In Close Your Eyes, The New York Times bestselling duo Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen are back with a suspenseful novel about a once-blind woman with a talent for tracking serial killers The FBI doesn't usually consult with music therapists to solve their cases. But Kendra Michael's astonishing powers of observation and analysis have made her a favorite of law enforcement agencies all across the country. Blind for the first twenty years of her life, she cares little for investigative work but can't deny her unique skill, or the results she's been able to facilitate. Kendra learned at an early age to become hyper-aware of her surroundings, perfecting the art of picking up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her. Like a secret weapon, she is in high demand. Former FBI agent Adam Lynch, known as The Puppetmaster, has weapons of his own. He's a notorious master manipulator, skillfully handling criminals and colleagues alike to get the results he wants. Now he needs Kendra's special brand of help, but she's not interested until Lynch reveals that Agent Jeff Stedler—Kendra's ex—is missing and may have run directly into the path of a serial killer. What began as a heinous murder investigation escalates into something even larger and more frightening: a multi-million dollar conspiracy to hide a secret that's worth killing for, again and again and again.

This broke my almost month-long slump.
I started and stopped so many books it's rather funny a very mid-book took me out of it. This is a solid 3.5 book.
The logic isn't there for some moments, and some of what the protagonist can do is entirely uncharted and unchallenged in the book. I do like the relationships Kendra has with her mom and her best friend, and the plot was nice enough, even though the story behind the murders was lacking and the way it was solved was kind of bland. The last death was so freaking stupid, ugh.
Even with the issues, sometimes you may need a quick and steady read to get you out of the funk this can be it for you.
