More Than Meets the Eye is the 10th book in the Kendra Michaels series from the Mother/son team of Iris and Roy Johansen. "Serial killer James Michael Barrett agrees to a plea deal at his murder trial. He leads a group of FBI agents and local police to the site where he buried his last victim. As agents start to dig, they hit something metallic. There's a large explosion that kills Barrett and most of the agents. Soon there are murders very similar to the way Barrett killed his victims. Kendra Michaels is brought in to help find this new killer. She agrees to be helped by the only survivor of Barrett's attacks. But the killer has other plans for them both." If you're not familiar with Kendra - She was blind for the first 20 years of her life. She had a groundbreaking procedure that restored her sight. But her other senses remain super sharp. This allows her to see things and recognize things that others miss. She does that often in this book also but there is less of that in this story. This is more of a police procedural. And the way leads are followed is that Lynch "knows a guy" and gets information that way. (It happens that way a lot. Feels like a writer shortcut.) Previous books have all been fast-paced with terrifying killers. Not this one. It doesn't flow like the others. I attribute part of that to the plot device used. No spoilers - it is a different take on serial killers. I appreciate when authors try something new, but it seems awkward here. And it makes the story drag. If you're a Kendra Michaels fan or if you are looking for a new take on fictional serial killers you would enjoy this one.

I was just introduced to this book series recently and I listened to the audiobook of the first one while driving for work out of town this past week. THE FACE OF DECEPTION by Iris Johansen, read by Laurel Lefkow. This series currently has 28 books in it and another 3 book series that comes off of it. Eve Duncan is a forensic sculptor that helps to identify the dead by their skulls. Her own daughter murdered and her body never found, this is a personal way to come to terms with her own nightmare. Her most recent case has her reconstructing a skull nobody was supposed to ever see again and someone is determined to make sure she doesn’t live to tell about it. I plan to read through the rest of them but unfortunately my library only has about five random books from this series as audiobooks but they seem to have them all as ebooks so I’ll switch between the two. It’s really good and I highly recommend it. 5 stars! I didn’t realize it until after I was finished, but there’s no bad language, blood and gore, or romance. Those things don’t bother me but I know some prefer books without those things so I can recommend this one to them. I didn’t even miss any of it, it’s just a good story and well told. #audiobook #forensicsculptor #thefaceofdeception @l#irisjohansen #mystery #book #reading #bookseries @goodreads @the.storygraph @zoobean #5stars @libby.app #publiclibrary @bridgeportlibrarywv https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUnwyIlLx6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look what I got today from @grandcentralpub how exciting #bookstagram #bookmail #irisjohansen #royjohansen #Blinkofaneye https://www.instagram.com/p/CKo6CqKAXzt/?igshid=1gh7qpp9ntizb

Blink of an Eye is Book 8 in the Kendra Michaels series by the mother/son team of Iris and Roy Johansen. “Delilah Winters is one of the world’s hottest pop stars and a friend of Kendra Michaels and Jessie Mercado. When she is kidnapped from a concert, Kendra and Jessie race to find her. When a ransom swap goes horribly wrong, Kendra knows she must use all of her skills to find her before it’s too late.” Kendra uses many of her audio/listening skills to solve the kidnapping. There are examples of her “people reads” - some for setup, others to impact the story. We get to see more of Jessie and her background. And Lynch is still there creating tension in the room and in Kendra. I sort of guessed the bad guy. Just a feeling - nothing was given away in the story. The ending does happen in an interesting, unique place. The writing feels a little different from previous books like maybe the writing responsibilities have changed. Feels like more of an Iris book. Another series that seems under appreciated. Great female leads and great writing. This is another great book in the series. Fans of Kendra Michaels will want to add this to the 2021 Books -to-read list. Releases in February. Thanks to @netgalley and @grandcentralpub for the ARC. #blinkofaneye #irisandroyjohansen #irisjohansen #royjohansen #netgalley #grandcentralpublishing #advancedreadingcopy #kendramichaels #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookhaul #bookspines #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller #bookcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0lTYSgqD1/?igshid=17nm17lx67609
