Eve by Iris Johansen

Eve by Iris Johansen

This year Johansen is finally going to answer the question the fans of her Eve Duncan series have been burning to know: Who killed Bonnie?  Years ago Eve’s seven-year old daughter was abducted from a local park on a school field trip.  Eve knows her daughter is dead, but she needs the closure of bringing Bonnie’s bones home.  She also needs to know who killed her little girl, and why.  In this book we learn all about Eve’s past and the identity of the father of her daughter.  Eve’s job as a forensic sculptor is put on hold as she tries to solve the mystery which has become her obsession.

An interesting combination of romance, thriller and mystery, even those who haven’t followed the series for years will be able to enjoy the twists and turns found here.  This book works well on audio even though the voice of one of the characters didn’t quite seem to fit, but I got used to it over time. 

This is the first in a trilogy coming out over the course of 2011.  Next is the series will be Quinn followed by Bonnie.
