A remorseful uneasiness appeared in her frank eyes. Mother seemed noworse, but if I only knew what strange fancies she had sometimes!

I really got into this book!! It was in my recommendations and I was a bit hesitant about buying it but I thought what the heck, I'll give it a shot. I am sooo glad I did, as it was one of those books I could not put down. It is engrossing and suspensful. I fell in love with Dr. Susan Shader and there is such depth in her relationship with her son that the authoor is very perceptive in portraying. As a parent I felt her pain and really could not believe how adept Mr. Glass was in making me feel a lot of things throughout the whole book. It is so much more than just a thriller although it does that well too. Very deep and moving and anyone who did not enjoy this book must be made of stone. It shows a real sensitivity that a lot of books lack and I can't wait to read his next novel, "Blood".

Law enforcement officials consider psychiatrist Dr. Susan Shader one of the best profilers of serial killers in the nation. The Chicago police turn to Susan when a case seems to be going no where. Susan offers the police more than just her tremendous profiling skills, she has second sight which often leads to hidden clues.
The Chicago police ask Susan to assist them on what appears to be a serial killer, who feasts on athletic women. The murderer strangles his victims and then rips out their eyes. Susan's ESP focuses on a janitor. However, the next corpse appears after the suspect kills himself. Susan knows that she must refocus both her talents in order to uncover the identity of the real killer before he adds his finds a fifth victim.
EYES is a well written book that falls a bit short. Susan is one of the best prtoagonists to surface in a long time because all of her relationships feel real and add to the humanization of the character. Especially intriguing is how her family reflects modern society as her six year old son lives with his father (her ex) in California. The ESP genuinely comes across as the real deal because Susan struggles with the associated rewards and punishment. Though the book is worth reading by fans of serial killers and ESP mystery aficionados, the suspense fails to grip the reader as the story line is built around the stereotypical serial killer and too much is given away too early. Joseph Glass demonstrates a lot of talent in his character development that will insure that readers will seek (but not desperately) another novel starring Susan, but needs more emphasis on what goes on inside the head of his lead protagonist, who will engage the empathy of the audience.

"Haste makes waste." Nowhere is this adage more true than in Joseph Glass' first novel, "Eyes: A Susan Shader Novel" When Chicago police detective David Gold makes an arrest of a man they believe to be a serial killer, the city breathes a collective sigh of relief. Based on tangible evidence, and the the intangible psychic visions of long-time friend and confidant Dr. Susan Shader, Gold rushes to close the case that has beleaguered the city for months. Though Shader has misgivings and secret doubts about the man they arrested, she keeps them to herself. Her reticence blows up in her face when the man arrested as the murderer kills himself in his cell, and days later, another victim is found mutilated in the same manner as the previous ones. Self-esteem dangerously low, and reputation destroyed, Shader goes into a reclusive state. Shunned by the public and vilified by the Chicago Police Department, Shader vows never to trust her visions again. Until the apple-of-her-eye is abducted in plain view of hundreds of witnesses...her son. Though his kidnapping happens in the midst of O'Hare airport, no one has seen the boy nor his abductor. Shader knows she must work quickly (and alone) to save her boy.
Though the book jacket likens "Eyes" killer to Hannibal Lecter...the insidious evil of the Harris novels is sadly absent. We are not privy to the thoughts and dark workings of the killers mind here, but the story itself is not lacking because of it. A thrilling page-turner, "Eyes" is bound to keep the reader wanting more!

The prologue is fascinating, and quite unexpected in its blunt treatment of the death of Peter. Who is this nasty little Arnold Haze?
As we get into the "meat" of the novel, we wonder: What in the world did the opening have to do with the Coed murders? Enter psychic consultant Susan Shader, a gifted woman who is helping David Gold investigate the series of gruesome murders. With Susan's help, a suspect is found and ultimately pinned with the murders---halfway through the book, so we know something's afoot.
Suffice to say, a cruel mastermind pointed them to the direction he wanted, so he can continue his murders. It is at this point the enigmatic prologue comes to light.
Glass works wonders with his characters; Susan is remarkable in her determination, and how she deals with a divorce and her limited time with her eight year old son, Michael, who is a delightful character as well. Susans' relationships with her ex-husband, Nick, and with David Gold, are real and touching.
The novel builds well although it's final moments seem a little rushed and perhaps slightly forced. But it's a good read and held me in its thrall.
RECOMMENDED.
