When you actually go to buy out the books of Iris Johansen you will notice that many of her books are written on character named Eve Duncan (A forensic Sculptor).. Yes indeed these are all connected volumes which start with this novel..

Kennedy, Eve agrees, stipulating that her fee go to a fund for missing children.

Iris Johansen’s potrayal of character who are good with a hint of dark side about them, makes the novel much more enticing and thrilling.. Hope you guys enjoy it too.. 🙂
I too Read this Novel… Probably my first of Iris Johansen…
She writes very intriguing and fast paced stories… But I feel Eve has been portrayed as a more of a person crazy over her daughter, rather than the strong willed woman , iris wants her to be portrayed as.
That’s one fold of her.. So yes she’s been shown crazy behind her daughter.. Cos her character is such that her life revolves around her daughter.. And she is her priority.. She won’t even care about her life if she can find her daughter’s killer.. So yes I do agree that she is shown as a “person crazy over her daughter”.. But goin on for years to find her daughter’s killer in itself is a characteristic of a Strong Wiled Person
