LOOK BEHIND YOU by Iris Johansen

Kendra Michaels works for both the FBI and the CIA as a hired gun. Kendra had been blind for the first twenty years of her life, but because of a miraculous surgical procedure, she can see again. Kendra's abilities are often brought in when there is a serial killer that needs to be taken out. She is called in on a very strange case where the killer leaves clues behind after he murders the victim.

Kendra noticed that the clues are souvenirs from several unsolved murders. Not only does the murderer leave these clues, but he also has knowledge of information that has never been released to the public. Now the killer is targeting people close to Kendra. None of this is making sense. Is the murderer after Kendra?

Iris and Roy Johansen write great mystery books. I think I have read most of them. Each one gets better and better. It is taking me longer to figure out who the murder is. I really like this series of books where Kendra Michaels is the main character. Now that Kendra can see, her other instincts are more powerful. LOOK BEHIND YOU is an intriguing and surprising mystery novel, which is what I have come to expect in this series.

I also enjoy how the mother/son team of Johansen feed off each other. I feel that one of them has a thought and the other one can finish it. Once again this book has several twist and turns. There is a little romance, but more a thriller than a romance.

Johansen also shows the deep friendship between Kendra and the people she cares about. Kendra cares not only about her friends but also the patient that she works with. I can't wait for the next Kendra Michaels book. I'm also hoping to see how her romance pans out! So if you are a fan of the Johansens, pick up this book—you really will enjoy it.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen and Edgar Award-winning author Roy Johansen are back with Look Behind You, a novel featuring Kendra Michaels—hired gun for both the CIA and FBI. A serial killer is on the loose in San Diego with a most unusual M.O. With each kill, the perpetrator leaves behind mystifying random objects. In this confusing array of unrelated evidence, the one thing that is clear is that the murders all have one characteristic in common: they all require the specific skills of Kendra Michaels, hired gun for both the CIA and FBI. Kendra, who was blind for the first twenty years of her life, gained her sight through a revolutionary surgical procedure and now uses her acute powers of observation to assist in cases all over the United States. FBI investigators soon make a startling discovery: the left-behind objects are actually souvenirs of other unsolved serial murder cases from around the country. And the new crimes feature “holdback” characteristics never disclosed to the general public—meaning that one single killer was behind the nation’s most notorious serial murder cases and has now come to challenge and taunt Kendra. The investigators—a “dream team” of profilers—join Kendra in the pursuit, but as the body count rises and the detectives themselves become the newest targets, Kendra must risk everything to defeat a psychopath whose terrifying plan is years in the making…
