When I was working, I had to complain because they were sending building-wide announcements with pictures behind the words. When I was a child, I had my hearing tested. They didn't find anything but I've always had trouble hearing if there are other loud noises.<br /><br />I already read your book and look forward to seeing Evelyn again in the sequels.

The blind character relying on sense of touch is especially impressive. Catherine Lea's Last Seen Leaving has a blind main character, and, quite frankly, I wasn't sure I would like it, as it seemed so much of a detective's job would be or should be sight. I was thoroughly impressed by it, so I'm eager now to read another book with blindness at the forefront. Murder from Scratch sounds like a perfect read to further my interest in the amazing capabilities of the blind. And, the previous Sally books need my attention, too.<br /><br />My sense that is impaired is my hearing. It's getting bad and I know I need hearing aids, but I'm being stubborn. My family is used to repeating things, but I'm sure it's an aggravation. Trying to keep up with a conversation in a group is almost impossible. I should really do something about it before the next Bouchercon. Too much to miss there.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20112889841198187712019-04-19T12:59:15.818-04:002019-04-19T12:59:15.818-04:00What a neat concept for a mystery!
