D for Daisy (The Blind Sleuth Mysteries Book 1) by Nick Aaron Book Summary

The Bottom Line: “A highly engaging World War II mystery with a remarkable amateur sleuth at the helm.” — BestThrillers.com

Set during World War II, D for Daisy begins as the eponymously named British bomber returns to base. The landing is a harrowing one, as the plane’s pilot, Ralph Prendergast, is dead on arrival. It’s up to the flight engineer to take the controls while the rest of the crew hangs on for dear life.
Ralph’s 21-year-old wife, Daisy, has seemingly been prepared for each of her husband’s missions to be his last. As such, she’s remarkably composed when told of Ralph’s passing. Initially, she assumes he’s been killed by a stray bullet or piece of flak. But in the emotional scene where Daisy, who is blind, feels his corpse, she discovers that her husband has no external wounds.
Daisy’s demand for an autopsy is denied. But after collecting Ralph’s suitcase, she discovers the flask he had taken with him on his last mission and takes it to a pharmacist for analysis. Arsenic is discovered in the sample, which is all the evidence Daisy needs to set about attempting to solve her husband’s murder.
In Daisy, author Nick Aaron has created a remarkable amateur sleuth. At times, her formidable powers of deduction seem to be enhanced by her blindness, and she is somehow more observant than her peers when it comes to her insight into human psychology and motive. Daisy’s own telling of her experience throughout (“Do you realise that I have no way of picturing how gold or crystal glitters?”) make her all the more sympathetic. In a moment of meta-awareness shortly after inspecting her husband’s body, she declares, “let’s see, what would you have to do as an amateur sleuth?” As sleuths go, she’s also remarkably patient. Once she determines who has murdered her husband, she’s content to wait until just the right moment to attempt to pounce—even if justice will be years in the making.
The novel’s strengths lie in how well Aaron draws Daisy’s character, the tantalizing mystery of Ralph's death and an unsettling romantic suspense that carries the plot forward. Aaron’s prose is primarily driven by dialogue and exposition rather than evocative description, which makes this first entry in Aaron’s Blind Sleuth series a quick read that can easily be devoured over a weekend. Fans of World War II period fiction will relish the unconventional chess match between Daisy and her husband’s killer, which simmers throughout the narrative until its satisfying conclusion.

Wow....totally unexpected. Very interesting crime novel. Makes one wonder if the author knows someone or has had experience with the blind. Not at all what I expected. Talk about preconceived ideas about the blind. Thank you for opening my eyes. Hope the rest of the series is just as interesting.

Captivating. A very good story and well described characters

Excellent! Riveting! Great storytelling!. Completely enthralled from the first paragraphs, and more so as vivid sensory details from the world of the blind are revealed, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this thriller. Well-wrought characters and clear description of the historical matrix as it unfolds and achieves a satisfying conclusion provide plenty of reading delight. No cliffhangers! Yet I hunger for more…to delightedly find there are indeed more standalone gems in this fine series.
