"I only have eyes for you." Song lyrics

We can always count on certain things when reading Linwood Barclay's novels, interesting characters, nail biting suspense and a great story.

In "Trust Your Eyes," Ray Kilbride, a man you might meet anyplace, comes home for his father's funeral. Then he must decide what to do with his schizophrenic brother, Tom who spends most of his time glued to the computer.

Tom has a computer program called Whirl 360, where the website allows him to look at actual streets and what is going on, all over the world.

He sees something that looks like a major crime happening. He won't be satisfied until he can be sure what happened  and asks Ray to check it out. In this manner, the two brothers stumble on to a major conspiracy.

Elsewhere, Morris Sawchuck is running for governor. Someone contacts his wife, Bridget, and demands a meeting.

Tom narrates his portion of the story. His disbelief of the situation turns to extreme anxiety in a manner where the reader is drawn into the action. Reading his actions in the first case, with the use of "I" a number of times, we feels as if we were the person speaking and it is our own adventure.

Barclay is a talented story writer and his prose has a cinematic quality as we observe not only the action but the scene itself, whether it is in an antique shop with walls lined up with Royal Doulton figurines or old fashioned cameras, or a frantic man in the backseat of a New York cab, telling the bored driver that he must go faster to save someone's life.

Everything comes together nicely in a satisfactory conclusion. I enjoyed this novel very much and have only one suggestion. Don't miss it.

Nice review! I guess with all the webcams around, it would be possible to witness a crime online. But to actually try to find out what happened? Sounds intriguing!

I do not leave a ton of responses, however I read a ton of comments
on ""I only have eyes for you." Song lyrics". I actually do have some questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it simply me or do a few of these comments look like they
are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at
other online social sites, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post.
Could you make a list of every one of all your social sites like your
twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

But did you ever ask yourself what karma to gain for all the hype your looks received.
As long as the treatment is used constantly the
hair growth can be maintained indefinitely. This effect
called low level laser therapy (LLLT) also known as laser biostimulation, photobiomodulation and cold laser therapy
is now used for the treatment of hair regrowth.

The acai berry has been hailed by many individuals as a
super-fruit because of its many benefits. So, due
to the long term effects of drugs like these, it is perhaps better to seek
out a holistic solution. It has no side effects and is very good for detox process.
