I really enjoy Iris Johansen's books. I like the way she entertwines familiar characters throughout all of her books. This is definitely one of her best. I like Eve Duncan. She's a very strong and intelligent female character.

I tried to read this, as a fan of Johansen, but I really couldn't get into it at all.

This is a very good, on the edge of your seat, book. The ending just blew me away. It's one of the best mysteries I've ever read. It's about a forensic sculptor who looks for her murdered daughter, who's body has never been found, in every child that is found murdered. When a child's skeleton is found, she's hoping it is her missing daughter.

Very fast read. Pretty compelling, though I found some of the relationships a little hard to believe. (May help if you've read some of her other books....I haven't.) I mean, really....where do I find a couple men like Logan and Quinn to fawn all over me??? :) Guess that's why it's called FICTION.

It was a great read. Finished in record time. Many twists and turns!!

Excellent Book. Keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.

A merciless killer on the hunt...
An innocent child in his sights...
A woman driven to the edge to stop him...

Wow, what a great read. You can not figure it out until the end & it is shocking. Really interesting, kept me up late at night, trying to get to the end to see who did it. Must read.

The book is a quick read, same style/template as others in this series.

Just enough off of the beaten path to stir up an interest and to hold the readers attention to the details. the story line allowed a high level of expectation that is well fulfilled. The connecting and flow of the characters is smooth and held my interest well. You get to feel the panics and disappointments as well getting to be involved in the horror of the real loss senselessly inflicted into so many of these lives. I really enjoyed the twists and turns, as well as the warm passions and the few hot ones as well. This is a worthwhile read with a good balance but off-beat just enough to keep the interest and tuned up. It is worth the credit and your time.

The killer knows Eve Duncan all too well. He knows the pain she feels for her murdered daughter, Bonnie, whose body has never been found. He knows that as one of the nation's top forensic sculptors she'll insist on identifying the nine skeletons unearthed on a bluff near Georgia's Talladega Falls. He knows she won't be able to resist the temptation of believing that one of those skeletons might be her daughter's. But that is only the beginning of the killer's sadistic game. He wants Eve one on one, and he'll use his ace in the hole to make sure she complies. And he won't stop playing until he claims the prize he wants most: Eve's life.

Awesome writer

I really enjoyed this book.

A merciless killer on the hunt...

An innocent child in his sights...

A woman driven to the edge to stop him...

Iris Johansen, New York Times bestselling author of The Face of Deception and The Ugly Duckling, returns with the most daring, terrifying, and nerve-shattering novel of her career as she takes us inside the twisted mind of a psychopath...and the heart of a woman who refuses to let him win.

The killer knew Eve Duncan all too well. He knew the pain she felt for her murdered daughter, Bonnie, whose body was never found. He knew that as one of the nation's top forensic sculptors she would insist on identifying nine skeletons unearthed on a bluff near Georgia's Talladega Falls. And he knew that she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of believing that one of those skeletons--the one belonging to a young girl--might be Bonnie's.

But that is only the beginning of the killer's sadistic game. Soon the calls begin to come. Sly, insinuating, chilling. Whoever is on the other end of the line is watching. He sees every move Eve makes. He savors her pain. He could strike at any time. But that's not what he wants--not yet.

In a heartbeat, Eve's world is turned upside down. Not even the two tough, powerful, and relentless men who would do anything to keep Eve safe can help her. Charismatic business magnate John Logan and hard-as-nails Atlanta detective Joe Quinn can't go where Eve must go. Because the killer wants her alone, and he'll use his ace in the hole to make sure Eve complies.

Now Eve Duncan must match wits with the most dangerous of psychopaths. A man for whom life and death is no more than a game. A killing game. And he won't stop playing until he's gotten the prize he wants most: Eve's life.

Great Book, Wonderful Author.
