I have always been fascinated with the the way the human body deals with the senses. When a person loses one sense, the others seem to be enhanced. Each sense is vital, but as a reader, the sense of sight is priceless to me. Kendra Michaels is a music therapist who found success despite her blindness. Her powers of observation and deduction also make her quite valuable to those in law enforcement. While surgery helped with her vision, her extraordinary powers remain and still amaze people. This book starts with an odd murder in the first chapter. The second chapter finds Kendra on a blind date her mother arranged. While getting to know each other over drinks, Kendra notices something strange on television...an accident that isn't really an accident. Once at the scene itself, Kendra convinces the police that they are looking at the murder of four people.
One murder seems to follow another in this fast paced book, and Miss Michaels must deal with an apparent copycat serial killer. The killer is attempting to entice her by replicating some of the murders which she helped solve earlier in her career. While she attempts to find the killer however, he is attempting to find her.
I found this book to be well written and hard to put down in some spots. I am glad Ms. Johansen decided to start a new series (this is book 2) and introduce us to a memorable new character. I do enjoy series but believe they need to reach an end point.
I love the fact that this book was written by a mother/son team. Roy has had an interesting writing career of his own, writing screenplays, collaborating with comic book legend Stan Lee in creating The Accuser superhero character, which appeared in a series of animated adventures, and writing several best selling mystery novels. The mom in me just loves that these two successful writers can work around the parent/child relationship and produce a really good book.
