Product Information

Jo Callaghan makes her entry into the crowded police procedural genre with a fresh take on the buddy-buddy cop trope . . . Provocative and compelling' Vaseem Khan Seth and Miriam were on the run. Placed in impossible situations, and yet, Seth because of his genius thinking skills escaped.

This tells how an editor makes choices and cuts film - originally a physical cut - and how machines used to be large, noisy and heavy but have moved to be computers. A truly original premise that is both compelling and filled with heart. Highly recommended’ Olivia Kiernan Pros: A solid 5 stars for creativity, dimensional and diverse characters, insightfulness regarding AI replicating humans (or should humans be replicating AI??), and a well-executed plot with cheeky humour peppered throughout. Phrases like, convention of penguins (At a University awards ceremony.) And she borrowed legs from a horse made for a humorous story. But the humor didn’t take away from the tension. fifth, Muslims won't sentence a punishment on anyone without proof or witness. to blindly punish others is just plain ridiculous. no one with wits will do that.seventh, no Muslim woman would be able to feel comfortable without her veil let alone wearing a fitted dress.

The writing is meticulous and crisp. The characters are multilayered, talented, and resourceful. And the plot is a compelling web of clues, deduction, lies, obsession, manipulation, violence, and murder.

This book contained a good bit of content. Most of it stemmed from the few Muslim extremists. Again, I will say my disclaimer that I understand that this is real life, however, arranged marriages, polygamy, vague mentions of the relations between a husband and wife and violence such as killings, the mindset of “owning a woman” etc. were prevalent in the Saudi Arabia parts of the book. Like I said, I know this is real life, but it was a little creepy for me. Blink of an Eye by Ted Dekker was definitely a different read than some of the other books I have read by Dekker - The Bride Collector and Boneman's Daughters, for example - but this novel did not disappoint me. Multi billionaire and social media giant, Noah Calderon steps forward and offers to front the money. He states he has had a previous relationship with Delilah and wants to help and begins to take part in the investigation and planning for the ransom drop.

Miriam’s sudden insertion into American culture felt rater unrealistic. The author excused it away with two things, 1) she had spent a summer in Berkley and 2) she was intoxicated with her newfound freedom. I can see the point of the second a little bit, but I feel like it contradicted her character. She had a very strong moral code and to all of a sudden in a day’s time be such an old hand at flirting made no sense. She was totally comfortable with flirting, and just being alone with a man in general. That felt very unrealistic. I understand the circumstances were far from ideal, but she could have shown a bit of restraint/uncomfortableness. I listened to this audiobook while driving from Salt Lake City Utah, to Las Vegas and then down through L.A.. It was a great time waster. Daring and original, heartbreaking and heart-stopping, this study of what it means to be human is destined to not only be a big success, but a classic crime novel of our times. Loved it’ Caz FrearIt’s rare I read a book twice since there are so many books I’d like to read. However, “Blink of an Eye,” I reread. Iris Johansen is a New York Times bestselling author.

Their are already groups from both families trying to find Miriam in America- Seth has his hands full trying to keep out of their reach. He is seeing longer and more clearly, multiple futures- options. As their enemies converge, however, he finds a weakness in the gift: he can only "see" while he's awake. Clever and compelling, it offers a new take on the police procedural while also examining what it means to be human and the personal cost of loss’ Brian McGilloway Initially, the script for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, had scenes with Joel’s ex-girlfriend, Naomi.
