    About this audiobook

    The #1 bestselling author Iris Johansen delivers the first in a trilogy that will begin to answer questions that have haunted her legion of fans for over a decade, in her next novel of breathtaking suspense

    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.

      At university, I said I hated Nate Moore. It was an annoying-sibling hate, the kind exclusive to teenagers. I remember once we were in the living room of my and Jen’s townhouse-style dorm in the fall of my sophomore year, drinking Kahlua with coffee.

      A rare book I could not get into, could not and would not finish reading. Found the writing to be really odd and the characters one-dimensional. Just shows that a "NY Times best-selling author" is not for everyone.
    • 2/5
      In this novel we are taken back to the very beginning, before Bonnie was even born, when we meet Gallo, about to join the army, and follow his intense relationship with Eve ... and the conception of Bonnie. When Eve is confronted with the possibility that it is Gallo, Bonnie's own father, who kidnapped and killed Bonnie, she had to find out. The question throughout the novel is whether Gallo is being honest with Eve, or whether he is leading her into his own trap.

      I love her stand alone books but for some reason I don't like the Eve Duncan books. I think I just got tired of Eve going on every other page about her daughter Bonnie. Okay, it was a mothers worse nightmare but enough is enough.
    • 4/5
      Wow. This took me by surprise. Not my normal genre of reading, but I found I could not put it down. I did not expect the cliff-hanger ending.
    • 4/5
      This book was great! After reading so many Eve Duncan stories and never really knowing what was going on, we finally got a taste of the back story concerning Eve when she was just a child and before she got pregnant with Bonnie. The ending certainly had me screaming because of the cliff-hanger, but at least we won't have to wait too long. Just 3 months until Quinn!
    • 2/5
      A nasty, violent book with an inconclusive, cliff-hanger ending and a cast of unbelievable characters which includes a demented ex-military man, a serial killer and a murdered child who speaks from beyond the grave.
    • 5/5
      Always loved the cover of the book, so I wanted to read it. Finally got to read it and I was hooked. It has a very good pace to it. Plus, Eve is a great character. Not too fond of Joe, so I'm a little worried about if I'm going to like the next book or not. After everything Eve went through with Bonnie, I feel horrible for her. She loved that child and tried to give her a great life. And what happened was completely unfair to her. Can't wait to read the next one.
    • 5/5
      I like the way it went back to the begining with her life. How her relationship with Bonnie's fother. I was so in to the book but when it ended. I was thinking what happens next. I could not wait until Quinn came out so i can find out what happens.

      Eve Duncan is a forensic sculptor. She analyzes bones and pieces them together to try and identify dead people. It's her mission in life. She lost her child, Bonnie, years ago and Eve constantly hopes that one day she will find out what happened to Bonnie even as she brings other people's children home using her talent. Her good friend, Catherine Ling, now comes to Eve with some information which might actually help Eve finally find out what happened to Bonnie.Eve is the first in a 3 book series about Eve, Quinn and Bonnie. Much of the book is flashback to Eve's youth and the birth of Bonnie. Simultaneously, there is a race to find the person who not only may be Bonnie's killer but someone who has close ties to Eve's youth. There are parts of the book that seem to drag, especially the flashbacks, but the information is new to reader's of the Eve Duncan series and the search for the killer is extememly suspenseful and fast-paced.
    • 5/5
      I know, I know. This is not a Young Adult book. But I have been reading Iris Johansen's books since I was 12. So it counts. Kinda. For any followers who have read any of Iris Johansen's books, especially the Eve Duncan series, let me know. I don't know anyone who reads these and they are such fantastic books that I wish I had someone to share them with.The beginning of this book is set in Eve's past as she relives the event that lead up to the birth of her daughter, Bonnie. Eve meets John Gallo at 16 and lets her guard down with him in a way she has never done before. When he leaves for the Army she is sure she will never think of him again, until three weeks after he is gone she finds herself sick on her knees in the bathroom. All of a sudden Eve is certain that she will never forget John Gallo. She has her daughter and then sees Gallo's uncle one day when taking Bonnie for a walk and learns that John Gallo has been killed in action on a mission for the army.Fast forward to present day when Eve learns from a friend and CIA agent that John Gallo is now a suspect in Bonnie's unsolved murder. He never really was killed in action, it was all an army cover up and as it turns out, Gallo was in the area the same month that Bonnie disappeared. All Eve has ever wanted is to find her daughter's remains so she can bring her home and to find her killer. Now Eve is faced with a burning question. Could the man who gave her Bonnie also be the one who took her away?I have been waiting years (years!) to find out what happened to Bonnie and when I found out this trilogy was coming out and was going to shine light on the mystery I was thrilled. Iris Johansen has done it again with a book so real and so vivid that I felt like I was living on the pages.I also read Quinn, the second in the trilogy and I will be posting my review of that sometime this week. I can't wait for October and the final book in the trilogy, Bonnie, to be released. I hope to preorder it and I will be taking the first bus to Barnes and Noble to pick it up and chances are I will be reading it in the store because I won't want to wait until I get home.

      The book Eve is a continuation of the series about Eve Duncan, a forensic sculptor that does skull reconstructions to help families bring closure to their losses. Throughout the series, Eve is continuing to search for her missing and presumably dead young daughter Bonnie. This segment of the story focuses more on Eve as a young girl as well as Bonnie's biological father who enters into the story to help Eve find their missing daughter. (He had been captured from the Rangers and presumed dead) This is a nice continuation of the series, but could also be read as a stand alone novel.

      Eve Duncan is an ongoing character for Iris Johansen. Eve is a well respected forensic scientist whose talents are in demand by many police departments.She's been with her lover, Detective Joe Quinn for years and is still haunted by the kidnapping of her daughter, Bonnie, two years ago.Now, Eve's friend Catherine Ling, of the CIA asks if she's considered if Bonnie's father migh have had anything to do with the kidnapping.Eve is astonished. She thought Bonnie's father, John Gallo, died when serving in the military.The story flashes back and we learn some of Eve's childhood and secrets of her past. When she was fifteen, she was living with her drug dependent mother who even asked Eve to give her money from her part time job, to buy drugs. One day when a friend of Eve's was being taunted by neighborhood punks, Eve went to her defense. When the punks began to harass Eve and began to assault her, John Gallo appeared and used some self defense moves to take care of the punks. He also was impressed with Eve's gutsy manner and began to pursue her, romantically.The story tells what happened to Gallo when he reappeared after serving in the military in an advanced unit. When Eve learns that Gallo survived the war, she wants to learn if he had anything to do with her daughter's kidnapping.I enjoyed the novel and learning about Eve's rise from a poverty stricken youth to a well respected scientist. However, since she is an ongoing character, questions remained unanswered.
