A #1 New York Times bestselling author and an Edgar Award winner team up to deliver this gripping new novel featuring investigator Kendra Michaels—whose observational skills are worthy of a modern-day Sherlock Holmes.

Delilah Winter is one of the hottest pop stars on the planet, so how in the world was she kidnapped right in the middle of a show at the famous Hollywood Bowl? If anyone can figure it out, it's Dr. Kendra Michaels, who works with local and federal authorities on only the most impossible cases. Blind for the first twenty years of her life until a revolutionary surgical procedure allowed her to regain her sight, Kendra uses her powers of observation—honed during her years in the dark—to detect what other investigators don't. She agrees to lead the race to rescue the young singer before time runs out.

Joined by Jessie Mercado, the singer's former bodyguard and a military hero, Kendra closes in on the hideout location but not before casualties mount up. Desperate for leads, Kendra must set aside her personal feelings when agent-for-hire Adam Lynch also volunteers his special skills to aid in the search.

But as the abductor's true purpose becomes clear, the trio uncover a plot they never could have imagined—leading to a showdown they won't soon forget.

Kendra Michaels is back on the case

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

If you haven’t been following the adventures of supersleuth Kendra Michaels, now is the time to get on the train. “Blink of an Eye,” book 8 in Iris and Roy Johansen’s best-selling series, might be their strongest entry yet.

The formerly blind and now-hyperperceptive consulting investigator Dr. Michaels (think Sherlock Holmes by way of Daredevil) once again finds herself pulled into peril when pop music superstar Delilah Winter, a personal friend, is kidnapped during a performance at the historic Hollywood Bowl. Kendra will need all her extraordinary talents, and the help of her resourceful crew, to get the songbird back alive.

Her supporting cast, including dreamboat covert operative Adam Lynch and tough-as-nails P.I. Jessie Mercado, share the spotlight in this book as never before — great news for fans of the ever-expanding Johansenverse of interconnected series and characters.

The installment is also notable for the memorable use of iconic Los Angeles locations as Kendra leaves her usual San Diego digs to crack a high-profile case in the noir-stained metropolis to the north.

The Johansens’ patented brand of spine-chilling suspense, Kendra’s romantic roller coaster ride with Lynch, scrappy heroines who don’t know how to quit — could this series be any more fun?

I recommend all of the Kendra Michaels books. Suggest you start with book 1, though. It would make sense that way.

Decent story, doesn’t feel like a typical Kendra Michaels story.

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023

I felt a bit off with this book. I felt it was more of a Jesse Mercado story than a Kendra Michaels. The writing too felt off, like it was written more by Roy than Iris. I look forward to Kendra’s interpretation of a scene, details by the dominance of her senses. There was really only one scene and that was about 80% through the story. Kendra seems very out of sorts when Lynch showed up.

Pop star Dee who had once hired Jesse Mercado as her security is kidnapped at her own concert where Kendra and Jesse are sitting in the audience. Noah Lynch is in Tibet but has sent Kendra some old sword which is never mentioned in the entire story but shows up at the right time. Jesse and Kendra work with the LA FBI and an old rich boyfriend of Dee’s to get her released by the kidnappers.

Suddenly Lynch returns for the negotiations throwing Kendra off. Even though Jesse is no longer on Dee’s security she is in every scene. Could there be a spinoff series of Jesse Mercado?

All of things that I have grown to expect from the Johansen's. Already looking forward to the next adventure. All of the characters in their novels keep the action and intrigue alive from the first page to the last.

Thank goodness Kendra is finally giving Lynch a chance! Yes he’s complicated, but he’ll, so is she! The point is, they both care deeply for each other and would go to battle for other. And even if they don’t admit it, their feelings are deep enough for each other to call love.

I love Kendra michaels

Everything I read by the dynamic
Johansen duo is a winner. When a famous young singer is kidnapped it is up to Kendra,Jessie and Lynch to rescue her with the help of the FBI of course. The book is fast moving with no hints as to who the kidnapped is. Sometimes you can figure out who the bad guy is almost right away. Not so with this book .

I liked this story as much as others in this series and, like the others, too many adverbs distracted the flow.

If I could have given this book a greater rating, I positively would have. I couldn't put this book down but,at the same time, I never wanted it to end. I highly recommend this fantastic read to all who have access to it. These authors have never failed this constant reader. I am counting the days until their next book to take me on my next reading adventure.
