“Silencing
Eve” by Iris Johansen
It’s a rush to the end. It’s a thrilling
ride. It’s the breathtaking, at times heartbreaking, continuation of the Eve Duncan series. I’ve loved every book
I’ve read by Johansen, but “Silencing Eve” outshines them all.
Taken by Doane—an evil man and Kevin’s
father, who Eve’s father Zander killed—Eve is made to recreate Kevin’s skull so
that Doane can have his revenge. He wants Eve to die under the watchful,
guilt-ridden eyes of Zander. Sort of a tit for tat thing. But that’s not all.
Kevin was more evil than Doane could ever be and Doane wants to finish what
Kevin put into motion before his death and kill thousands of innocent people.
Eve is unable to do much but subconsciously
reach out to those around her. As readers, we watch while Eve’s family and
friends run from Chicago to Seattle to try and stop the detonation of events
that will lead to a horrific number of deaths—and try to save Eve at the same
time. But they get a little help from a source that some of them are having a
hard time believing even exists.
Even if you’ve not read Johansen’s other
books, I implore you to pick this one up. Johansen is a master at weaving
suspense and making you sit on the edge of your seat, literally picking apart
the seams of the chair while urging everyone to hurry. Because there’s not much
time left…for Eve or thousands of others.
Definitely 10 out of 10 stars all the
way.
