Search - Countdown (Eve Duncan, Bk 5)

This was Iris Johansen at her best. This book it really kept my attention and I picked it up every time I had a spare minute.

Another great Iris Johansen read! Terrific plot, great characters, very suspenseful.

Another Eve Duncan story. Eve's adopted daughter Jane is running for her life. Great book!!!

After a botched kidnapping attempt and the death of a friend, Jane MacGuire is running for her life. The only man who can help her is Mark Trevor, a con man who has his own reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe from a relentless killer. As Jane and Trevor try to solve a 2,000 year old mystery of Cira's gold, they need to stop international terrorists from carrying out their deadly plot.

This is a continuation of Johansen's previous book, Blind Alley. When I finished Blind Alley, I was relieved the hunt for Cira's gold was over. In this book we are hunting for it again, going up against international terrorists who want the gold too. I was so BORED with this story. At least the last 100 pages were somewhat interesting. And, I'm sorry to say, we still haven't found the treasure. I hope this plot isn't revisited in the next book or I may have to just give up on this series. My rating: 2 Stars.

The first "Jane MacGuire" book where Jane stars as the heroine. A good read with enough plots to keep the reader interested. We finally find out the whole story behind Cira, which ends the book nicely.

one of the best books yet
