Lydia Fitzpatrick liked Anderson McKean's review of In the Blind: "I loved everything about IN THE BLIND, a tense, atmospheric mystery from Lydia Kilpatrick. The swampy marshlands of coastal Carolina set the tone for this suspenseful tale where past trauma, lifelong regret and a search for answers collide. Perfect f" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Lydia Fitzpatrick (?)

“...and he could still feel it- that happiness for him was like a dog chained to a stake, that whenever he let it run, he’d be yanked back, but still he let it run for a second and tried not to brace himself for the pull of the chain.”

“He thought of her standing in the dark by the pool. Sometimes she looked at him too, and if there wasn’t necessarily affection there, there was at least a measure of curiosity. And she had touched his arm at Star Pilgrim. She had sat next to him in the car. Small things, sure, but taken together they began to add up.”
― Lydia Fitzpatrick, Lights All Night Long
