In Blindsighted, did you enjoy ...

... a forensic, clue-by-clue hunt for a sadistic killer that puts a determined investigator in the crosshairs?

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen

If you were gripped by Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver piecing together Sybil Adams’s murder from grim medical details in Blindsighted, you’ll lock into The Surgeon. Detective Jane Rizzoli and trauma surgeon Catherine Cordell chase a predator who replicates surgical precision, and every autopsy note and crime-scene thread tightens the noose much like the methodical pursuit in Grant County.

... an unflinching, bleak procedural that refuses to look away from cruelty?

The Treatment by Mo Hayder

The way Blindsighted stares down the brutality of that diner bathroom and the ripple of trauma through Lena Adams and the town is echoed in The Treatment. DI Jack Caffery digs into a case of abduction and abuse that grows darker with every lead—its atmosphere is as raw, tense, and relentless as Grant County at its most harrowing.

... intercut investigator perspectives that gradually expose a community’s buried secrets?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

If you liked how Blindsighted weaves Sara, Jeffrey, and Lena’s angles into a fuller picture of Grant County’s secrets, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo uses Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander’s alternating vantage points to unravel decades-old rot inside the Vanger family. That shifting lens delivers the same layered revelations you enjoyed as the case widened around Sybil’s murder.

... psychologically scarred investigators confronting small-town rot and buried family wounds?

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

If Lena Adams’s grief and anger—and Sara and Jeffrey’s fraught history—drew you in, Sharp Objects dives just as deep. Reporter Camille Preaker returns to her claustrophobic hometown to cover a murder, peeling back layers of trauma, self-harm, and poisonous family dynamics with the same intimate psychological intensity that made Grant County feel so raw.

... explicit, unsettling crime scenes rendered with clinical precision and escalating dread?

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris

If the shocking violence of Sybil’s murder in Blindsighted and the stark autopsy details stuck with you, Red Dragon ratchets that unease higher. FBI profiler Will Graham hunts a meticulous killer while Harris’s forensic clarity and chilling tableaux create the same stomach-dropping intensity that Slaughter brings to Grant County’s worst moments.
