She's learned to navigate the world around her through sound, smell, and touch, which is fine, except she's an Iris Johansen heroine, so her talents have to be absurdly superhuman.

Unfortunately, it looks like this is the beginning of a series, and it seems that Johansen's series tend to go downhill if they last too long. It was published post-"Bonnie," so maybe Johansen just needed a fresh start. Out of all the Iris Johansen books I've read, this one was probably the best. I didn’t exactly hate this book….just didn’t do it for me!!! Maybe book #2 will be better!!! Their interaction became so damn tiresome after a while. The romance between Adam and Kendra.sorry, did I say romance? No, there’s not even a flicker of heat between these two!! The bad guys are so idiotic that I could have solved the case myself. The agents are portrayed as totally stupid and ineffective and only KENDRA MICHAELS is the smart one! But not without giving the FBI agents a hard time. When her ex boyfriend and FBI agent, goes missing and her ex lover FBI agent, Adam Lynch asks for her help, she agrees. Kendra Michaels is reluctant to help the FBI again after some not so good interactions with them in the past. I found the premise of the story really good….a woman who regains her sight after being blind for twenty years and uses her talents to help people with problems by doing music therapy and she also helps the FBI solve cases. I can’t exactly say why this one was such a disappointment. and have read the entire series and a lot more of her other series, so I was looking forward to reading more about Kendra Michaels, who made an appearance in one of Eve Duncan latest books.
