Beth Hudson is back with the second volume of the JJ Johnson Suspense Series.

The series’ debut novel, “The View from the Fishbowl,” introduces readers to JJ Johnson, a young man who was left paralyzed and mute in a car accident as a teenage boy. Now a quadriplegic, he resides at the Cedar Hills group home, where he can receive the round-the-clock care he needs… and where he seems to find himself in the middle of some precarious situations.

In this follow up, “Disabling Evil,” JJ continues to overcome the limitations of his disability, as he and his friends at Cedar Hills are thrust yet again into the midst of sinister characters.

JJ befriends the young son of a staff member and soon finds out that he may be the target of a child predator. JJ and the gang at Cedar Hills are determined to protect their own, and work to reveal the stalker’s identity and his crimes.

Although the story arc of this follow-up is not as riveting as its counterpart, Elizabeth Hudson continues to open readers’ eyes to the experiences of living with a disability.

Hudson is a former resident of Tupper Lake, where she spent the majority of her adult life working at Sunmount DDSO. Her background in special services is evident in her ability to immerse readers into JJ’s life. She seamlessly puts her audience into the perspective of a quadriplegic, a mindset that is foreign, if not impossible for the majority of us to have imagined on our own.

The most impressive aspect of this perspective is that Hudson finds a way to make JJ’s disability fade from the story; oftentimes readers may find themselves forgetting JJ has a disability at all, until it is thrown back at them in a disarming manner — a tactic that forces her audience to understand that JJ, and all individuals living with a disability, are no different than any other human being, experiencing the same thoughts, desires and emotions as us all.
