A love story in many ways, The Blindspot asks is blood truly thicker than water, and can you love someone too much

Reviews

'The Blindspot is a stunning and thought provoking novel about a large family whose lives are upended when the youngest brother is accused of a terrible crime. Since their mother died, Abi Campbell has raised her little brother Jack, who is finishing school and on the cusp of starting his adult life when he is arrested. What follows is a compelling journey through Abis memories of Jacks childhood, alongside her disintegrating present, as she wrestles with the question of whether the person she loves is capable of such a thing. Beautifully written and heartbreaking, The Blindspot perfectly brings to life family complexities and the nuances of the case. It stays with you long after youve left the page behind.' Heather Critchlow, author of Unsolved
