Flashback

By: Iris Johansen, Roy Johansen

Narrated by: Elisabeth Rodgers

Kendra Michaels uses her heightened powers of deduction to draw out a serial killer who has not been seen or heard from in over fifteen years.

Chloe and Sloane Morgan were only children when their mother was the second victim of the Bayside Strangler. Now, after spending years trying to discover his identity, the sisters have suddenly vanished. Were they getting too close to the truth? The police consider their interest in the crime to be just a coincidence and have little motivation to pursue the cold case.

Armed with a box of photos, videos, police reports, and notes gathered by the sisters over the years—plus the extraordinary senses from being blind before recovering her sight via a revolutionary surgical procedure—Kendra follows the sisters’ trail of clues. Little does she realize that her search is about to unleash a long-dormant killer on San Diego. With help from government agent-for-hire Adam Lynch, Kendra must race to discover the identity of an infamous killer, not only to save the lives of the two sisters but also untold others.

Critic reviews

"Relentless action and dastardly villains keep the pages turning. Johansen...delivers the goods." —Publishers Weekly on Killer View

“[A] breakout direction for the prolific Johansen thriller franchise.” —Booklist on Killer View

"A thrilling blend of physical and psychological tension that showcases the fierce intelligence, grit, and determination of their female protagonists.” —Booklist on Blink of an Eye

“Engrossing… Kendra has ample opportunity to display her keen deductive skills as the suspenseful plot builds to an explosive finale. Series fans will be well satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly on Blink of an Eye

Short but decent

This book was shorter than the other Kendra Michaels and I felt a little cheated. However, the plot was decent and I was refreshing to see Kendra not fight her feelings for Adam so much. It is silly to keep turning your back on that type of love out of fear of losing yourself in the relationship. Adam has been way more patient with her nonsense than many would have been. Kendra had a couple of unusual YSTL moments which is not like her. The end was relatively happy and I love happy endings, realistic or not. Narrator is consistently good.

Over the top

Unrealistic. I couldn't get through to the end. The sexism is nuts. Kendra can't seem to do anything without a dude holding her hand.

I love the Kendra Michaels series

I love all the Kendra Michaels books. I like the way she finds details that even the highly trained observant miss. I wish there were more books with her and Lynch avaliable. Also, to have the two missing books on audible.

Great

Wonderful just like all her books, keep my interest from beginning to end, loved it.

Unrealistic story ending

Verbalization of male roles - didn’t like the gruffness and too much alike . Didn’t work for me
