Week 49 Review: Blink of an Eye

From Goodreads:

A #1 New York Times bestselling author and an Edgar Award winner, Iris and Roy Johansen, team up to deliver a 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. 

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book. I really enjoy this series, but this time, this book was personal to Jessie, which is a first, and I just had a great time reading about these characters and this current case that they're working on!

This mystery into the abduction of Delilah Winter, who Jessie bodyguarded for a period of time, and who now feels driven to find her. And media always says the first 72 hours in a kidnapping is the most vital, and this book just go go goes so quickly! Loved watching them investigate and Kendra utilize her observational talents! 

Of course, there's still some conflict between Kendra and Lynch leftover from the previous book. And they do work on it, but it starts off on a rough note because he hasn't communicated in a long time, working on a case in another country. Not cool, dude! But I enjoyed the developments in their relationship in this book! 

The synopsis tells us that there's more to this abduction that it appears. But I didn't put together was that purpose was, I had to learn it when it was revealed, and it was shocking, but it totally worked for what we knew. It just made that ending so spectacular, I really enjoyed how it turned out! 

This was another great read, and I'd love to continue this series!
