Everywhere to Hide

EVERYWHERE TO HIDE...by Siri Mitchell A good description and story around facial blindness, cryptocurrency and China. Good use of real life situations and happenings she has woven into the plot. A touch of romance with Leo showing his protectiveness with Whitney yet, not over powering her. A good clean story to enjoy. Given ARC by Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

I found this book fascinating! Who knew I'd become a fan of political thrillers but this year I've read several after reading none previously! They have never interested me before and then I read one and have since read several and liked them! As other reviewers have said, this centers on a woman named Whitney who suffers from "face blindness" and I have never heard of that condition before. I can't even imagine seeing a person and not seeing their face! As the author describes it, it's like those news photos you see where the face of a person is blurred out and you just see the rest of the body. Can you imagine going through life permanently seeing that every day with every person? I sure can't! You have to identify people in other ways. I think it would be more difficult than actually being fully blind. Whitney "witnesses" a murder but can tell the police nothing about the murderer. The murderer knows this once that person discovers her "disability" and comes after her. There are so many things that hinge on Whitney remembering things from years past as an intern on The Hill for a senator but it's been so long ago and they come to her bits and pieces at a time. Detective Leo was a favorite character of mine. He was so supportive of her, even when others grew frustrated with her! The crytocurrency angle was a little tiresome and the author could have scaled back on that but all in all, I enjoyed this book very much! Very interesting and kept me turning the pages to see how it turned out!
