EVE by Iris Johansen **

I wasn't crazy about the writing style. There are 2 guys and one chick all intertwined. One is Joe Queen the other is John Quinn. Can ya make em any closer without using the same name? Every female in the story has had a child kidnapped and killed. Child molester/serial killers work for some cop guy who keeps the serial killer out of trouble even tho he knows he's a killer. I don't get all the killers running around with  kudos from other cops. COPS hate child killers so this story is too far out in the netherworlds to be believed. Then you have the girl Eve's boyfriend Joe and his friend Catherine helping to chase down bad guys. The entire novel was written to find out where Eve's kid Bonnie is buried and guess what folks? You have to read the next novel to even know if that'll happen.

Book with no ending. Lots of things leftover. Hate it. Can't tolerate reading 377 pages of nonsense (written poorly) to have no ending. Sure some bad guys die but you don't know if Eves boyfriend lives or if the housekeeper lives, or if the kid gets back to her mom or anything else. You never know how or why stupid Eve has an adopted daughter, how or why she believes Black is the killer. I guess I was supposed to read the first two books to gain any knowledge. Not happening.

The writing is immature, repetitive and dull. I had very little interest in continuing so I don't know why she thinks I'm going to go out and find the next stupid book. NOT GOING TO.
Buh bye.
