This book was a great read and I was glad to get away from the storyline of the last two books in this series.I was so tired of reading about Herculaneum and Cira, that this book was a nice change of pace.

Always enjoy the different turns in the road Johansson turns. Very imaginative turn of events focusing back on Eve and Joe

Another book I missed in the Eve Duncan series so doing some "catch up." What an exciting read, and I absolutely loved it...finished it in record time (1 day). Johansen is masterful in her writing, and the Eve Duncan character along with her "merry band of friends, family, and associates" keeps me guessing. I love this series!

Her characters and their emotions come alive and are very believable. Great writing style and the storyline is tense and complex. On the down side, there are so many close calls that is becomes less believable

I've been an Iris Johansen fan since high school, and I've particularly liked the Eve Duncan series, especially Countdown, and Blind Alley. But this book... The characters were all out of whack. After reading the previous six books, almost all the characters pulled a complete 180, right down to the secondary character of Sean Galen. I mean... the characters have always been cliches, and the same characteristics in all the characters, but at least they were compelling, and an interesting read. This book just... Everything changed. I guess that's really the only way to describe it. The characters I'd come to love -namely Joe and Eve -were completely different people. It was like reading a different series. Three stars only because it had a decent plot line, although 'decent' is as much credit as I would give it.

I have been a fan of Iris Johansen for a long time - Her series featuring Eve Duncan have always had a reality to them. Eve lost her daughter, Bonnie, and has failed to find her body and 'bring her home'. To do something productive with her life, she becomes a forsenic sculptor, bringing back loved ones to families by identifying the lost faces.Since the beginning of the series, Bonnie has appeared to Eve and speaks with her. Some folks think she comes in dreams and is not real. She is real, and I take exception that Eve calls her daughter a ghost - Bonnie is a spirit and there is a difference. Eve is awake when Bonnie comes and Bonnie tells Eve things she wouldn't know - So Bonnie is a great character in this series too.In Stalemate, Eve has been contacted by a Colombian boss to come and do a reconstruction for him. She refuses. He says he can help find her current reconstruction's murderer. He does. And he offers her one thing no one else can do - bring Bonnie home and find her killer. With that strong pull, she decides to fly to Colombia. Montalvo is a mystery man - strong, handsome, powerful, with his own kind of justice. Eve is drawn to him, however her loyalty is to Bonnie and Joe, her live-in lover. Joe gets his feelings hurt that Eve goes to Montalvo, and it starts a stalemate - she wants Bonnie, Joe can never fulfil that. Montalvo says he can.So therein lies the story - Eve doing her job for Montalvo, and Joe, following her to Colombia, is upset with Eve that he wasn't consulted in her decision. Eve on a personal mission to get Bonnie back if she completes Montalvo's job. Montalvo is a great character, and Bonnie tells Eve that she will see Montalvo again...that should be interesting.
