Synopsis (from bn.com):
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. Eve is brilliant, driven, and tormented—because her own daughter, Bonnie, was taken from her years ago. But now, with the help of a CIA agent, Eve has uncovered some startling new evidence: A man with a connection to Bonnie that had been all but buried. His name is John Gallo. He’s from Eve’s own past. His whereabouts are unknown. And he might just be the missing piece to the puzzle that has haunted Eve for years…
My thoughts: This is the first book in a new trilogy taking a closer look at the each of the main characters in Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series - Eve, Quinn, and Bonnie!
I have read the entire Eve Duncan series and have been a huge fan for years. I loved this book! I loved how it was laid out, spending the first half of the book taking us back into Eve's very early years, her time with John Gallo (father of her beloved daughter Eve), and the birth of her daughter. The second half then took the reader on an exciting ride to hunt down Bonnie's kidnapper/murderer. Did John Gallo kill Bonnie as CIA agent Catherine Ling suggests? What is John Gallo's real story?
I thought it was really intriquing getting a glimpse into Eve's past and how she got where she is today. It really puts some perspective on all of the other books in the series.
The cliffhanger ending of course has me digging right into "Quinn" to see what happens!!!
I do sincerely hope that the mystery of who kidnapped/murdered Bonnie is finally wrapped up after this trilogy however. As much as I love the Eve Duncan Books, I do feel that the Bonnie story line is getting a bit old and a bit dragged out after a decade of this series. Please Iris Johansen, give us faithful readers a final answer to this puzzle and give Eve and Quinn some peace. It's enough already.
My rating: : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) Loved it!
And remember,
