The Naked Eye edition by Angela Kay Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews


  • Eight friends rent a lodge in Aspen to do some skiing. However, plans take a drastic change when a blizzard sets in and one of the friends ends up dead, in a locked room. Luckily, the man who brought the group to the lodge is Lieutenant Davis who is the father of Bridget Davis, one of the lodgers. Due to the storm, there is no way in or out and they are shut in with the dead body of Lauren Crusher and the killer. Everyone is a suspect, including the lieutenant, but Davis has a job to do until help can be contacted. All seven remaining friends seem to have had problems with the deceased in varying degrees. As Davis interviews each of the friends and searches their rooms for evidence, can he figure out how Lauren died and who wanted her dead?

    The Naked Eye by Angela Kay is a short mystery. Although short on word count, Kay uses her skill as a storyteller to define each character and set up a plot that gives a surprising twist at the end. Kay never fails to drop small hints that you realize only once you’ve finished one of her stories. As with her novels, this short story is heavy on detail, including a rich setting, real characters and well-defined plot.

    I highly recommend this short story for anyone who just wants a quick mystery to entice them, for those who’ve read Kay’s other three novels (The Murder of Manny Grimes, Blood Runs Cold, and I Can Kill) or anyone who is new to her work.

    I was given a free copy of this short story for an honest review.
  • I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

    The Naked Eye is a short story but it has all of the elements of a good murder mystery. It opens with the body of a girl found in a locked room at a ski resort. With a blizzard raging outside, it’s obvious that if her death wasn’t an accident, then one of the people in the cabin is a murderer…and no one can go anywhere any time soon!

    There are many characters in this story, all of the people stranded in the cabin, but it’s pretty easy to keep them all straight. Lt. Davis is the main character. He’s the dad of one of the vacationers and is only staying there because of the weather. Little did he know he was going to try to find a murderer. He has to comb through all of the evidence on his own, and it seems that something new comes up at every turn.

    Many secrets are revealed during Lt. Davis’s investigation but would any of them be cause for murder? A great read with a good twist at the end.
  • With The Naked Eye, Angela Kay gives us everything that goes into a gripping murder mystery and packs it into a quick read that keeps us guessing from page one. The story opens with a dead body, a locked room, and lots of questions. Everyone is a suspect, and the motives run the gamut with everything from jealousy to greed and secrets that some don't want revealed. Add in that this group is stuck in a cabin, and there's a snowstorm raging outside making roads impassable. That leaves Lieutenant Davis to figure out the answers on his own - Is is murder or some kind of accident? With lots of red herrings and a great twist, this one kept me turning pages. The book is easily read in one sitting while still giving us the great writing and mystery of a full length novel from this author.
  • Variation on a classic scenario. Nine college-age friends, stuck in a ski lodge by a raging blizzard with their driver, police lieutenant father of one of the girls. One of them, a 23-year-old is found dead behind a locked door. What killed her and if it were murder who, how, and why?
