From the Corner of His Eye (2)

This book never gets boring...it's really hard to put down.

"Joey couldn't raise his head, couldn't turn more directly toward her... because his spine had been damaged, perhaps severed, and he was paralyzed."

Agnes was finally ready to leave for the hospital. As she and Joey were passing through and intersection, a Ford pick-up broadsided their car. They flipped, hit another car, and did a 360. Agnes seemed to be alright but Joey was paralyzed. He said a few words to her and the baby and died. Rescuers got Agnes out and then her water broke but there was blood with it. I feel so bad for this woman. It's so vivid in my mind, it's hard not to feel the emotion coming from the characters.

"The truth, as always, was not supernatural: He opened his eyes and discovered that he was in the back of an ambulance. Evidently this was the one intended for Naomi. They would be sending a morgue wagon for her now."

Junior had killed his wife, shown the police her body, and told them that she had fallen. He became very shaky and began vomitting uncontrollably. He couldn't stop and he had to be taken to the hospital. later you find that he had Hematemesis, which is vomitting blood. One detective sees right through junior's lie about his wife and sits in his hospital room waiting for answers. Junior reminds me of a sociopath. He seems to love his wife and miss her and yet he pushed her to her death. It's very confusing.


Agnes has her baby. So far, it's in an incubator. She names him Bartholomew because that is what her husband wanted. You can tell she is having a hard time believing that her husband is dead and she now has to raise her baby alone. It's so sad to think about how things go from perfect to catastrophe in a matter of seconds.

The detective that sits by Junior's side is very smart. However, Junior can tell this guy doesn't believe him, and he has every intention to use his intelligence as well. He has put a lot of thoughts into his plans. However, the detective reveals that while junior was asleep he called out a name, Bartholomew...

The plot just keeps thickening. Everybody's lives are connected but it only reveals tiny pieces at a time. It's like one of those brain teasers where you have to find out who ate what or who did what...It's driving me crazy!!
