Rachel Matthews is from a family of lawyers. She is a very ambitious single mother to one daughter, Charley (Charlotte). Rachel has never told her daughter the truth about her father and the fact that he was married when she was conceived and died before he knew about her. After an awards banquet, things start to change in Rachel’s life. Suddenly she has a stalker. Flowers, notes and graffiti lead to a PI, demands of money, a crime that she cannot unravel. This twisty cat and mouse game will have you thinking about what ‘blindspots’ you have in your life too. This is a fast paced book from beginning to end.

Blindspot is a thrilling read. Rachel Matthews is very good at her job as a DA and when she’s offered to be in the short list for promotion she couldn’t be happier. It means she needs to be careful as people will be watching her and judging if she’s up to the job. Rachel soon discovers others in the DA office are not the only ones watching her as she starts to get flowers and notes from a stalker.

I was hooked from the first page. It starts off like a legal thriller because of Rachel’s job as a DA but quickly switches to Rachel’s personal life and her stalker. I read this book in 2 days because I didn’t want to put it down. It’s filled with twists and unexpected events.

I binged this book, staying up until midnight because I didn't want to put it down. Rachel, an assistant district attorney starts getting creepy calls and notes, and with all the bad guys she's put away over the years, it creates an atmosphere that has you wondering who her stalker is. What makes the situation even more disturbing is that Rachel is a single mother to a sometimes surly teenage daughter named Charley with a strong personality of her own. The suspense is so thick you can cut it with a knife as Rachel works with an old high school friend named Max to find her stalker before he carries through with his threats. I highly recommend this one for fans of psychological suspense.

Blindspot by Maggie Smith is an outstanding tale of suspense, expertly crafted and wholly captivating from start to finish. Maggie Smith's masterful storytelling shines through in every aspect of this psychological thriller. From the intricate portrayal and development of characters to the gripping plot and pacing, I found myself utterly engrossed, unable to set the book aside until the very end.

The true spine-chilling element is the stalker, whose relentless pursuit leaves Rachel feeling unsafe even within her own home. The creeping sense of being watched intensified with each passing moment and kept me the edge of my seat. As the tension reached its peak, I embarked on a nail-biting journey, fervently hoping for Rachel's safety amidst the clutches of her stalker.

The revelation of the stalker's identity left me utterly stunned. But that wasn't the end of the surprises. Another shocking twist awaited me in the following chapter. I didn't see it coming.

Are you looking for a compelling, face paced page turner? Look no further than Blindspot by Maggie Smith. I could not put this down. All of us here at Thriller Book Promotions, The Pulse are loving this book so much.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this. Finished this book in practically one sitting. Maggie is amazing at keeping the reader hooked by her writing style. The story is constantly moving and just when you think you know what is going on, the twists turn you upside down. The characters are well developed and Rachel such a fun main character.

Thank you, @maggiesmithwrites and Puzzle Box Press, for my advanced copy of this murder thriller. My thoughts are my own. We at @thrillerbookloversthepulse are really excited for the release of this one on 5/21/24!

With short chapters, a fast pace, and a few secrets, this domestic thriller starts out strong and keeps on going right up to the shocking conclusion - which I did not predict! Told entirely from Rachel’s perspective, with a few flashbacks, Rachel makes for a likable and, at times, vulnerable main character. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and could not put it down.

This book was so captivating!! I could not put it down once I started it. The relationship between Rachel and her daughter was so interesting I loved every second of it. The mystery throughout the entire book had me hooked and wanting more! Definitely recommending this book.

A huge thank you to @maggiesmithwrites for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of Blindspot. As a reviewer with the team @thrillerbookloversthepulse this book will keep you guessing until the very end! Get ready for a thrill ride!

Rachel is a District Attorney with her star on the rise. A devoted single mother, she manages both her career and motherhood with the occasional teenage battle. When she attends an after work event, she meets a new friend Olivia and her off putting husband Zach. She can’t put her finger on what bothers her about this marriage, but she knows Zach cannot be trusted. Shortly after their meeting, Rachel begins to receive threatening phone calls, which quickly escalate to vandalism and a break-in. Then, out of the blue, Rachel runs into an old high school friend, Max, who is also a private investigator. Working together, they attempt to find out who is Rachel’s stalker. But when Zach is suddenly shot dead and Rachel is accused of the crime, it will take Rachel to look deep in her past to unravel the truth.

