I loved this book...a real page turner...could not put it down!

From the very beginning Sight Unseen gets you all caught up in the mystery of what is going to happen next. Suzanne Barr wove each of her characters with depth and personality without overdoing them. Spunky Iris quickly became my favorite. When you start reading this book, be sure you have some time for yourself because you won't want to be away from it for long. Sight Unseen is an excellent spellbinding thriller from a gifted and creative writer.

Great book, a definite page turner. Once I got started could not put it down. The book has it all, mystery, romance and some great characters with the exception of evil Richard. Can't wait for more from Suzanne. Penny Leaptrot

As a child, Richard overheard his ailing mom and her best friend, Iris Burke, discuss the latter and her spouse adopting him if she dies. Not long afterward, she passes away, but Ashton refuses to allow Richard into their home. Bitter, Richard is adopted by the working class Johnsons who he detests because he believes they are beneath him, before joining the military.

Almost two decades later, Ashton hires architect Richard Johnson, who brings a military contract with him that saves the Burke firm. Ashton introduces Richard to his daughter Susan, nursing a broken heart. Susan and Richard fall in love, marry, and have a daughter. However, Susan begins seeing the violent side of her spouse and worries about the safety of their child. She plans to leave Richard when little Ashley is abducted.

Though Richard has no redeeming qualities and a doctor who purposely misdiagnoses Iris for years gets off relatively soft, fans will appreciate this tense suspense thriller. The story line is action-packed as Richard cleverly manipulates the Burke family to do his bidding as he plans to avenge the hurt he suffered when Iris failed to adopt him. Filled with twists, fans will appreciate this taut tale with the life of an infant at stake.

Sight Unseen, is a well written, page turner!! The need to find out what happens next kept me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this read for anyone that enjoys a good mystery story.
