About this ebook

Investigator Kendra Michaels -- once blind and known for her sharp skills -- puts her life on the line to catch a killer in this electrifying novel from the #1 NYT bestselling and Edgar Award-winning duo.
Dr. Kendra Michaels, blind for the first twenty years of her life before gaining her sight via a revolutionary surgical procedure, is a renowned investigator known for her razor-sharp senses -- honed during her years in the dark -- and keen deductive abilities.
Now her skills are needed uncomfortably close to home. Two staff members have been murdered at a school for the blind where Kendra spent her formative years. But the murders are puzzlingly dissimilar: one victim was brutally stabbed, while the other was killed by a bullet to the head. Are the crimes related? Or is Kendra on the hunt for more than one dangerous killer?
With the killer (or killers) still on the loose, Kendra must put her life on the line to unravel a terrifying conspiracy. But Kendra soon discovers that she herself may hold the key to the deadliest secret of all.

Ratings and reviews

Two staff members have been murdered at a school for the blind, where Kendra spent many of her younger years until she received a surgical procedure to restore her sight. She is a well known investigator who has honed all her senses and sharp deductive abilities. The two victims have no connection other than place of employment and one is stabbed and the other took a bullet to the head. Two killers? As Kendra throws herself wholeheartedly into the investigation, she unwittingly discovers that she, herself, holds the key to a deadly secret that could make her the target of a killer. This is a real page turner, suspense starting at the very beginning and holding it's pace until the very unpredictable ending. Although 7th in the series, this is easily read as a stand alone. As always, I recommend starting with the very first book as the recurring characters are memorable. Many thanks to the author / Grand Central Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

highly disappointing read. Multiple chapters of Kendra whining about how mad she is, then multiple chapters spent discussing how attracted she is, but shouldn't be, to Lynch. We as readers don't need all that to get the picture. This should be a short story. sorry I spent money on it.

I'm a huge fan of the Kendra Michaels series, but this story fell flat for me. Almost as if it were written the week before a due date.
