Publisher Description

Shot in the head by an unknown assailant, Sharon McCone finds herself trapped by Locked-In Syndrome: almost total paralysis but an alert, conscious mind. Since the late-night attack occurred at her agency's offices, the natural conclusion was that it was connected to one of the firm's cases.

As Sharon lies in her hospital bed, furiously trying to break out of her body's prison and discover her attacker's identity, all the members of her agency fan out to find the reason why she was assaulted. Meanwhile, Sharon becomes a locked-in detective, sorting through the clues her colleagues discover.

As the case draws to a surprising and even shocking conclusion, Sharon's husband, Hy, must decide whether or not to surrender to his own violent past and exact final vengeance when the person responsible is identified.

    " I like this author and the Sharon McCone series but this was a bit thin. Concept borrowed from The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, but S.M. seemed to have a much easier time than M. Bauby! It hardly hampered her detecting a whit! "

    " I used to read her books all of the time - this is my return to her after several years. I like the concept of the story; being locked in, but the story itself could have been much better. "

    " This Sharon McCone mystery was quite different than the others. I enjoyed having all of the characters from her life together, working on her case. Since I see this is #27 in the series, I plan to go back and see if I missed any books! "

    " Another good mystery in the Sharon McCone series. In this case, she has been shot and might not recover. Meanwhile, her family and friends are trying to find out who had shot her. "

    " Wow! Marcia Muller at her best. Sharon McCone doesn't say much in this book, but she communicates despite having "locked-in" syndrome. A fast read that you won't want to put down! "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " An ok read but I get the feeling it was almost sn exercise for Marcia muller- how could Sharon solve the mystery when she couldn't even move or speak? "

    " I had begun to tire of Sharon McCone but this addition to the series re-energized my interest. It used the Josephine Tey trick of the narrator solving the mystery from bed - only in this case McCone was totally unable to communicate except by blinking her eyes. Clever story. "

    " I think think was the best yet. Held you on the edge of your seat and then made your cry. I will be looking forward to see how Muller will follow this up. "

    " This was a good one, hard to put down. I really liked the way the short chapters, written from the point-of-view of each of the different characters, kept the story moving. Marcia Muller never disappoints. "

    " Shar has been shot entering the office and is now locked in, can't move or speak. The story is told from the points of view of Hy, her family and co-workers. An engrossing read that keeps you guessing till the end. "

    " Maybe 2 1/2 stars, but I have read this series for years, and this is my least favorite in a very good series. If you are new to Muller's work, please don't judge the rest of the Sharon McCone books by this one. A disappointment. "

    " I read this right after I saw an episode on House MD where a patient had Locked-in syndrome. It was great reading this and trying to imagine what McCone was seeing thru her eyes,, as the patient had done on the TV show. "

    " A slight deaprture in style for Muller. Each (very short) chapter is through the eyses of one of the charachters. Good story line. "
