A brutal murder…
Tight-lipped friends…
And a hidden agenda.
But that's not even the beginning of secrets.


Heavy rains pour over a hidden crime scene erasing evidence of a killer.

Just after sunset, Detective Reece Cannon chases a thief into the desert near her small town — and finds the body of a young woman quietly murdered.

While searching for a motive, Reece is shocked that everyone from the victim's life denies close association. One by one, she must unravel the lies, seeking justice for the dead girl.

But the investigation suddenly hits too close to home when she becomes the killer's next target. As the body count rises, and the case takes a twisted turn, will she be the next one to disappear?

Can Reece see through the lies and put the pieces of the puzzle together before it’s too late? Nothing is as it seems.

Will she recognize the charade hiding in plain sight . . . Behind Open Eyes?

With shocking twists and fast-paced turns, this mystery thriller will keep you up and reading late into the night.

"Paul Knox tells the story of Detective Reece Cannon's investigation of two murdered women who were friends and had a lot in common. The story is told without a lot of grizzly details. If you like mysteries without all the blood and gore this writer is for you." —reader review

The story lacked in a lot of ways that I can't even explain at this point. I only finished it, hoping that it would get better. I don't know how to put my finger on it, but the story just didn't do a thing for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars READ 3 BOOK IN THE SERIES - FIRST
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Read this book Revenge, third in the series, first. Felt like it was enough of a stand alone story that I didn't miss anything by reading it first. I gave it 4 stars because I was about 30 to 40% thru the book before the story really captured my attention to keep me reading and not wanting to put the book down. The first part of the story would of held my attention more if hints to Lucky's identity were exposed earlier. I had my guesses, of course, but I would of been drawn into the story sooner with more information on how Lucky was living a double life so successfully. Thank you for an entertaining read!

I loved this series! Reece was set up as a character perfectly, giving her brains and cunning and strength. I really felt all of the characters were well represented as their individual selves. I took my kindle everywhere to read, so I would not miss a moment of time reading the books. Just sorry they ended.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read with an intriguing ending

This book was difficult to review. In the end the storyline was very good; the events all hung together: but as I was reading it at times you thought "No, that wouldn't happen" or "Why do that?".
Anyway a female detective in America working on a couple of cases at the same time. I saw the ending slightly before it happeneed but only just.
A good read, I looked forward to it each night; short sharp chapters etc etc. It didn't leave me wanting to follow up with any more in the series though.
Worth a read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little slow
Reviewed in Australia on March 7, 2021

Compared to Book 1 I found this story slow moving and really hard to get into. As the sort moved on the pace picked up but not enough to give it more stars. There needed to be more action, more suspense. I picked the murderer out quite early on and I love being kept guessing. Oh well you can’t have it the way you like it all the time.

I will continue to read this series as I do enjoy the writers style and I’ve become invested in Reece’s story.
