I have been looking for a good police-procedural book for some time, and In the Blink of an Eye by Jo Callaghan didn’t disappoint. I love trying to figure out mysteries in a book, but when the book shows how police detectives might solve a case is truly intriguing.
When Detective Chief Superintendent, Kat, is approached to pilot a new program pairing her with an AIDE (Artificially Intelligent Detective Entity), Lock, she is hesitant. She is determined to prove human instinct takes precedence over a machine when it comes to solving cold cases.
My favorite part of the story is Lock, of course. He made me laugh in his responses, but it also made me wonder how much AI is actually used in police work these days. It was obvious that the author, Callaghan, had done her research about AI and genomics to write an interesting book.
I loved the twists at the end, and the book wrapped up nicely.
I gave this book four out of five stars. Callaghan is a strong writer and definitely kept me entertained.
Thank you to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster, and Jo Callaghan for my free copy of this book. This review is my honest opinion.
