Look Behind You by Iris and Roy Johansen

Kendra, a formerly blind psychologists (?), is called in by the FBI for certain cases.  This one is a serial killer who has used different methods in different areas of the country.  Kendra puts together the clues that the "dream team" of profilers can't.

I didn't like Kendra.  I wouldn't go as far as I disliked her, but I was kind of meh on her and all the characters really.  The plot was good, but I didn't call for the ending.

3 stars.

The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger

Audio

This book did not translate well to audio form, too much reading of addresses and email info.  I probably would enjoy it in book form.

Didn't finish, so no rating.

All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

Allison is a stress-out wife and mother who turns to opioids to help her cope.  Novels follows her decline and ascent.  I liked the novel, but wish the author hadn't given her quite so many problems.
