When Kendra Michaels receives a cryptic message from her sometimes-paramour Adam Lynch, she concludes that he must be in extreme danger—the kind where he can’t trust his FBI and Justice department colleagues to rescue him. Lynch has saved Kendra’s life during past investigations so she’s immediately willing to put everything on the line for him.
With her heightened senses, honed in the dark before she regained her eyesight in a cutting-edge surgical procedure, Kendra knows she can do what the federal agents cannot. So along with private investigator Jessie Mercado, Kendra is soon following the first intriguing clue to London.
What they find there will lead to a chase with deadly stakes because Lynch is willing to risk it all to protect something he believes is bigger than himself. Something that could change life for everyone on the planet…if only they live long enough to share the truth.
Kendra Michaels returns in the twelfth book in this engaging series by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen. Kendra is an exceptional woman. She was blind for the first two decades of her life, and over the years she developed extraordinary observational skills. It is these very skills that now make her uniquely gifted at solving complex cases.
In Wait and See, Kendra is drawn into an unusual investigation that quickly points toward a highly intelligent and dangerous killer. The deeper she becomes involved, the more complex and compelling the case becomes, leading her through a web of clues that also lead to a challenging and intricate puzzle.
This installment is a strong addition to a series I have enjoyed from the very beginning. The Johansens consistently deliver cleverly plotted stories with engaging characters and well-paced suspense. I continue to appreciate Kendra’s uniqueness, particularly her heightened perception and intuition, which set her apart as a protagonist. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series.
