In The Blink of An Eye by Jo Callaghan
5.0
4.5 stars
I have a strange love/hate relationship with crime thrillers. On the one hand, I love them (especially Chris Carter) because of the murder plots and graphic crime scenes. But then I hate them because I find the majority of crime thrillers to all be the same.
I saw this and was drawn in by the cover. Then I read the blurb and I thought an AI detective sounded pretty cool. I had no expectations tbh.
I was pleasantly surprised. The female MC, Kat, was actually really likable but it's her interaction with Locke, the handsome male AI detective that really sold it for me. I know he's not real but they had chemistry and not in a s*xual way.
The writing was easy to read, unlike some crime thrillers I find and I enjoyed reading about every aspect of the case and how the humans and AI detectives had to work together.
I had a small issue with the plot itself. It got a bit "really?" at one point but overall I really loved this book and will be reading the second book in the series which apparently is already out.
Recommended for crime thrillers lover who fancy reading something a little different.
