different thriller than the usual hack em up, find the body mystery. Highly reccommended! "
— Nina, 9/28/2013" A fast moving mystery with interesting characters. Not too sure about the "seeing ghosts" angle, but it wasn't too weird! "
— Tory, 7/28/2013" This book was just plain weird as it combined old fashioned detective work with the paranormal. "

— Robin, 10/27/2012" well, poot. I was really hoping that this would be better. strangely appealing premise, and moderately interesting criminal, oh, and a very intriguing main character cliff-hanger, but even added all together, felt like a freshman effort. "
— Valissa, 9/24/2012" I really enjoy watching the TV show, "Ghost Whisperer". This book reminded me of the show. For some reason, I didn't enjoy reading the same way I enjoy watching the show. The book is very well-written all the same! "
— Bobi, 8/30/2012" Overall good book, but amazing how the main character "saw" to solve murders. CSI type book. "
— Alisa, 12/3/2011" I really enjoyed this book. FBI agent with unique talents. "
— Marla, 8/31/2011" A fast paced thriller with a central character who has special sight. She is an FBI agent assigned to St. Paul and is successful in solving a crime involving a serial killer. "
— Andrea, 7/13/2011" I read this book because John Sandford, one of my favorite authors, recommended it. I loved this one and the ending definitely is a lead in to an ongoing series. Can't wait for the next one. "
— Pat, 4/5/2011" Liked this enough to want to read more in this series. The serial killer theme is creepy but she's an FBI agent, so it's her job. Liked her ghost lover. Hoping she'll hookup with her new boss "
— Marguerite, 3/19/2011" Police procedure is ridiculous. Premise was interesting, but disappointing read. "
