Search - The Face of Deception (Eve Duncan, Bk 1)

First in the Eve Duncan series. I was impressed by this book and I enjoyed it a lot. I highly recommend this book.

This is a wonderful book about her character Eve Duncan. It gives more insight into who Eve is and what motivates her in her work and the feelings that she has for Joe Quinn.

LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis summons his friend, psychologist-sleuth Alex Delaware, to a trendy gallery where a promising young artist has been brutally garroted on the night of her first major showing. The details of the murder scene immediately suggest to Alex not an impulsive crime of passion, but the meticulous and taunting modus operandi of a serial killer. Delaware's suspicions are borne out when he and Milo find there's a link between the artist's death and the murder of a noted blues guitarist. The Twisting trail leads from halfway houses to palatial mansions, and from a college campus to the last place Alex ever expected: the doorstep of his ex-lover Robin Castagna. As more killings are discovered, unraveling the maddening puzzle assumes a chilling new importance--stopping a vicious psychopath who's made cold-blood murder his chosen art form.

This was my first Eve Duncan book in this series and I really enjoyed it! Very intriguing, a little unbelievable and soap-opery, but an enjoyable read, none the less.

I really enjoy the eve duncan books...very interesting reading.

I loved the plot in the book. It kept my interest right through, wondering how it would turn out. But I did not like Eve Duncan, the heroine. She is supposed to be this really gutsy tough person who has survived this terrible tragedy, but she just seemed like a pain the butt through the whole book. I hope I like her better in the next book.