This was one of those books I couldn’t put down and couldn’t wait to see how it ended. I definitely recommend adding the Blindspot to your TBR.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
Rachel is a busy attorney with a teenage daughter. And then- her life gets crazier when she receives a bouquet of flowers with a message, and then a video and more. She can’t imagine who is stalking her and why? Could it be an unhappy client? As things escalate she worries for her life and her daughters. You won’t want to miss this book!

As a hardworking prosecutor and the mother of a teenage daughter, Rachel Matthews has quite enough on her plate even before she receives mysterious messages that indicate someone is stalking her.

When the unknown individual threatens her daughter, Rachel finds herself manipulated into a situation where she is framed for a crime she did not commit.

Her friend Max, a PI, was already helping her to try and identify the person concerned, but now there is an even stronger incentive to find out who is behind this!

This is a fast paced and intriguing read that succeeds in holding the reader's interest throughout. It gets 3.5 stars.

It seems someone is out to get Rachel, leaving her threatening messages and calling her at odd times. Getting her old PI buddy Max to help her find out who is behind it all eases the load of Rachel, who is busy at work at the district attorney's office. But when Rachel is linked to a crime, thanks to said stalker, she knows she needs to get herself out of this pickle and fast....or it will be her who is in the jail cell.

What a super addictive book this was! Fast paced with short chapters had me flipping through at rapid speed. There were a lot of twists that kept me intrigued and a big reveal that had my jaw dropping. Cleverly written, I think all thriller lovers will enjoy it.

The book is a page-turner, and the fast-paced tempo of the story will make it hard for you to put down. The characters are well-developed and will either make you fall in love with them or hate them. The author has done an excellent job of keeping the readers guessing throughout the book, and the ending is something that you won't see coming.

I just reviewed Blindspot by Maggie Smith. #Blindspotbook #NetGalley

This was a great story based on revenge. It was very fast paced and had nice character development. I was entertained throughout and highly recommend to others!

In Blindspot: A Psychological Suspense by Maggie Smith, an ambitious prosecutor on the hunt for her sadistic stalker finds herself framed for murder when he turns up dead.

Rachel Matthews is used to stress—from the cutthroat world of the district attorney’s office to her escalating clashes with her teenage daughter. So when a stranger sends a lavish bouquet with a macabre message and leaves a disturbing video on her doorstep, she’s quick to act. Teaming up with an old classmate turned private investigator, she wades through old case files, searching for someone harboring a grudge against her.

Blindspot is a very good "lawyer" drama. The first chapter already had a twist, which I liked. The story starts off with someone being killed, but the reader doesn't know who just yet. Clues are left along the way to reveal what occurred, and the story gives you plenty of action and red herrings to keep you turning the pages.

As the author mentions, Blindspot is about choices people make and their possible consequences. I enjoyed this fast-paced story and read it fairly quickly because I needed to know what would happen next. This is a good suspense thriller to add to your to-be-read list. I liked the characters, and the plot held my interest.

“The killer is sitting in this courtroom, and it’s up to me to prove it.”

Rachel Matthews is a rising star in the district attorney’s office trying to balance her career with caring for her teenage daughter Charley. She suddenly finds herself being harassed by a stalker and turns to an old classmate, who is an private investigator for help. Before they can identify who’d want to torture her this way and why, the stalker winds up dead and Rachel (who flees the scene) is the prime suspect.

This starts out with a bang and grabbed my interest immediately. With short chapters that left me wanting more, it was easy to fly through the pages! As a seasoned thriller fan, I did manage to figure out who was doing what, and why. That being said, despite knowing how things would play out, the level of tension made Blindspot a fast and fun suspenseful read! I would’ve liked more character development as some interpersonal connections seemed tenuous. What rang true for me, was the relationship between Rachel and Charley. Rachel’s fierce love of her daughter was undeniable! This is perfect for thriller fans who enjoy a legal element, buried secrets and a twisted game of cat-and-mouse!
