“Quicksand” by Iris Johansen
2011 Book Review #57
Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is consumed with the prolonged search for the body of her daughter, Bonnie. The man in her life, Atlanta detective and former navy SEAL Joe Quinn, questions whether or not he can continue his relationship with Eve as the specter of Bonnie continues to haunt them.
At one of their most trying times, Joe pursues a lead that may either solve the mystery or destroy their relationship. Add the pressure of child killer Henry Kistle focusing on Eve and drug lord Montalvo, whose desire to help is fueled by his desire for Eve, and things get complicated.
Kistle taunts Eve with phone calls and written statements as he uses his military training to lead Joe, Montalvo, and the FBI on a chase from remote Bloomberg, Illinois, to alligator-infested swamps. Eve needs more help, so Johansen reaches back to Pandora's Daughter (2007) and brings in psychic Megan Blair.
Keeping the tension high and the pace relentless, prolific and compelling Johansen adds depth to her popular characters as she continues this suspenseful series.
My Thoughts: Eve Duncan is one of my favorite characters. Good Book!
