When a high-tech gadget she discovered at her latest suicide cleanup gets a detective--and former lover--killed, Alex is propelled into the kind of dangerous plot spy novels are made of. Wyatt Murphy, the brooding deep cover agent shadowing her every move, makes Alex yearn for things she's never wanted before. But can Alex trust the sexy stranger to keep her safe without stealing her heart?

Okay. So not all of her books are total page turners.
This one was ridiculous and the heroine was borderline stupid.
Never mind. On to the next one.

Another classic Romantic Suspense from Debra Webb.
This is a story about a woman who owns a cleaning company that takes care of cleaning gory death sites and/or hoarding houses after the owner dies or leaves. The heroine finds something of significant value at a supposed suicide site She notifies her cop friend, who says he's taking it to a computer nerd friend before he brings it into the police lab. Suddenly, people start dying and the heroine is being watched by an "agent" she has never seen before. That's when things get even more interesting and the roller-coaster ride keeps dipping and turning until the very end!
I LOVED IT!!!

This book could have been really good if it had been longer. As it was, the ending seemed rushed. Wyatt and Alex aren't even introduced until half way through the book then all of a sudden they're involved and he's decided to retire from the CIA.
When the story starts out, Alex is called upon to clean up a crime scene. It's part of what she does at her business Never Happened. She cleans up other people's messes. In this case, a man killed himself, or so it seems, and there's a lot of blood. So she comes in to make it all go away. The detective on the case is her former lover, Hitch who's been wanting to get back with her. He's a great guy but she doesn't want a commitment of any kind. At forty years of age, she's past the point of needing a man in her life. She dates occasionally but concentrates mainly on her business. They talk while Alex waits for the man's body to be removed from the scene. Once everyone is gone, including Hitch, she gets to work.
What She finds is the basis of the plot. It's an eyeball, the dead man's eyeball which must have popped out when he shot himself in the head. What's on the eye itself is a very weird looking contact lens. Certain she's stumbled upon something important, Alex calls Hitch. He comes back and gets it, telling Alex he's going to take it to a friend of his to have it analyzed. Later that night he calls Alex and tells her it's loaded with classified government information and he's going to turn it in the next day. However, he never gets a chance to as he's killed in a car accident shortly after talking with Alex.
While the police believe Hitch simply fell asleep at the wheel, Alex doesn't think so. He sounded perfectly fine when she talked to him. Excited, in fact. Then his friend who analyzed the lens dies when his house blows up. Coincidence? Alex is positive that wasn't the case and vows to find out what is going on. That's when Wyatt enters the picture. All he wants to do is keep her safe, he assures her, which is why he's been following her. He urges her to give him the lens but she isn't certain she can trust him. I won't tell you how she got it back so as not to give anything away, but suffice it to say her life is in danger. Some very bad people want what is on the lens and will stop at nothing to get it, even murder.
As I said, I really enjoyed the plot. It had kind of a James Bond sort of feel to it and the characters were the kind you'd like to know more about, but it's shorter length didn't do it justice. Even so I'm glad I read it. You might want to try it too.

A punto he estado de ponerle una solo estrella a este libro.
El principio me gustó y lo empecé con muchas ganas. La protagonista era muy interesante y madura. Sin embargo, conforme ha ido avanzando me ha empezado a aburrir y algunas cosas que hacÃa me parecÃan un poco ridÃculas. La relación amorosa me ha dejado frÃa. Una de las cosas que más me estaban gustando es que parecÃa que ella era muy independiente, con una vida sexual activa y daba la impresión de que no tenÃa pareja estable porque no habÃa encontrado un hombre que mereciera la pena. Al final, resulta que no. La escritora prefirió convertirlo en una fobia al compromiso. Algunas partes del libro eran un poco repetitivas (¿cuántas veces tenÃa que recordarnos que su ex amante habÃa muerto?).

When I pick up a Debra Webb book I expect to read a great book and every time I get what I expect. I loved What She Doesn't See. This book was a bit different from Webb's usual books because the main male character was a CIA agent so that threw me for a second but once I got over who Wyatt worked for I really liked this handsome agent. As for the Alex character her profession of cleaning up after death and things last like that is something I could never do but I found her absolutely fascinating. Anyone who could do that job would be a person I would love to sit down and just talk too and her views on relationships was also very interesting to say the least.
As for the plot of the book I also highly enjoyed that. It was very steadily paced and action filled. There was never a dull moment in this book from the mess Alex got into with the device she found to some of the jobs she had to clean up. I am not going to give details for spoiler reasons but this woman did not have a dull moment.
With all that said, I am going to highly recommend this book and give it five out of five stars.

Debra Webb is one of my favorite authors, and What She Doesn't See doesn't disappoint. This book had a very interesting technology-related plot twist, and I loved the overall feel of the book, sort of a cross between a thriller and a spy novel. I highly recommend reading any of Debra Webb's book, and for my friends who love murder mysteries and spy thrillers, you'll love this book!

I'm a big fan of Debra Webb but this book was a miss for me. It would have had a lot of potential if it had been longer. At this length, I wish she had just cut out the romance aspect. It was so rushed and felt completely unbelievable. The couple doesn't even meet until halfway through the book. They barely talk, sleep together once, and apparently they now love each other. The mystery had promise but the rest just took away from it.

Alex Johnson has her own business as a clean up person. As she is cleaning up her latest crime scene, she finds a unique contact lens. She gives it to the cop at the scene and he brings it to his tech friend. The next morning her cop friend is dead and the tech's house has exploded. Now will they come after her? And who can she trust to help her? This is a great, fast read. It doesn't disappoint!
March 23, 2017
I find it hard to like a book where the H/hr don't meet until at least halfway, yet have some sort of instant-lust connection when they finally do. The case had an interesting build-up, until it sort of fell apart at the end when it was all abruptly solved and cleaned up, almost as though the author had tired of it and was impatient to wrap the story up.
August 15, 2015
this is another winner for Debra Webb I highly recommend this book u will never see the ending coming and I will be reading this one again . I try to get my hands on any suspense novels debra writes and I am so glad I do. you will not be disappointed with this book.
