Book Review:

Spoilers?
A smidge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is one of the books I read after the passing of Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. With no water, electricity or internet I took to reading my books.

I read this one on October 23.
33 days after.



Title - The Body Reader
By - Anne Frasier
Publication - June 21st 2016 by Thomas & Mercer
Copy - Paperback, 302 pages

Genre - Mystery, Thriller, Suspense

For three years, Detective Jude Fontaine was kept from the outside world. Held in an underground cell, her only contact was with her sadistic captor, and reading his face was her entire existence. Learning his every line, every movement, and every flicker of thought is what kept her alive.

After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice—and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead. Despite colleagues’ doubts about her mental state, she resumes her role at Homicide. Her new partner, Detective Uriah Ashby, doesn’t trust her sanity, and he has a story of his own he’d rather keep hidden. But a killer is on the loose, murdering young women, so the detectives have no choice: they must work together to catch the madman before he strikes again. And no one knows madmen like Jude Fontaine.

My Review:


The Cover:
Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.
I actually really love the cover. The photo of who is supposed to be Jude with a photo of who I think is her partner, Uriah inside. I liked it.


The Story:


Detective Jude Fontaine was held captive for years in an underground cell with no hope of leaving. She could only distract herself by learning her captors every move, expression, and words. Until the day she gets out.



Overall:


I loved it. I knew I would love it, too.

It was such a good book with a good unpredictable twist at the end. Which is why I recommend it so much.


I actually tried to start this book back in April.

April 28, 2017 – page 39 

"I started this the other day, mostly because we were stuck on the side of the highway, just got out of school, cause the car broke down. It was just me and mom. She was super worried and scared it would get dark before we got home. While I was in the back reading this book while we waited for help. It was a weird moment and a made a weird decision to read a thriller mystery in that kind of situation. 😕"
