Customer Reviews

Body of Lies

Johansen certainly continues to pique my interest throughout this book (as with all the others). I am hooked on the Eve Duncan series, and love the way she continues to mingle all the characters from previous books, without making you have to read the former books to know how they fit into this narrative. I hope Eve, Joe and Sandy continue finding cases for a long time with all their "assistants," including Monty!

Excellent Book

This is the first Iris Johansen book I have read. The author draws you in immediately. I couldn't put the book down. I cannot remember the last time I picked up a book and read it within a day or two. I love the ending too. Too many authors set up the story and then just hit you with the conclusion so quickly you feel like you were hit by a truck. Not this one. After all of the excitement the author ties up lose ends.

LOVE IT

I LOVE IRIS JOHANSEN!!!! ALL OF THE BOOKS I HAVE READ OF HERS ARE GREAT!!!!! READ THEM, YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED!

OUTSTANDING

I just finished reading this book. I read two or three Ms. Johansen's books before and I enjoyed them very much. Smart, well paced, interesting. They keep you going. Than I started to read the "Body of Lies" and went beyond the enjoyment. I think this is the best of her works. It is very powerful and very thought through. I could not put it down intil I was done. This book should be up front with the best of best. Keep it up Ms. Johansen. All the best.

exciting thriller

After the heartache forensic sculptor Eve Duncan has been through, she's finally happy. She's living with her lover Atlanta Detective Joe Quinn, and her daughter Bonnie after years of searching is buried on their property. When Senator Melton of Louisiana calls asking Eve for help in identifying a skull, she refuses. Jules Herbert, a member of the Cabal, insists that Eve be the one to do the identification. Since she refused the Senator, Jules arranges for her to find out about Joe's betrayal. When she does, she runs to Louisiana to drown herself in work so she won't have to dwell on what Joe did to her. From the time she arrives she is faced with death threats to her and her loved ones. Joe follows her to make sure Eve lives to see another day even if she hates him for it. Iris Johanson has written another exciting thriller starring characters from previous novels. Readers will feel they are being reunited with two dear friends and hope that they can work out their problems, both professional and personal. BODY OF LIES is a compelling tale filled with so many unexpected twists and turns that readers won't be able to predict what happens next.Harriet Klausner
