Publisher Description
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, a woman finally gets her happily-ever-after ending with the man she loves—until a woman on the run shows up on her doorstep with enough secrets to get them all killed.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Johansen's overstuffed 28th outing for forensic sculptor Eve Duncan (after 2020's The Persuasion), scientist Diane Connors, the beautiful ex-wife of Eve's husband, Det. Joe Quinn of the Atlanta PD, turns up on Eve's doorstep and asks her "to perform a reconstruction on the skull of a man who is supposed to be buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of Nevada and help me identify him." The reconstruction of the skull gets lost in the main plot, in which Diane, who has found a way to synthesize a plant that can cure cancer and practically everything else, Eve, and Joe do battle with billionaire Joshua Nalam, who has the "power and money and ability to bend governments and companies to his will" and covets Diane's discovery. Paranormal elements include the ability of Eve's psychic 10-year-old son, Michael, to achieve a sort of emotional contact with various players in the drama. Readers should be prepared for long stretches of expository dialogue in which characters lay out their CVs to one another. This one's strictly for series fans.
Customer Reviews
Difficult
I’m sorry, but this book was difficult to get through. I have really enjoyed the series, so I stuck with it to the end, but it did not hold my attention very well. Came close many times to just reading the ending and calling it done.
Two stars from this reader.
Iris is to busy writing the next book instead of properly writing the current one. Last 2 from her are boring & drug out. This is the last book I’ll ever pay for from her.
Chatty chatty
You are too chatty. It becomes boring to keep reading the same conversation over a d over. I won’t be reading any more of these stupid books. When you started out you were great but now you just too far out and too chattyelliedallyfatassh
