Review: Double Blind - Iris & Roy Johansen

From Goodreads: Kendra Michaels, formerly blind and now a hired gun for law enforcement agencies who relies on her razor-sharp powers of observation, is reluctant to help the FBI with the most recent case they’ve brought to her. But then she hears the details: the body was found just blocks away from Kendra’s condo. The young woman was carrying an envelope with Kendra’s name on it, and inside was an SD card with what appears to be an innocuous video of a wedding reception. The woman died trying to get the video to Kendra, but for what purpose? Before Kendra and the FBI can answer that question, the bride is abducted from her suburban home.

And so the hunt is on for a killer whose nightmarish plan is slowly becoming clear. A plan that involves a powerful law firm and a multi-billion dollar corporation. As the body count rises, Kendra joins forces with private investigator Jessie Mercado and agent-for-hire Adam Lynch to stop the plot as it grows ever closer to its terrifying conclusion.

In Double Blind, Iris and Roy Johansen deliver an emotional, gripping new entry in the bestselling Kendra Michaels series.

My Thoughts: Iris Johansen and her various series are on my must read list and I was thrilled to have a chance to review the latest installment of the Kendra Michaels series, which Ms. Johansen wrote with her son, Roy Johansen.

This is the book that many fans have been waiting for. A fast paced thriller, a great mystery, strong characters, emotional tension, and more. I devoured it and already want to re-read it!

Kendra's keen powers of observation put her once again in the middle of an FBI investigation, this time because the victim had an envelope with Kendra's name on it. Kendra has to call on Adam Lynch once again for his support, as well as investigator Jessie Mercado, as the case becomes more perilous and the killer begins to go after those Kendra cares about.

I'm intrigued by the ending here and anxious to see how and where the story progresses. This could be a standalone book, but I think having some background on the relationships of the recurring characters helps make it a fuller and more enjoyable reading experience.
