Eve Duncan’s mission in life is to bring closure to the families who have experienced the agony of a missing child. As a forensic sculptor, she is able to piece together bones, create a face, and bring an identity to a child who would have otherwise gone unidentified…maybe forever. Eve is brilliant, and driven, and tormented--because her own daughter, Bonnie, was taken from her years ago. And Eve has never discovered what happened to her. But now a name from the past resurfaces, thanks to CIA agent Catherine Ling who knows all too well what it’s like to lose a child.
After teaming up with Agent Ling to find her missing son, Eve and Catherine share a bond forged by their mutual pain. Now, Catherine challenges Eve with a name: John Gallo. A man from Eve’s past. A man, seemingly raised from the dead, whose whereabouts are unknown. Could Gallo be the missing piece to the puzzle that has haunted Eve for years? Why was he in Atlanta just before Bonnie’s disappearance? With a brilliant narrative that goes back to Eve Duncan’s early life, exploring her history and motivations like no other novel before, Eve reveals long-guarded secrets and is guaranteed to leave Johansen fans panting for more—soon to come in Quinn (October 2011).
My thoughts
Eve is the first in a trilogy of stories by Iris Johansen that delves into the characters that she has created. This one digs deep into the life of Eve Duncan, the Forensic sculptor that is obsessed by the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie and trying to find her murdered and bring her daughter home. I thought that after all this time, that the character would have been played out, but Ms. Johansen has added another level and we go back to Eve’s life and learn what makes her tick, her love for her child, the relationship with the father and the explosive climax that makes this thriller exciting. I can’t wait for the second book in this trilogy!
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the Amazon.com Vine program. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
