Bernadette Saint Claire #3
Blind Sight
A deer hunter tracking his wounded prey through the Minnesota woods gets much more than he bargained for when he makes the grisly discovery of a young girl’s body. The condition of the corpse is shocking: The girl had been pregnant, but the fetus was removed from her womb and an inverted pentagram drawn on her forehead. After the girl is identified as the daughter of a high-powered Senator, the FBI is called in to find the murderer—and the missing baby.
The case becomes increasingly complex as Bernadette and Tony’s personal relationship heats up, and the investigation is hampered by the many lies that lead them on a circuitous—and deadly—route to the truth. Through dogged police work and Bernadette’s unique powers of second sight, they close in on the killers on a frigid night in the snowy woods in an effort to save the tiny victim of the toughest crime they’ve ever solved.

Blind Sight begins when Cat and her boss have to go out of town for a case that seems really intense. For some reason, her boss has her staying with him at a friends cabin, and things are getting a little complicated between them. Then add in her sight, and some weird things going on and she's in for a strange mystery.
This book was okay. It wasn't as good as previous books, and I was a little bit annoyed with certain things, but I enjoyed it and I liked the progress between Cat and Garcia. However, I'm a little sad that there doesn't seem to be anymore books in this series, but this one didn't really seem like the "end" of it all.

Read this in one sitting, it was such an experience. I wasn't surprised at the killer reveal though, might want to do a reread! Also, very confused at the amount of people who had runny nose in this.

I enjoyed the third book in the Bernadette Saint Clare series. Not only has Persons created a very interesting heroine in Bernadette, the stories she's created are suspenseful, intriguing and very entertaining. The books are written well. Persons doesn't go overboard with rehashing details of characters or past crimes. I'm glad that Bernadette and Garcia finally got together. It was high time.
Since the book was published in 2009, I'm curious to know if there are any new books to follow in the series. There's no information available on the internet with respect to it. I only ask considering how the book ended. It came to a sudden halt, with no information as the relationship between the agents. More importantly, nothing is said about Bernadette's head problem. She's lost sight of her vision a few times, not to mention she's experiencing symptoms from a serious head trauma, symptoms that suggest should she fall asleep, she may never wake again. There was no conclusion to this. I do hope there is another book in the series.

FBI agent Bernadette St. Clare and her boss Tony Garcia return in this fast-paced third installment to the series. When a hunter discovers the mutilated body of a teenager in the woods, Bernie and Tony are called in to investigate. The girl, the missing daughter of a U.S. senator who is very outspoken against the feds, had been pregnant, but the body of the fetus is missing. Nearby folks whisper of witchcraft and Satanism, a fact that becomes very significant when investigators discover a pentagram etched in blood on the dead girl’s forehead—a pentagram that is subsequently wiped off by a person, or persons, who aren’t keen on their group coming under investigation. Bernadette must once again rely on her very unreliable “sight” to help solve this case. Meanwhile, she and Garcia are growing ever closer, a fact that must remain as secret as her special ability. Persons does a great job of balancing the supernatural element with what is essentially a traditional police procedural series.

There is no indication at all on the book itself that this was part of a series. I never would have started on number three otherwise. Oh well, even without the background information on Bernadette and Anthony I enjoyed this story. It was truly a mystery to me as I had no idea of the culprit until it was revealed at the end. I really liked Bernadette (I'd love to know why Tony calls her Cat) and Tony is one of those guys you instantly like. He gives Bernadette her head and lets her do what she likes investigation-wise. I will definitely be reading the first two books in this series to get that much needed (for my benefit) background on these interesting characters.

The word "paranormal" is usually a cue for me to stay away but not so with Terri Persons' novels. This third installment is by far the best in the series as Persons overcomes her rookie and sophomore oversights. Bernadette St. Claire, profiler extraordinaire's extra ability to "see" through the killer's eyes only adds to this fast paced police procedural. The inverted pentagram on the bodies certainly adds a bit of "woo woo" factor to the mystery as well. All-in-all an entertaining and fulfilling read.

I truly enjoy reading books where the story originates in my town, St Paul, MN. Persons writes well, moves the story along and mixes romantic relations in the plot in a real-life manner. I also enjoy the psychic quality the main character Cat utilizes. The "gut quality" instinct many in law enforcement have but heightened. Fun and fascinating. Looking forward to more.

Teen daughter of senator is killed and her baby cut from her uterus. "Cat" "sees" that there are two murderers, and it goes back to a similar murder 17 years ago. New development, Cat goes temporarily blind after she "sees" through the murderer's eyes.
She and Garcia finally make love.

Another great thriller in the Bernadette St. Claire series. Persons really keeps you guessing until the end. I didn't know who the guilty person(s) was until right before it was revealed.

Something lacking from this one. Good plot but somehow was a little tumtetum.
hiatus
June 21, 2013This was in my pending list because I left the book at home when I came back to Shah Alam during Gawai Break recently.

FBI agent uses her special talent to hunt down a serial killer. She has the ability to actually get in the head of someone and see what is occurring through their eyes.

Not really impressed about the plots. I can't feel what pulled all the coven members together, more feel like the religion is a role-playing game for adults.

Acceptable paranormal police procedural. For some reason I was not fully engaged with the characters and the storyline but I attribute that to external factors, not the author or writing.

This is a terrific book! The heroine, Bernadette Saint Clare, is an FBI agent who (sometimes) can "see" through a murderer's eyes. Though I usually do not like books with magical twists, this one is written very well and does not rely unduly on the "second sight". Bernadette and her boss (and lover) Tony Garcia are called to the wilds of Minnesota to investigate a brutal murder of a young pregnant girl - and the fetus has been removed surgically and has disappeared. I will certainly read more of the books by Terri Persons.
