In the Blink of an Eye- Jo Callaghan
WE WILL BE MEETING ON WEDNESDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 7:30PM @ THE CHURCH HOUSE, CONGLETON TO DISCUSS THIS BOOK.
** As seen on BBC 2’s BETWEEN THE COVERS ***
In the UK, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds. Just gone. Vanished. In the blink of an eye.
DCS Kat Frank knows all about loss. A widowed single mother, Kat is a cop who trusts her instincts. Picked to lead a pilot programme that has her paired with AIDE (Artificially Intelligent Detective Entity) Lock, Kat’s instincts come up against Lock’s logic. But when the two missing person’s cold cases they are reviewing suddenly become active, Lock is the only one who can help Kat when the case gets personal.
AI versus human experience. Logic versus instinct.
With lives on the line can the pair work together before someone else becomes another statistic?
In the Blink of an Eye is a dazzling debut from an exciting voice and asks us what we think it means to be human.

REVIEW FROM BOOK CLUB MEETING.
Everyone agreed this was an easy read that was fast-paced and we enjoyed the humour throughout the book. Although the storyline was quite predictable, there were a couple of twists at the end that we didn’t see coming. This book also led to some really interesting discussions around the benefits and limitations of AI. We all agreed that we’d like to read and review the sequel when it is released next year. I think this is the first time our book club discussions have encouraged people to increase their ratings rather than deduct points!
