Eve Duncan and her adopted daughter, Jane Macguire, are pitted against the members of a secretive cult who have targeted Jane and have decided that she will be their ultimate sacrifice. In eight days they will come for her. In eight days, what Jane fears the most will become a reality. In eight days, she will die. It all begins with a painting that Jane, an artist, displays in her Parisian gallery. The painting is called “Guilt” and Jane has no idea how or why she painted the portrait of the chilling face. But the members of a cult that dates back to the time of Christ believe that Jane’s blasphemy means she must die. But first, she will lead them to an ancient treasure whose value is beyond price. This elusive treasure, and Jane’s death, are all that they need for their power to come to ultimate fruition. With Eve’s help, can Jane escape before the clock stops ticking?
My thoughts
In Eight Days to Live, Eve Duncan and her adopted daughter Jane have been targeted by this secret cult. Jane has been selected as the ultimate sacrifice and has eight days until they come and get here. Iris Johansen has written some wonderful thrillers involving the Eve Duncan character and her villains are just so sinister. This particular book is more about Jane and not about Eve. Other than that, there is some interesting character development and the story itself fast-paced.
