A gripping psychological thriller played out in cyberspace, from the bestselling author of Chocolat and The Lollipop Shoes."Once there was a widow with three sons, and their names were Black, Brown and Blue. Black was the eldest; moody and aggressive. Brown was the middle child, timid and dull. But Blue was his mother's favourite. And he was a murderer."Blueyedboy is the brilliant new novel from Joanne Harris: a dark and intricately plotted tale of a poisonously dysfunctional family, a blind child prodigy, and a serial murderer who is not who he seems. Told through posts on badguysrock@webjournal.com, this is a thriller that makes creative use of all the disguise, deception and mind games that are offered by playing out one's life on the internet.

This book was recommended to me and I am very happy it was as it introduced me to a brand new author. Like most British mystery writers, Ms. Harris has nailed the creepiness factor withoout having to use gross displays of violence to "get her point across". This book almost had the feeling to me of ...
REALLY liked this one! So different from her other novels, I was hooked from the get go!
