The Silence In Her Eyes by Armando Lucas Correa

Leah has a rare disease known as motion blindness which allows her to see but not movement. She sees life in a series of blurry still frames. Her mother has just died leaving her alone in her New York apartment with the exception of the caretaker who has been with her since childhood and her doctor.
She makes friends uneasily one being a young man at the bookstore she visits daily and the second is her new neighbor who is her age but has an abusive husband she is trying to divorce. Leah's other senses are heightened and she smells and hears much more acutely than most. This hyperawareness alerts her to danger and she senses that something bad is going to happen to her neighbor at the hands of her husband. This leads Leah to take drastic action to help her friend ending in disastrous results. We, the reader, are trapped between feeling sorry for Leah but also don't trust her impressions. As the tension mounts you feel like you are not getting the whole story. The writing becomes frenzied and Leah's fuzzy perceptions only heighten the paranoia that creeps in. A tense Hitchcockian edge of your seat psychological tale with the most unreliable of narrators. Fans of REAR WINDOW, WOMAN ON THE TRAIN AND WOMAN IN THE WINDOW will appreciate this. They say that seeing is believing but what if you are only seeing part of the picture? ​  4 blurry stars
