A Thriller Award winner, Best Paperback Original Novel.
For three years, Detective Jude Fontaine was kept from the outside world. Held in an underground cell, her only contact was with her sadistic captor, and reading his face was her entire existence. Learning his every line, every movement, and every flicker of thought is what kept her alive.
After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice—and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead. Despite colleagues’ doubts about her mental state, she resumes her role at Homicide. Her new partner, Detective Uriah Ashby, doesn’t trust her sanity, and he has a story of his own he’d rather keep hidden. But a killer is on the loose, murdering young women, so the detectives have no choice: they must work together to catch the madman before he strikes again. And no one knows madmen like Jude Fontaine.

I enjoyed the book a lot. Jude is an interesting main character, and you will root for her as she tries to fight her personal demons and do her investigations. You will hear about her ordeal in the basement -- and it's horrible -- but thankfully it is treated quickly in the beginning of the book and then is just brief flashbacks later on. I found the book to be fast-paced and interesting, with a satisfactory ending.
PERFORMANCE - Good job, nothing particularly remarkable however.
OVERALL - This book has no actual sex acts, but there is mention of past rape and the F-word occurs a couple times. There are multiple murders, one including mutilation, and the above-mentioned description of Jude's torture. I would recommend The Body Reader equally for men and women. I tend to be overly sensitive and don't like a lot of violence in my stories, but this book remained within my personal comfort zone.
Go Jude!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because the characters are damaged and full of complexity but they also stumble forward despite the worst imaginable having happened. This is the best Anne Frasier I've listened to thus far.Who was your favorite character and why?
Obviously, my favorite character is Jude. She's irrepressibly human and is allowed to evolve while retaining both her vulnerability and her fearlessness.What does Emily Sutton-Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Perfect narration and pace.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I wanted to listen without stopping. After reading the book summary I was afraid I'd have to fast forward past gruesome passages and was relieved when I could just listen to Jude's "after" life and journey without reservation. It made me want to cheer the resilience of the human spirit.Any additional comments?
I would love this as a series.Excellent
