About this listen

A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

When former agent Adam Lynch, known as the Puppetmaster, approaches her about a possible serial murder case, she is determined to steer clear. But he’s a notorious manipulator, skilled at handling criminals and colleagues alike to get the results he wants. And now he holds a trump card: The latest possible victim is Kendra’s ex-lover, an FBI agent who vanished without enough clues to follow - unless Kendra can pick up the trail. And if she can’t, she just might close her eyes again ... forever.

Main character is a little annoying

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I did like the story line but the main character had a little bit of a persecution complex. Everyone is trying to "use" her because of her "gift". They want to make her be part of the investigation. She’s not too likable despite her overcoming a disability. I did like hearing the observation skills on things that everyone else would have probably overlooked. I’m not sure I would buy another book about this character.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Another murder mystery

Which scene was your favorite?

Main character describing what was out of place in the victim's apt

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Not sure. It would depend on who plays the main person

EXCELLENT START TO A GREAT SERIES!!!

I don't know why the ratings aren't a little higher for this book. The story was very in-depth and the characters extremely interesting. The narrator was a perfect choice. The main character, Kendra Michaels, truly makes this story so interesting. At the end of the story, I'm excited about moving on to the next release in the series.

Well worth the credit!

Love surprise endings

Kept moving and did not bog down. Was hoping this would be a series. Will look for more mysteries from these authors. Appreciated no foul language or expletive bedroom scenes.

Johansens did NOT disappoint!

Loved the use of Kendra Micheals' extraordinary abilities from being born blind still weave in to how she sees the world after getting a stem cell Tx that gave her ability to see now. She is not at all meal or worried about what other people care as her goal is to get the job done wirh the least amount of arguing with her by she's always right anyway. Lol
