Better on character interpretation, not on reality factor. The entire events of the book are supposed to take place in the span of 14 hours. Unless Hank Gooch is a master of time management, it just can't realistically happen. It would have been much more doable for it to be 48 hours; to much traveling around for this to have occurred.

Blind Fear by Lynn Abercrombie is the second book in her series about MeChelle Deakes who works in the Cold Case Department for the Atlanta Police. This particular story starts as she wakes up with her eyes glued shut in a small soundproof room, all she can hear is the ticking of the clock and a disembodied voice telling her she has thirteen hours.

Meanwhile her co-worker has come to the realization that she has been abducted and knowing he doesn’t have the experience to handle this, he goes to MeChelle’s retired boss and begs him to help. On a constant countdown, the story follows both MeChelle as she explores her options and Detective Hank Gooch as he realizes the place to start from is MeChelle’s last case and painstaking untangles the clues and races against the clock to solve it and find her. As MeChelle’s last case was the reopening of an eighteen year old murder there is lot to put together in the thirteen hours that they have.

Even though the story takes off at lightning speed and there are many ups and downs along the way, I found it was still a very implausible plot that I really had a hard time swallowing. Even though I quite enjoyed the first book in the series, I doubt that I will be continuing on with this series. ( )

Eine Frau kommt zu Detective MeChelle Deakes und sagt ihr, sie wisse, wer vor 18 Jahren ihre Mutter umgebracht habe. MeChelle nimmt sich der Sache an, doch noch bevor sie richtig angefangen hat, wird sie entführt und mit zugeklebten Augen in einer Wohnung eingesperrt. Eine automatische Stimme sagt ihr, daß sie 13 Stunden Zeit habe, den Fall aufzuklären, ansonsten würde sie sterben. Ihre einzige Unterstützung sind fünf Hinweise, die in der Wohnung liegen, und ein Telefon, mit dem sie drei Mal pro Stunde für jeweils höchstens eine Minute telefonieren kann. Sie arbeitet also mit dem aus der Rente zurücjkgekehrten Ex-Polizisten Hank Gooch zusammen, der "draußen" versucht, die losen Fäden zusammenzubekommen. Und während die beiden den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit aufnehmen und versuchen, den Mord aufzuklären, stellen sie fest, daß an der ganzen Geschichte so manches nicht stimmt. Angefangen bei der Identität der Frau, die zu Beginn bei MeChelle war und das Ganze losgetreten hat. Und der Mörder ist offensichtlich auch informiert worden, denn jemand versucht mit allen Mitteln, die Untersuchung zu stoppen. Eine spannend erzählte Geschichte, die durch die Idee mit der blinden und eingesperrten MeChelle einen besonderen Reiz bekommt. Und der Spannungsbogen bleibt das ganze Buch hindurch erhalten. Immer neue Verdächtige tauchen auf, und erst sehr spät wird klar, wie alle diese Personen tatsächlich miteinander und mit dem Mord zusammenhängen. Ein empfehlenswertes Buch, auch wenn das heroische Durchhalten und Weitermachen von Hank, nachdem er angeschossen wurde, etwas arg dick aufgetragen ist. ( )

This is my first experience with author Lynn Abercrombie. I really got hooked on the characters in this novel. The hero Lt. Hank Gooch is a tobacco chewing, hill-billy type, who made me crack up several times through out the book. The idea for the story was different and very interesting. The action-packed plot grabbed my attention right from the opening scene - which was almost chilling. I definitely will be reading The Body Box, which is the Deakes-Gooch previous saga. ( )

I found this thriller to be not quite as great a read as the first Cold Case novel by Lynn Abercrombie. I did enjoy the fast pace, though, and was very interested in "whodunit". ( )
