Look Behind You !! a new book by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen

(Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review this book)

The new book, Look Behind You, by authors Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen delivers mystery and fast paced suspense. Once I started reading, I did not want to put the book down. I don’t post spoilers, but will have to say, I really enjoyed reading this book! Although it is the fifth of the Kendra Michaels series, but is great as a stand alone book.                           

 Kendra Michaels is a therapist who incorporates music into her sessions as another way to reach those who are unresponsive or catatonic. She has the added benefit of being highly sensitive to details around her due to having been blind. She received her vision after a miraculous operation and still uses her refined skills of observation in everyday life and with her patients/clients.  

Kendra is visited by Detectives Metcalf and Gina Carson of the FBI and asked to help with a serial murder case. She does not enjoy the cases she has worked, but owes a favor to FBI director Griffin.   As the story progresses Lynch is back to protect Kendra as the search for a murderer gets priority due to the possibility this killer has not only killed three people, but for years has been committing murders in other cities with a different MO or method.   

Zachery, the murderer, is extremely intelligent and decides Kendra will be his major focus for his endgame. During the course of the story you will read glimpses of his heinous acts as he carries out his murderous plans on unsuspecting people he has targeted.

The banter between Kendra and her friends, Olivia and Jessie, and then the flirtation with Lynch keep the book from being too dark. I like the personable interaction of the characters.

The ending did surprise me…that is all I will say about that…Read the Book!

Another great book from this team of writers, Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen. (Pub Date 18 Jul 2017    )
